Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve

Klasický dark rum alá myers. Jen trochu dražší a trochu planější.

Some nice notes of vanilla, caramel and dry fruits, the end is pretty rough if you have it straight. I think it would make some great coktails thought.

Rating kommer i morgen nå jeg er blevet ædru eller lige efter tør og sprittet, god duft

I don't like mixing rums, so this one is up straight. Dark gold. Quite a pleasant, spicy, raisiny nose with a tiny hint of iodine. On the palate it is very smooth. I read the database about sugar being added, and am slightly surprised that one of the readings says 0 and the other reading says a small amount. It is caramely with hints of vanilla which lead me to think that it might have had a touch of sweetness added. If it has, then it isn't over the top at all. There is still a dryness on the front pallet, which leads on to the vanilla mid pallet, and a nice spicy warm finish. Good length.

Easy to drink, if a little unremarkable.

OK, the offset label and the plastic "seal" fit the story and the price is not bad. If I am in the mood for a "darkish/spiceish" rum this would be my choice, really it would be! I don't enjoy overly spiced rums but this one does not pretend to be spiced it just has a hint. Only use it as a mixer like lime and coke, but it works well in a dark and stormy if it's what you have on hand. In short, OK on my shelf, my wallet and taste.

Wanted to see how this one compared to a goslings. Pleasantly surprised. Does the job well as a mixer. Especially like the Blackwell in a tradewinds

As a mixer this is really good - makes one hell of a dark and stormy. As a sipper - totally one dimensional and flat tasting very very little of that Jamaica funk. So i will split the difference in my rating. 8 as a mixer and 4 as a sipper.

Blackwell Black rom overrasker meget, ikke så skarp som forventet, kan drikkes ren.

good molasses, but not sweet. Has a decent mouth feel but not quite what I like in a sipper. May be a good alternative to goslings or Meyers but not a replacement.

Bon en rhum and coke, doux et vanillé. Bon rapport qualité prix.
