Picked this bottle up online because I was looking for a different Dark Jamaican rum than the usual Myers's or Appleton 12 (we don't have Coruba in Holland). This is indeed a very dark rum but without the rich funky nose that the Jamaican rums are known for. This rum is sweet with strong hints of coffee bean, chocolate and toffee. Great in tropical cocktails like a Jungle Bird or Planter's Punch but also very decent went drunk neat. Blackwell is aged for two years and I wouldn't be surprised that they did a little caramel coloring. That's why I think a 7 is high enough.

Can work as a sipping rum

I love the story behind this rum. If you don't know it? Check it out. Music and Rum, a great combination.

To the rum. Well I love the colour. True Jamaican rum fashion. On the nose I get a nice mellow sweetness. Toasted hazelnuts and roasted marshmallow.

On the palate? wow... Bursts of vanilla, coffee, hazelnuts again (not too sure why, but that is a huge nut flavour I keep getting) Coats your mouth with warmth, but not too hot.

I will need to play with this rum a little to determine if it should be left neat, on the rocks, or mixed, because there is a lot of potential, yet I am not too sure which direction I would go with this great rum.

I found this looking for alternative dark rums besides Gosling's and Myers'. I really like it. Great for Dark N Stormy's. I like it for darkening my Jamaican Rum Punch as well.

I really liked this rum after trying at the rum fest a couple of years ago. It was warm, with a hint of spice, as well as being sweet with dried fruits cutting though. Makes an awesome Dark 'N' Stormy!!
