Lamb's Spiced

I liked the old version with white and green label when I got to taste it for the first time. Nice combination of tastes with dominance of cinnamon and not too sweet. Then i tried the new version with yellowish and red label and unfortunately it got much worse in my eyes. All i liked about this rum was gone and that disappointed me hard. Weaker sensation of cinnamon, more sugar and other tastes i can describe just as...synthetic.

This rum will never find its way on to my bar. I have never been a fan since a friend gave me a drink of rum. It was the only rum he had and did not warn me that it was spiced. It came close to being spit out but I refrained due to our friendship. I never drink rum at his home again.

Vanill and them some more vanilla. Unfortunately from the nose to finish this has synthetic note and a slight harshness.

A cheap mixer, I usually have a half empty bottle of this lying around. I take this with coconut and pepsi. Not one of my sippers.

On first glance, the rum is a bright yellow/golden colour - a sign of what's to come. On opening, your nose is knocked for six with the overpowering aroma of vanilla, even then it's not a natural vanilla scent- it's a fake chemically smell. This continues through to the taste, tolerable with a mixer but I wouldn't rush out to buy this myself.

It tates a bit fake - mind you so does Admiral J, but this is not as pleasant as that. The vanilla seems like chemicals to me. I actually quite enjoy vanilla, but Old J and Pink Pigeon are better, and Rolling Calf is way better. Or you could try the St Aubin Vanilla Rhum which is really a flavoured rum rather than a spiced one - it has a hell of a vanilla kick to it!

not to bad as any port in a storm rum but its nice, a bit weak for me and the spice flavour doesnt really hit me

This spiced rum was fine a couple of years ago until they changed the recipe. Now it has an horrendous synthetic and overpowering vanilla taste and smell. Sickly even after jus a couple mixed with cola. Avoid.

Odd smell, overpowering fake vanilla taste, avoid.

It was a present for me (would never buy it :D), it has very strong vanilla and cinnamon taste, not my cup of tea. Other spiced rums I have tasted were much better. Got rid of that bottle :)

At least I can upload image of bottle, seems missing here

Very strong in the vanilla flavour and can be a too powerful over an evening... Lovely with coke but the odd one
