Right, its important to say I'm Scottish so a bit biased. That being said Dark Matter is unique. And unique in a good way. Yes, its spicy with tones of liquorice, ginger and coriander but its bloody good. Don't be scared folks, give it a whirl whilst listening to some of The specials and you'll be fine.

for a rum with a trendy label i thought it would be gimmicky. Although not a go getter rum it was almost there. The taste is good not hard hitting, little bit alcoholic tasting but not bad, not worth 90 dollars

Made up in Aberdeenshire, this was recommended by a colleague since it made the shelf in Tesco. Distinctive flavour that has to be tried. Bit of a love it hate it marmite thing I expect. I love it!

Excellent with a good quality ginger beer.

I bought this Rum for £25, RRP £29, so off to a good start, having saved £4. But that’s where the good vibes ended with this rum because, wow, how much do I not like this! It’s so fiery it’s brutal! I’m not kidding when I say it made my lips burn and literally gave me heartburn when I drank this neat! To cut to the chase, drinking this without a mixer is akin to having a Vindaloo Curry, it’s that intense. But having said that, even with tonnes of ice and mixed with Coca-Cola it still remains too searing for me. At the end of the day it boils down to this. If you like ginger, pepper, cloves, I’m presuming all these spices have been used, then I recommend this Rum. However Dead Man’s Fingers spiced is very similar to this, but is priced at only £22. Just saying.

Not the worst rum I've ever had, but far from the best. Clove and peppercorn flavours overpower everything else, to the extent that mixing with coke barely changes the flavour at all; it just cuts straight through.

I mix this with ginger beer and a dash of lime. I enjoy both the colour and the flavour, a bit of punch in the spice.

I've been meaning to try this out for a while, and while in lockdown I reached ****-it, and bought a bottle.

Strong on clove on the nose with a chaser of ginger and pepper. I'm not the biggest fan of clove so was a little put off, however, when I tried it straight, I was pleasantly surprised.

Vanilla, cinnamon, strong caramel rummy flavour with a bit of clove producing an almost cola-like flavour. Very smooth, very balanced. Very enjoyable. Mixed great with everything I've thrown at it.

I shouldn't be surprised by another good Scottish rum. Highly rate it, could easily slog straight or have mixed. What a hit!

PS. The hot cross bun simile is accurate on smell, but on taste, rather than butter, spread vanilla cola ice cream... Lol

String molasses content could push a few people away from this. This spices may push more. Harsh in smell. Enjoyable if you can avoid all these negatives.

This spiced rum has a heavy ginger smell and taste to it. If you don't like ginger, i would avoid this! Luckily, i am on the side that likes ginger and i also enjoy the fiery feeling as it goes down your throat. It's quite enjoyable to drink although nothing spectacular but it is pretty unique thanks to the ginger. I love the name too!
