Jonah's Curse Black Spiced

Nice balance of flavors and sweetness, even thought they are added/artificial. Has a decent kick at 94 proof.

Burn and sink me if this not be snickerdoodle rum! She smells like cookies, super sweet, with brown sugar, vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon. As taste goes, all those are on board, with cinnamon showing up more with the burn... which be mild. This rum be very smooth and easy to drink. There be a fair amount of sugar in this rum, so you may find yourself smackin' your sticky lips afterwards. This rum be cleverly named, but I believe the only "curse" Jonah got from drinkin' this was diabetes... arrgh!!!

I have been extremely reluctant to try this rum based on the polarized extreme on these reviews as well as from Total Wine reviewers. So today, I saw this bottle in Total Wine and told myself WTF, it's only $17 US and the cheapest one in my buggy. Therefore it gets rated first.

What makes this spiced rum from Kentucky different is the addition of cloves. One would also never guess that it is 94 proof. What will it do to my system the next day? I won't drink enough to find out what I am afraid will happen. On spiced rums, I have had better and I have had much worse. This one was cheap enough to take the gamble on it. I will let you decide for yourself.

For the affordable price this heavily sweet rum with thick notes of vanilla bean is very delicious as a sipping rum but so cheap you won't feel guilty for mixing it in cocktails.

Great alternative to Captain Morgan Black, Kraken, and Gosling's. Has earned a place in my usual rotation. A little hard to find. Great value and rich, complex flavor. Check it out!

If you like black spiced rum, you'll like this one. Similar to Kraken. Not as smooth as an aged rum, but great as a mixer.

Pretty good with Coca Cola. Smooth, good flavor. Nice color also, when drinking it straight.

During my early rum kick I was buying everything under $40 haha! Luckily my favorite sipper ended up being Jonah's at a lower price than a lot of others that are only half as tasty. Rich flavor and full of aromatic notes, this rum is a pleasant surprise to most non-rum snobs out there!! Life's too short to play the pretentious game. Enjoy all the Curse you get your hands on!

When looking for a flavored spice of rum without breaking the bank, The Curse is a great option that can be sipped all night.
