Spytail Black Ginger

To sweet for me. Has a weird taste on back of tongue. When put on ice the ginger flavour finally comes out

The flavor of this rum is off. It kind is tastes like it has chapstick in it

I found this rum in Reno, Nevada at a large liquor store that had an entire rack of it. I had never saw it before and it was from France, so I thought it would be an interesting rum to try.

I opened the bottle and out came a strong smell of an unpleasant aftershave, with a strong infusion of ginger.

The taste was a massive hit of ginger and spice, with a little brown sugar, licorice, and some lime. Surprisingly easy drinking for 42%abv, but just not great tasting to me. Way too much ginger imho. Probably intended as a mixer.

Picked this up on clearance because of the cute submarine bottle. The ginger tastes artificial, the burn is awful, and there was a strong vibe of floor cleaner. I couldn't even use it for bananas foster because the acrid ginger was so bad. This has tainted my perception of rums coming from the French. Sorry France, this submarine should have stayed under the sea.
