This rum has everything from chili to actual gunpowder in it. An assault on the senses, it is something you have to at least try. Primarily however, this is a key ingredient in some of the very best cocktails I've ever had and once you have a blood and sand or daiquiri made with this rum, you won't be able to stand a normal boring daiquiri again.

This is one of my favourite rums not only to drink but also to share with others.

The chilli kick in the back end of the sip really allows the taste to linger long after the swallow.

Not an easy rum to drink a lot of but definitely one you’ll want to drink again.

Good for a night cap to keep you warm.

This is a dark, strong rum but the "gunpowder" ruins it completely... With every mouthful my throat burns like eating peppercorns and mixing it doesn't help. Lighting it on fire is cool but makes it even worse.
Ruins the experience in my opinion

I purchased this rum while travelling in New Zealand after tasting it in a local bar. Sitting at 101 proof it is technically an overproof dark rum however has the flavours of a mature darkened rum. The rum has lingering chilli, coffee, chocolate and smoke flavours which replace the heat from the alcohol. I have yet to find anything that works well with this rum in terms of mixers however its a truly fantastic rum as a stand alone. 9/10
