It claims to be aromatic, and it is, at least a bit.

The problems comes in that's not really want I want from a rum. I realise I sound close minded, but it just isn't what I want and I feel like if it was, I'd be more of a gin drinker.

Not usually one for the botanicals but this is so different and complex.

Ignore the low tier ratings - this rum has fist loads of flavour. It is a cheap and interesting addition to any collection.

It is not a great like Zacapa, El Dorado or santa teresa, it isnt as refined as diplomaticos 2005 or the de familia. But it is a good rum.

Brewdog always hit with something different so this rum is fermented with red wine yeast, its relatively smooth and has a big molassasy punch, all in all its quite warming.

They substitute the vanilla for tonka beans, which gives the drink a more complex taste, thats more subdued than vanilla, its slightly earthier than other spices with a hint of the same flavours you would get from a brewed cola. There is no aniseed in this drink contrary to what some have said, plenty of cloves, some cardamon with a great whiff of orange off the tongue with a touch of cinnamon.

its not the most well balanced, but for a Β£20 rum its great over ice.

I like this one a lot, but its definitely one that only works in the winter due to its botanical spices. Great at Christmas.

The smell and flavours are unique and it has great potential. However there’s something flat about it. It’s almost like a dulled down version of really great rum.

This stuff is nuts, not Rum, maybe a rum based liqueur. Insane amounts of flavour of cloves, spices and herbs etc. and a heap of Orange too, so you cannot actually taste Rum..................... but it does taste lovely, on occasion and in small amounts LOL . I like it, but a little goes a long way.

I bought this as I'm a fan of some of the other Brewdog products and I'll be honest it did catch xh me by surprise.. Bitter and complex but it does provide a long smooth finish. It takes some getting used to but I can safely say you have never tasted anything like this before

Really nice, so nice I nearly drank the whole bottle in one night.
Doesn't need bitters for those dark n' stormys.
Goes down very easy

Thought this smelled interesting with buckets of herbs and sweetness. It tastes horrific though either straight or mixed. That's 3 from 3 of Scottish rums that I've hated (This, Wester & Dark Matter).
