Sea Dog Black Spiced

A budget priced spiced rum, but with a quality taste to compare with kraken and such likes.

Really nice to drink straight or with Ice.

Little kick but not much fire. Really smooth.

For what you pay, can't really knock it, as good as its version it copied

An unexpectedly pleasant shop rum. Easy to drink. Flavourful, but not overly so. Smooth. And inexpensive.

Got this Sea Dog Premium Black Spiced rum as a gift from the UK, the only country this rum is available. The rum is awarded 'gold medal' by The Rum & Cachaça Masters 2019. It's got a very spicy and sweet nose, with a powerful smell of the alcohol, burning a little bit in the nose. A very interesting taste, with on one hand tropical limes, caramelized sugar and vanilla, on the other hand the depthness of dark coffee. The aftertaste is unfortunately quite quickly gone. Conclusion: an average spiced rum, but with the price of only £17 (€19) I am not going to complain.

A decent rum from the German discounter.
Plenty of spice and definitely holds its own vs far more expensive ones of the same ilk

Being a budget store brand it is actually a good tasting rum

A little sweet for my liking but bought in a bind and wasn't expecting much. However better than anticipated...not too spicy and a lovely dark look.

Good spiced rum from aldi cheap and tastes good what more could you ask for

An Aldi Supermarket purchase bottled for the supermarket chain, its not hard to work out the motivation for producing this black spiced rum,they are clearly going after a part of the Kraken Market share.
It is significantly cheaper than Kraken at around the £15 mark.as you can imagine it tastes very similar to Kraken, heavy on the vanilla, but to my taste buds it is a little sweeter than Kraken.
For me it doesn't have as strong a alcohol taste as Kraken and is quite smooth but the aftertaste is very short lived. An easy drink with coke, not so easy with Ginger Ale.
