Rumbullion Spiced

Love this rum, amongst the best! The Navy Strength has that little extra kick, but this, not only cheaper, still provides all the flavour and excitement you want from a good spiced ru

One of my favourite dark rums. Not as 'rich' as Wood's, but certainly smoother, and tastier making it one of the best dark/navy style rums out there. Mixes well in the common favour
