The Rum & Crab Shack Dead Man’s Fingers Spiced Rum
Poured neat, most tasters find this too sweet and artificial to enjoy — but drop it into cola or a dark 'n' stormy and it starts making sense. Expect cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and butterscotch, with a fruity-candy note some compare to bubblegum. A few pick up coffee and marzipan. This is a spiced mixing bottle, not a sipper.

How does The Rum & Crab Shack Dead Man’s Fingers Spiced Rum taste?
Aggregated from 58 community reviews.
Sweet, spicy mixer, not for sipping Reviews land firmly in mixer territory: winter spice and vanilla that read as sweet and synthetic neat. Many rate it low, but it does its job in a cocktail.

Review by Plato Potato
Woody and spicy. Bit like cognac, but with dark, sweet fruity aftertaste. Likely the best ever fingering from a dead man in my life to date
Review by Stevie Slick Probert
Vanilla, cloves, cinnamon and saffron Medium finish
Review by Louis Britten
Best dead man's I've had so far.
Review by rum_sk
Well this one is a good one for mixers but not so much as a plain sipper. Nose is artificially sweet full of winter spicy elements such as cinnamon. On the palate it resembles the same spicy winter mix and sweet with a bit of chilly elements. Coffee is present too that sort of reminds me some coffee sweets such as Kofila that is known is Slovakia. Overall I can imagine a good dark n' stormy but overall I would not recommend drinking it neat.

Sladký ... ale celkom sa dá.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
06.2024 First impression: Chewing gum? Nose: synthetic, fruit chewing gum, orange Palate: sweet, orange, nutmeg, spices, unimpressive Finish: dry, medium length Overall impression: the nose promises more than the palate can deliver. I wouldn't even want to mess up a mixer with this, rating lowered from originally 6.0 to 5.5 2023 For €21, you get a strongly flavored and sweetened mixer that doesn't have much of a rum flavor because of the intense chewing gum aroma. Otherwise a drinkable party spirit.

Infused, sweetened, artificial
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Cool name and design, but that's about it. Unfortunately, to be an eye-catcher on the shelf, it also has to be drunk. It tastes artificially sweet on its own and the fruity note is also a disaster. Spiced rums are not my cup of tea and this has manifested itself with this flop. Just a 5 because it is suitable for mixing.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Unfortunately, this spiced rum is not my taste at all. In the nose rather spices, vanilla and caramel. The taste is a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. But very artificial and alcohol not well integrated
Review by zabo
Only bought it at the time because of the cool glass that came with it. It took me ages to use it only as a mixer. I couldn't use it on its own. As with many others that I try out as a mixer for guests from time to time, it is also far too sweet. The artificial taste is like a slap in the face like most spirit drinks.
Review by Jan Lu
Bah, also das ist wirklich so eins der miesesten Rums die ich verkosten musste. Komischer likörartiger Zuckersaft. Wirklich kein Vergnügen. Schätze mit Cola ist der auch nicht zu retten. Da bleib ich lieber trocken
Review by Kieron Wood
