Review by Johannes
Relatively tangy, superficial vanilla note
Review by Christoph
Spicy, chocolaty, some orange in total but still a relatively indefinable "mishmash" with which I do not really warm up.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a great rum for making rum balls, which I make pretty often.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It's a very versatile and very unique tasting spiced rum. For me Bristol Black Spiced Rum, Foursquare and Elements Eight Spiced rums are the standout spiced rums I have tried so far. This joins that company and is easily one of the best spiced rums on the market."Read full review →
