Spirits of Old Man Rum Project Three Dark Expression
Coffee and cocoa lead here, wrapped in vanilla, caramel and a clear sweet edge — a few tasters compare it to a diluted Dictador. Members find it soft, easy and a bit sweetened, with several noting the body reads thin and the finish comes up short. Roasty and dessert-like, it works best as an unfussy after-dinner sipper rather than a rum you'll dig into.

How does Spirits of Old Man Rum Project Three Dark Expression taste?
Aggregated from 79 community reviews.
Sweet, easy coffee-and-chocolate sipper Most find it a pleasant, sweet coffee-and-chocolate sipper. The common gripe: it's mild, a little thin, and light on complexity, with some wanting more punch than 40% gives.

I hate coffe, hence the low score, coffe drinkers will probably enjoy this
Review by Stefan Persson
Blend of 8-10 yo rum from different places in the Caribbean and South America. The significant aromas and flavors is coffee, vanilla and caramel. It’s also well balanced but the finish is unfortunately rather short.
Review by Bastien Champain
sent et goût de café vanillé 15,5/20
Review by Timo Groeger
Ist echt ein ganz schöner Sipper dieser Rum. Nix besonderes, aber ganz gut. Die Nase besteht aus überwiegend Karamell, Kaffee und Vanille. Am Gaumen dann auch eine angenehme Süße, Vanille, Schokolade, Karamell und Kaffee haben wir hier.

Review by Tim
Surprisingly good on the nose, the roasty notes such as coffee or cocoa are program, rounded off by sweet caramel. In the mouth very unspectacular mild and thin. There is nothing new really, the main flavors run through from start to finish. Compared to the other projects, a pleasant change.
Review by Montana
Süß, nach Nougat und Kaffee, Vanille. Auch der Geschmack geht in die gleiche Richtung, sehr angenehm. Ein sehr leckerer Rum.
Review by Rumpalumpa
im Gegensatz zu den anderen Old man Abfüllungen scheint hier ein zwar gesüßter aber sonst eher natürlicher Rum vorzuliegen. riecht zimtig und schokoladig. Schmeckt süß und nach verschiedenen Gewürzen.
Review by Jonas Kofod
God men mangler kompleksitet om smagsstyrke. Rigtig fed puddersukker sødme. Good but lack some complexity and flavour intensity. Awesome powdered sugar kind of sweetness.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Also very sweet but a bit less fruity than the previous one. Still a light rum, would have loved a higher ABV.
Review by Skyfly
Interessante Note von Kaffee und ein wenig Kakao in der Nase. Auch im Gaumen schmeckt man den Kaffee neben Vanille, Holz- und Röstaromen. Er schmeckt ein klein wenig nachgesüßt, was sich jedoch in Grenzen hält. Alkohol gut eingebunden und nicht zu schwach. Für ein Einsteigertasting sehr gut geeignet
Review by MatzeHaHa
Sehr scharf im Abgang. Kann mit dem Projekt Five nicht mithalten und fällt merkbar ab. Für meinen Geschmack zu spritig.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Als Spiced Rum gar nicht verkehrt. Solider Grundstoff, dazu die gewünschten Kaffee-Aromen. Dann natürlich der für diese Art obligatorische, in meinen Augen unnötige Zucker. Wer gesüßten Rum und Kaffee mag, kann den gerne mal probieren…
Review by Business Liner Ralf
1 von 5 getestet aus der Old Man Reihe. Gibt sich gefällig, liegt etwas unter Premium aber für einen schönen Abend immer 👍
Review by Niko
Coffee and cocoa on the agenda... Simple but effective in the sweetness 🙂🙂
Review by Portman
Geruch und Geschmack ausgewogen, ausreichend komplex, vanillig, etwas blumig, mit dezenten dunklen Kakaonoten und ein wenig Kaffee. Guter Schluck!
Review by nick_nick1
Leicht alkoholischer Geruch aber angenehm. Etwas Schärfe, leichte Note von Bitterschokolade. Geschmacklich ganz nett. Wäre Ggf eine alternativ zur fruchtigen Rums
Review by rum_sk
It reminds me of Dictador but a little bit diluted in taste. 👃 is bit alcoholic but sweet and spicy. 👅 gives coffee, sweetness and brown sugar. As said reminds me of diluted dictador. Finish is medium long. Retaste: Spicy sweet piece. Although it really does remind me of dictador.
