Delicious to mix with cola, but beyond that mediocre at most.
Review by rum_sk
One of the first ,,better rums,, I have tasted around 7-8 years ago. This is a reminder but I still have a fond memories of trying this one out at wedding. It was well balanced not too sweet, not too spicy eventhough this is a spiced rum. It is not available anymore, at least not under Oakheart brand.

To mix with cola as Cuba Libre very pleasant.Pur rather not my case
Review by MarcT
Better than the Papa...
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Sehr butterig in der Nase, haarscharf an 'überladen' dran und kurz vor'm Likör. Dennoch überraschend angenehm und weit weg von Gedöns wie Don Papa. Pur weniger süß als erwartet. Enorm viel Vanille, aber die likörige Pappigkeit bleibt aus. Stattdessen fügt sich ab der Mitte eine stark geröstete Note ein. Mag ich. In Sachen Spiced dürfte das auch preislich die Benchmark sein dass die Kategorie kein Totalausfall sein muss.

great with coca cola
Review by Kay Meertens
Vanila sugar, orange, banana. Rather sharp, but drinkable.
Review by Daniel
Künstliche Noten und intensive, auch interessante Aromen an Nase und Gaumen dadurch, dass er „Spiced“ ist. Im Abgang leicht rauchig. Jedenfalls nicht langweilig.

Zoet houterig maat wat te bitter
Review by Solidfunk
Nutmeg, smoky oak and vanilla. More interesting than I expected. Copper pour. A little sticky honey. Ok. Cleaning out my parent's liquor cabinet.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It is smooth but you can tell that this is more the amount of added sugar and flavourings than any decent time in "Oak". I feel Bacardi have tried to pull the wool a little with this one. It isn't smooth due to time in small white oak barrels its..."Read full review →
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"Even for the category of spiced spirit drinks this is terrible. There is literally no taste of any alcohol whatsoever. There are so many better options, the sweet vanilla notes are rather monotone and the 35% do the rest to kill isz"
