Brewdog Distilling Co. 500 Cuts Hand Made Spiced
People land all over the place on this one. Fans call it a spice bomb — cinnamon, clove and orange like a knocked-over mulled-wine stall — while others say the base rum vanishes and it reads artificial or "simply tastes of whiskey." Very much a Christmas-and-winter pour. Great in a Cuba Libre or with vermouth; a lot of tasters find it too intense to drink neat.
The community says- Big spice hit
- Great in cola
- Tastes artificial

The look inside the bottle
How does Brewdog Distilling Co. 500 Cuts Hand Made Spiced taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Intense cinnamon-orange spiced rum for mixing Divisive. Spice lovers get a big cinnamon-orange hit that shines in cola or cocktails; skeptics find it artificial with the rum buried under seasoning. Not one for neat sipping.

Review by Niko
Probablement le Spiced le plus intéressant pour moi. Feu d'artifice d'épices ! Marche très bien en Cuba Libre ! 🙂🙂
Review by Christoph
Absolute Gewürzbombe die an Kuchen mit Früchten erinnert.
Review by Dirk
Für mich ein interessanter Rum, aber nur für die Weihnachtszeit und Winterzeit. Sehr intensive Gewūrzaromen, welche für 14 Stunden in diesem Rum eingelegt werden.
Review by Jack M
A good run for a beer company.

Simply tastes of whiskey, no discerning flavours, not a fan
Review by Schnapsschuesse
'Spiced' trifft's perfekt. Riecht wie ein Unfall in der Glühweinbude - alle Bottiche samt Rumpunschpullen umgekippt. Klasse! Pur ist mir das dann doch zu krass. Vom Basisrum merkt man nichts mehr, dafür alle Gewürze. Dürfte fantastisch mit Wermut funktionieren - aber wer den pur trinkt steht auch als Letzter noch auf'm Weihnachtsmarkt und macht den Kessel leer.

Nur zum mischen geeignet, wenn überhaupt
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh well, I was really looking forward to this rum based on the reviews. But unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. It tastes too much like Christmas and orange for me. Unfortunately worse than expected.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Similar to Don Papa, for example, this spiced rum only tastes like artificial flavorings, not a bit like rum. I can't drink it neat. I mixed a tiny cable car with the rest of the sample, also disgusting.

Nach don papa und damit leider nicht mein Geschmack

Very tasty spiced rum. Aromatic in the direction of Falernum. But less sweet
