My favorite rum by far. Not too spiced, but wonderfully complex!

Starting from the bottle and the name both are great. The return shot glass from the bottom of the bottle. Neat idea. Will work on getting a collection. The aroma, taste, spice and smoothness are the best I have had.

Great barrel aged spiced rum that can be sipped straight.

You see above my linen closet personal alcohol shelf - our family liquor cabinet is downstairs. As you can see I have very eclectic tastes in my alcoholic beverages. My favorites right now is the apple brandy on the far left, from Shinn Estate Vineyards, superb as an aged cognac, the Monkey Spiced Rum, and Dorothy Parker Gin (no juniper berries but very herbal), all for straight sipping.

So my local liquor store provider, who actually introduced me to this spiced rum, told me they are discontinuing making it. I haven't purchased any since before the Pandemic, but I certainly hope this is NOT true!

Monkey is my FAVORITE spiced rum.

I have been drinking for over 50 years, and spiced rum is one of the many alcoholic drinks I truly enjoy straight to sip, along with excellent brandy or cognac, double chocolate vodka, and a few others. I used to drink Captain Morgan and have tried Cruzan and Sailor Jerry, and to me, those don't compare to my enjoyment of Monkey Spiced Rum.

It's color is rich, aroma not overpowering but spicy enough, its taste is full bodied but not too strong (as I find Captain Morgan to be), finish is smooth and the spices are balanced.

I have not tasted any other spiced rums other than the ones mentioned above, but to me, this is the best spiced rum, not to strongly tasting of alcohol, smooth and perfectly spiced. It also happens to have less sugar, which is a plus in my book!

Zane Lamprey's foray into a premium distilled spirit is no disappointment. I love how smooth the spiced rum is with a very welcome hint of vanilla and spices. I normally enjoy spiced rums with diet coke, but this one has so much flavor and character, I enjoy it on the rocks. You really must try this one.

this is a very smooth rum and a tasty ingredient to any recipe calling out spiced rum. it has a distinctive taste that carries vanilla and a hint of jack Daniels because of its storage in the aging process. definitely will be your "go to" rum for the summer! winter too...

I'd love to know the spices in this delicious sipping rum, but I'm sure the competition would too. It's smooth and tasty, would mix well, but tastes great neat. The up cycle your bottle into a nice glass is nifty, but that gimmick doesnโ€™t detract from this excellent choice, and neither should the low cost

First off let me be upfront...I wouldn't know Zane Lamprey if he _____[fill in your own "I wouldn't know" punchline here]_____ but dadgummit, this is a very, very good spiced rum he's selling.

First off the color is beautiful golden brown. And it has a wonderful aroma both from the bottle and in the snifter. I once again admit that I cannot adequately describe aromas but I can tell you that I really like this one.

Now apparently from what I've read the rum itself originates from Angostura in Trinidad and is aged two to three years in oak, filtered a bit and then blended with natural spices. The result is a delightful, well-balanced spiced rum. Surpisingly it does not taste overly sweet like a lot of cheaper spiced rums nor does it have an artificial chemical aftertaste. Immediately I detected coconut...real coconut along with a butteriness. There are other flavors subtly in the background. Kind of a vanilla/toffee thing going.

And it's quite smooth. Has a little burn to it that is nice and leads to a coconut finish. This is a remarkable spiced rum worthy of kicking back and sipping on its own. And of course it is most worthy of mixing in cocktails for a truly well-rounded adult beverage.

I have only two spiced rums that I'm willing to give a "9" rating (Siesta Key Spiced Rum and Old New Orleans Cajun Spiced Rum) so this makes the third.

Excellent job, Mr. Lamprey.

First, I've been a fan of Zane Lampe for a long time and was super excited to find out he was releasing rum. It's been valuable for a while but only very recently available to ship to Ohio. I bought a bottle of both the Spiced and coconut rum. They were $23.99/ea. plus shipping, so around $30/ea. The Spiced has a very nice aroma, sweet with hints of vanilla and oak. Not an overpowering alcohol scent, overall very pleasant. Took a sip and it is quite sweet with a lot of vanilla coming out and a hint of coconut. Not as sweet as some other rums I've had but overall very good. Mixed with some coke zero and lime ages for a great cocktail. I will try a modified mojito soon.
