I was pleasantly surprised to find this rum today, Bayou spiced is one of my favorite rums. I have enjoyed everything that the Bayou company has put out so far, and this one is no exception. For a little less than twice the price of the regular Bayou you get a very smooth flavorful sipping rum. I do find this one to be more of a classic rum flavor than the regular spiced Bayou, but don't let that fool you, this rum tastes better than anything else at this price point. This reminds me of a rum I bought in Costa Rica, Ron Centenario Anejo Especial. Great rum to sip on in the winter.

One of the best I've ever had. Not at all harsh with a lovely rum taste. I drink it neat. Jack Sparrow would definitely ask "But why is the rum gone!?" with this Lousiana rum. It's gone because I drank it!!

I’m also a bourbon drinker so when I found this one I was excited. It’s an excellent rum.

Boy, what a find! I enjoy rum & bourbon and this is two in one. Aged in oak barrels, it is definitely flavourful and perfect for when you can't decide between the two spirits.

Zapach: Melasa, wanilia, beczka, cukierki kukułki. Zapach jest średnio intensywny ale przyjemny.

Smak: Cukierki kukułka, karmel, melasa, nuty ananasa, trochę kakao. Cały czas towarzyszy nam wyraźna słodycz a także rozgrzewający Alkohol.

Mimo braku deklaracji wieku Rum nie sprawia wrażenia młodego, ale zakładam że nie leżakował zbyt długo. Ewidentnie jest to trunek jakościowy, użyto do jego maturacji dobrej jakości beczek Nie jest to też rum przesadzony bądź sztuczny - a tego się trochę obawiałem. Jako nabywcy otrzymujemy produkt dorosły, graficznie ciekawie zapakowany który śmiało można spożywać solo.

Niestety ma też minusy - jak to stany zjednoczone Ameryki mają w zwyczaju całość wieńczy sztuczny gumowy korek (ale to pierdoła - czepiam się). Największym moim zdaniem problemem jest wyraźny posmak alkoholu po przełknięciu. Cena jaką zapłaciłem w Makro - Około 90pln uważam za dobrze dobraną i nie przesadzoną.

Ocena: 79/100

I think I read this is aged 5 years. If I'm right, this is great for a 5 yr rum. Love the taste. Not too much burn

I've been drinking a lot this, because like many I'm on pandemic budget at the moment and while it usually goes for around $27-$30 a bottle, a liquor store close to me has been getting special buys and selling it $15. Could clean rum. Let sit and breath a little, brings out caramel finish. It might could use a little more aging. Barely edges out the spiced as my favorite everyday big glass filler.

Un très bel équilibre, puissant malgré ses 40% sans être agressif. Le nez rappelle la Jamaïque 🇯🇲 tandis qu’en bouche on pense à un Rhum de Guadeloupe 🇬🇵 c’est super !
