Calypso Spiced

I usually buy Admiral Nelson. Our local store was out so I bought Calypso Spiced. I was pleasantly surprised. It's little week in the flavor category, but overall pretty decent.

Bought a 1.75 liter plastic bottle for $12 + tax last weekend as read some reviews on internet about great value spiced rums. I was not impressed but not too disappointed. In most instances you get what you pay for. This is one of those times. It really is not bad but don't expect to have found some hidden gem as far as sliced rums go. Not overly sweet which I like but also no real character or natural flavor or essence to it. Okay as a mixer. But not much more.

Not the worst but definitely not a good, spiced rum. Might be ok mixed with some sprite or ginger ale. I tried it straight like I do all just to get the taste. I don't think I will buy it again.

Picked up a bottle in Florida for an agreeable price. Not exactly bursting with flavour, but not much wrong with it. Great with coke and ice on a baking hot day.

This one hits with a lot of vanilla. Have used it mainly for mixing, not something I would normally drink straight. But considering I can get it for six dollars a liter, I’m not expecting a sipper. It does well in mixed drinks/rum and Coke’s. For mixing, at this low of a price, I feel it is perfectly acceptable and a good value.

Burn and sink me this be an odd rum! On the nose, she smells sweet and fruity like apples - of all things! On the tongue, she be a little tart. The apple taste still be there, but barely, and there also be a powerful grassy taste to her. Not having hooves, I could not fully appreciate the grassiness of this rum. There be no real spices to speak of - unless "pepper grass" be a thing. Might this be a sippin' rum? I say no, but you could probably do worse. To put it another way, "mooooooo"...

Do you like Captain? This is a slightly tastier and smoother version, and likely less expensive everywhere. Going to drink a few or more rum and cokes with a group? Bring this.

Sampled this rum after sampling Oakheart Spiced rum and found th3 flavours to b3 very similar. Not a bad rum but definitely a mixer.

Not very smooth, but a good bit of vanilla and sweetness to follow.

It's not horrible, better than Bacardi Gold or Oakheart.
