Rumbullion Spiced

Not at all my thing. Way too strongly spiced and excessively sweet. It’s more like a liqueur than a rum. It takes like liquid Christmas pudding, but with a nasty and dominating orange rind flavour. I can only drink this with a hefty dousing of dry ginger which kinda defeats the point of an $80 (Aussie) rum. Ugghh

Chutna jak tatra tea, je to sirup proti kasli, lekarnicky rum

Previosuly tried the 15 year, that is one of my all time favourites.

Tried this one at a bar, either I had a dodgy bottle but it tasted like a surgary cough medicine. I let it sit for a good 10mins but no improvement.

For mange sikkert en udemærket rom, for mig gjorde den lige det modsatte. Krydderet og smagte af jul, ikke min smag

I recently bought a bottle of Rumbullion for my birthday. Myself and my partner love quality rum and whiskey. We treat ourselves every now and then, and are always so pleased to find a delicious new brand. Jura, Talisker and Kraken are consistent favourites. Last year we bought a Highland Park whiskey which was overpowered by vanilla and unfortunately Rumbullion rum suffers the same fate but to an even more disappointing extent. We are not opposed to vanilla and Kraken has the perfect balance. The vanilla in the Rumbullion was strongly overpowering in the initial drinking and hugely drowned the other nuances. It then remained as an aftertaste for over twenty minutes by which time it had become very distasteful. I am uncertain as to whether this is only an aberration in the quality process or is a deliberate character of the rum. If it is the latter then the question is why overbalance the vanilla to the detriment of the the other flavours? It felt like it would have been an amazing rum had the vanilla been downplayed and this is a great shame for a lot of drinkers who would otherwise come back time and again to buy another bottle of Rumbullion. I even put a splash in my tea like my mother used to but even the tea did not quieten down the vanilla flavour and was poured away.

Tasted like Southern Comfort. I was expecting alot more from this given it's 7.9 rating. Will not be getting this one again

This is my first venture into the world of spiced rums so here goes.

If you like over sweeteen rums that taste heavy on cinnamon and cloves you are in luck.

Its a touch to over powering for me on the flavours mentioned above on its own.

Perhaps with a mixer it might take the edge off this drink and transform into something wonderful. Or maybe not.

Vůně: Žvýkačka
Chuť: Žvýkačka s badyánem, skořicí, vanilkou
Dochuť: Žvýkačka s lehkou nahořklostí
Pro mne horší než Don Papa a to je co říct!

Smagt til romhattens romfestival 2019. Den får en 2'er.

Very disappointed with this one, was not enjoyable at all
