Black Magic Black Spiced

Le bateau noir .....................................

Got this really cheap in Florida and drank all of it with Pepsi and lots of ice in the baking heat. Half decent, poor man's Kraken.

Good fo coctails, but in my opinikn too spacy to drink directly

This is an incredibly easy to drink beverage.

Delicious flavour with quite a creamy experience. I oft compare it to a chocolatey liqueur. So if you know someone who like chocolate then they will be sure to enjoy this.

This will definitely be one I pick up again in the future.

Neat with no ice.
Not a bad rum. Doesn't have the aroma of a rum to drink neat but tastewise it isn't too bad. Strong maple syrup/brown sugar aromas. Getting a nice cherry flavour from it and some pepper kicks around the mouth, but overall very smooth drinking.

I will admit that I am not a spiced rum drinker. I pick a bottle up in FLA. First impressions were that it was VERY sweet. I kind of abandoned the bottle. A few years later, I decided to try again. Not bad, but still too sweet for me. Vanilla is overwhelming as well. I think I will save this for some house party...somewhere.

Very similar to Kraken but even sweeter. Great mixer, nice flavor... so much sugar.

I'll stick to kraken I think.

A good competitor to Kraken, very moorish, very reasonably priced

Honestly I’d have to do a side by side to taste the difference, but this is essentially Kraken. A supposed black strap molasses rum, that is sweet, smooth and syrupy. However the artificial flavors of vanilla, and the obvious Carmel coloring and strong post-distillation sugar make me wonder how much of this magic is meant to cover up a mediocre rum at best. I’d assume that hangovers are in store for repeat offenders of this dark rum. I’ve definitely had worse but that’s not in any way a recommendation. Unless you’re looking for a sugar coma steer clear.

If you like sweet spiced rums, then this one is very easy to drink and has lots of flavour
