Kirkland Spiced

Just had a Dark and Stormy head to head with Lemon Heart Blackpool Spiced. This came second. Not offensive in any way. It's only negative was being too mild in aroma and flavor. It came across more like a decent 3-5 year unspiced than anything else. Certainly drier than the Demerara sweetness of the Blackpool. Given the proof and the price it owes no apology.

Why did I get it? Cause I didn't know better. What the heck do I mix it with?

Seems like this rum used a Costco sized serving of artificial flavors. Can't knock them too much for it because it says so on the label. I found it to be pleasant but with a lingering unnatural vanilla syrup aftertaste. The price and presentation is right for large parties. Would explore other brands for my personal use.

Du rhum de chez Costco. Oh boy! Là je reconnais mon père grateux. J'ai demandé au paternel d'y goûter. En prenant la bouteille, c'est à ce moment que je réalise que c'est du rhum épicé. Je prends mon courage à deux mains et j'y goûte à sec. Malgré des attentes minimales, la gorgée à bien passée. Il y a bien sûr beaucoup trop de sucre, mais il est acceptable pour être mélangé avec du cola. Pour ceux dont le prix est une variable importante, pourquoi pas considérer ce rhum.

This is one of the best mixer rum deals out there. If I'm having an outdoor party this rum is on the list but if I'm mixing alone, Sailor Jerry is my spiced rum.

This is not one I can sip, but it is great in cocktails. Nice vanilla flavor in cola or root beer. And it's cheap.

A cheap spiced rum with a better than average taste. Good for parties where you need larger amounts. For a rum from Costco, not too bad but not a high end rum. Huge bottle and cheap.

Very strong on the vanilla but at 92 proof it's not bad to have in your cabinet for nights with the kind of company that you want to get a little rowdy with.
I received this as a Christmas present and the aforementioned strength of the vanilla make this pretty compatible with eggnog.

Looks good. Smells good. Have only mixed it, but it sure worked in eggnog. Tasted super sweet with ginger too.

I had rum on my OneNote list ostensibly to make a kind of Venetian carnevale cookie, so when I saw 1.75 liters at my local Costco for $14+, I was giddy-guilty and bought it anyway. The first drink I made was a hot toddy, and I was impressed even with the addition of honey. For some reason, my Cuba Libre now sitting nearly quaffed away at my laptop's side is almost too sweet to take. I agree with the poster who said he'd most likely not replace this, but my Scottish side will not allow me to waste it. Still haven't made those cookies...
