Jonah's Curse Black Spiced

This is a poor choice for spiced rum. Harsh alcohol burn that they attempt to mask with strong spices. Not good for mixing and very bad for sipping. There are much better choices for either. See my other reviews for my recommendations. (1671, Bayou, etc)

I bought a bottle of this because it's on the spirits direct list at Total Wine and the reviews here were favorable.
This has to be the best inexpensive rum I've tasted / a nice surprise! Very prominent nose with some banana, vanilla, and caramel, and a little spiciness with a hint of molasses- sweet. Absolutely a pleasant rum - for the price ? Outstanding

For the price of 13$ I couldn't resist. If your getting a handle I suggest Blackheart. Same price and mixes better or get kraken.

Sweet caramel and vanilla flavor but has a bit of a alcohol bite.

Wonderful spice taste. Nice bit of bite. This makes a wonderful rum & Coke.

Great dark flavor, better than the Kraken but not as good as Goslings. Although anyone on a budget should choose Jonahs Curse over either two.

It's not bad by any means, tasting it straight to try and understand it. Tastes like vanilla, smells exactly like those bottled Starbucks Frappuccino drinks. Not bad but definitly artificial. Not my cup of tea.

Another good spiced rum, mixes well, wonderful aroma

I don't usually drink 'flavoured' rum, however this one looked intriguing, so I gave it a shot (or rather, drank a few shots;). Anyways... This rum has a mild and pleasant vanilla scent, along with a reddish brown colour. I found it too harsh to sip straight, although it tastes pretty good with ice and coke. From a flavour perspective, I found it has a bit of an artificial 'froot loops' taste...

A splash of water is all it takes to quell the bite and unlock this rum's smooth vanilla and caramel. I don't know about the aroma but it sure smells good!
