Lemon Hart Blackpool Spiced

Nez; miel, tabac, vanille, cannelle et même de barbe-à-papa. Bouche; épicé et très semblable au nez avec finale douce sucrée. Rien de sophistiqué mais un rhum très dangereux tant il est facile à boire. Sans modération... il vous enverra au tapis... prenez garde!

Excellent rum, overall very tasty, good neat or as a mixer if you are looking for a high end cocktail. Very complex, crisp and tastes like rum. No hiding what it is, lots of potent ABV that is there but not overpowering. Nice mouth and finish with a prolonged amount of time to enjoy it after you send it to mingle with the other contents in your gut.

Lemon Hart automatically gets a 10 for every one of their rums, they are all different and have different uses. This is no exception, it is amazing on the rocks, or try it in a rum punch with lime , a bit of honey syrup and Elemakule Tiki bitters, or in a Cuba Libre. Demerara rums are the best in my opinion and this is another great one.

This rum has been on my wish list for so long that I just forgot about it until I saw it on the bottom shelf of a favorite liquor store when I was in there to buy something else. It also included a glass Tiki tumbler turned upside down on the neck. One side was the classic smiling Tiki face and the other said " I (heart) Rum" with an anchor placed into the middle of the heart. Of course the rhyme at the bottom was for Lemon Hart. Spending $30 for this rum with a nice Tiki glass was a no brainer. This glass holds 14 ounces, which is even more than my largest hurricane glass.

I let it breathe for 10 minutes as advised from other reviewers. The aroma can only be described as "seductive and floral" and the taste matched it. Only a slight burn at 86 proof, but this rum sipped neat is not for wimps. Yes, it is adulterated, but all spiced rums are adulterated. As long as they are spiced similar to how great chefs use their secret methods to achieve perfection, then this is perfectly fine. Adding a few ice cubes as others have suggested only improves the flavors while removing the slight burn.

Since this was a close contest with my top rated spiced rum of Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced Rum, I had no choice except to open one of those bottles that I had been saving for leaner times. Comparing side by side, this Lemon Hart Blackpool Spiced Rum now easily takes the top spot among the 21 spiced rums that I have rated so far. And no, the free Tiki glass had no bearing upon my rating.

After note: If you are stupid enough to drink a half bottle of this stuff in one night, then you deserve all of the bad results the next day like I did. I blame it on the high nutmeg content.

Also, since I had to reclassify my Blackwell's Reserve from a Black Rum to a Spiced Rum, that one is now my new favorite spiced rum. However, people of my age should stay the hell away from any spiced rums because of the really bad surprises the next day..

It reminds me the El Dorado 12 years which I gave an 8/10, but with a way too much present cheap vanilla flavour that completely ruins the taste for me. You must love vanilla to enjoy it. Much creamy than spicy. Really smooth though, not burning. It’s the only positive aspect of this rum.

Essence of fall on the nose with strong nutmeg. Vanilla forward with a sweet caramel after the vanilla and finishing with Allspice and a gentle warm heat. Overall very smooth. Drink on ice to break down the sugars.

This rum is surprisingly good, especially considering the price. It needs to be aired a bit before drinking, but then it’s really good. Vanilla, caramel and spice galore. Definitely worth the money.

Incredible smell of toffee and superior to The Kraken in my opnion.

This is my go-to weeknight rum, or 2nd drink rum. It is really smooth and complex but doesn’t break the bank.

I frequently find myself comparing some of the more expensive runs to this and in my opinion, many come up short.

I love turning friends into this little hidden gem. Everyone I’ve shared it with so far has loved it.

A lot of different flavours going on that mix really well with one another. I enjoy it on it’s own, in mixed drinks, and even in specific cocktails.
