Chic Choc Spiced Rum

Épices bien relevées.

Overall: Sweet, herbal & spicy. Good take on a spiced rum, nice play with the botanicals & spices. Pleasant mouthfeel with layered flavors. The rum juggles between being an herbal & gin-like spiced rum to more of a fruity baking spices one. Although it does so elegantly. Mostly for cocktails with a mixer such as ginger.

very light and sweet but easy to drink

Distiller notes say it well. Peppery with rich brown sugar/maple syrup as well as baking spices and a hint of gin botanicals. Not your average spiced rum, in a good way. $32 in Ontario.
