Kinsip Dark Waters Rum

Honey on the nose, butterscotch. Full bodied and can be shipped.

Char and oak. Caramel and butterscotch.

Kinsip Dark Waters Rum may have won me over with their label alone. How did they know that I can't resist an art deco inspired design? Their luxe heavy bottom bottle and nautical motif is certainly a compliment to their varied spirit collection.  Dark Waters Rum has an alluring, rich nose: Malted caramel with top notes of maple syrup and oak. To me, this drinks like a rye whisky. It has a familiar spicy rush with hints of brown sugar and cherry. While it isn't overly complex, it's smooth, full bodied and has a comforting breath of baking spices. Medium finish with the slightest stickiness like you've just licked a candy apple.  8.25/10
