Nose - nutmeg, egg nog, vanilla, cinnamon butter, molasses, toasted almond, treacle, butterscotch, frosted wheat, honey, clove, anise, candied citrus, mild ethanol burn. Taste - nutmeg, cinnamon, honey, toasted almond, toffee, floral tea, molasses, vanilla, ginger, dried red fruit, coffee, oat, clove, mild alcohol bite, finishing medium length with baking spice, honey, and toffee flavors. This is easily the best of the spiced rums I’ve tried. In fact, it’s the only one I could imagine drinking neat and not being disappointed. That isn’t to say it’s phenomenal, but rather it’s just not actively off-putting. The nose is really nice for a spiced rum. Strong baking spices leap from the glass, which are reminiscent of a boozy homemade egg nog. There’s sweet molasses, honey, and some oaty, grainy note which makes me think of Frosted Wheat cereal or toasted bread with some melted butter and cinnamon slathered on top. The palate isn’t quite as good as the nose, as it certainly tastes young and underproofed. Still, the baking spices are very present and are accompanied by nice toasted almond, toffee, and tea notes. Not a masterpiece, but rather pleasant indeed. Overall, if your bar needs a spiced rum, I think this is the one to buy, although I’m absolutely open other suggestions. I know first hand that it mixes well with Coke, but I’m sure it’s very versatile as well. The best part is the price: it’s $14 near me, which makes it the cheapest of all spiced rums I’ve reviewed. Foursquare is easily my favorite rum producer thus far, and they have yet another winner with this offering.
