With the exception of caroni , foursquare and hampden , im just not a rum fan. I find it overly sweet or artificial. But i needed to but a spiced rum today to make some french apple cake. Bought this one for $25, just because it seems to be infused with natural spices rather than artificial ones. Taste is not bad…but not something i’d notmally buy. Sweet. Some vanilla and cloves. But seems to be made for cocktails and mixers, not drinking neat. But…the cake was incredible!
