Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of lime and licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, elderflower, and sassafras tea with honey red pepper syrup with a round, dryish medium body and a medium finish evoking notes of red apple, root beer, elderflower syrup, and orange gummy slices. Acts as the perfect base for a fruity and spicy Rum and coke.

Spiced rum is a type of flavored rum that incorporates a variety of spice flavors. In the past, major industrial examples of spiced rum utilized a myriad of added flavor compounds, sugar and coloring. Today, many craft and high-quality examples are using more natural production methods, whole spice maceration, and a base of high-quality aged rum. Spices used may include ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, cardamom, orange peel, bay, vanilla and more. This style of rum is typically best in mixed drinks, as a flavorful shooter or used as a versatile cocktail ingredient.
