a decent spiced rum

[Bill Poster]

I have never tried Four Square, which i think is spiced. Any recommendations?

[Jason Perlow]

Foursquare is nice, as is Cruzan.

[Ed Hamilton]

Foursquare is one of the only spiced rums I've drunk which isn't sweetened with sugar cane syrup which lets the rum and spice speak for themselves.

On the other hand, Cruzan is one of the few spiced rums made with aged rum, 2 years, which makes a serious difference in a molasses-based spiced rum.

Sailor Jerry is also spiced, isn't it?

[Ed Hamilton]

Sailor Jerry is also spiced.

so when i run the "types" list of spiced rums, i show about 22..

are they all crap except these 3 you have mentioned?

as a rum "noob", i admit i like the spice aspect of Captain Morgan (Private Stock is better) and Bacardi Spice, but when i taste some of the better rums, i can tell how much better they are... but i miss the "spice" aspect sometimes...

[elixirofthetropics]

Of the spiced rums I've tried, I would recommend Sailor Jerry. I've not tried Four Square or Bacardi Spice but will once I find them. Captain Morgan, for me, is borderline recommendable/not recommendable.

Seems like I'm the only one that finds Sailor Jerry'difficult' to drink! hmm..

i can't help thinking one or two of the expensive rums(mention no names) have been spiced to bolster the flavour.

*sigh*

guess I'll just have to try them ALL!!!

[Ed Hamilton]

You might be surprised to know that rum distillers can legally add flavorings to there spirits, spices are only one common ingredient. Some of the more common flavorings are orange, raisins and raisins, chocolate and coffee are also used in some countries.

i have not liked any of the flavored rums i have tried other than spiced... mango, pineapple, even peach...

not a big fan of coconut rum, either... makes me think i am drinking coppertone or something....

picked up a bottle this weekend... whoa... it is certainly potent... but at 92 Proof, i guess i should have expected that...

after i got over that initial

i settled in and enjoyed it....

A fellow came into the bar and said "give me a good spiced rum", and I replied "Please make up your mind".

Try some Cruzan Estate Dark Run also,

2yr, 5yr Diamond Estate, and the Single Barrel.

Very Good, IMHO if you like a Spiced Rum.
