The Salford Rum Company Spiced

Have tried several spiced rums from smaller U.K. distilleries, this is definitely up there. Nice colour and smell, does feel very artificially sweet at times, but a has a great flavour. Would recommend to to anyone looking for a U.K. rum. Bottle is a belter as well

On the nose this spiced rum by The Salford Rum Company smells predominantly of orange to me. Drank neat your taste buds are treated to a combination of sweetness from the vanilla, and zing from the dried fruit, resulting in a taste that is both moreish and refreshing. The alcohol burn is negligible and it’s in the aftertaste where you experience a mild (at best) warming sensation from the spices. When mixed with Coca-Cola, I’d say this rum is even more delicious. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very drinkable neat on the rocks. It’s just that when combined with coke, this rum becomes even more sweeter, and even more refreshing. Perfect for me and my sweet tooth.

First impression was Ok - tasty enough, interesting. But after several sips the taste disassembled to Vanilla-only

Vanilla, spices and carribean fruits. A easy drink on a summers evening

Lovely spiced rum that has a mixture of notes. For the price I would highly recommend especially for the bottle design. Can be drank neat over ice or with a mixer.

A friend from Salford introduced me to this rum. Of course he thinks it's the best thing sinced slice bread so I tasted it expecting it to be another basic rum in a fancy bottle. However, upon trying it I found that it's quite different from other rums I've tried. It's more mature and aromatic on the pallet which I quite enjoyed. If you like your sweeter, citrus rums, this one is not for you. However of you want a different experience I would recognize it.

It's inexpensive and inoffensive. Just not something to write home about

Dark lush colour. Sweet, aniseed, nutmeg, cocoa and molasses aroma. All promise something that the taste can't quite reach. The taste is smooth, sweet, but not overly so. A subtle fleeting hint of that nutmeg and cocoa, but it's gone as soon as it's there leaving just a little bit of dryness behind. Good for big gulps on ice, but doubt it will be able to stand it's ground mixed.

Got a dram of this in the advent calendar. A little dark for me but nicely spiced.

On the nose there is orange zest, Oreos, chocolate, brown sugar and toffee. Brownies, maple syrup and warm spices.

On the palate there is chocolate milk, cloves, cinnamon and caramel. Angelica root, cacao nibs, liquorice and vanilla. Finish is short to medium with some spicy charred wood and toffee.

Not a bad spiced rum, but not my favourite.
