Bombarda Revenge

This is probably the first spiced rum I could actually sip on, I’m not sure if I’d want to on a regular basis… but at least I could if I wanted to.

It’s definitely a nice balance of traditional funk and spices, which aren’t overwhelming. I get a lot of vanilla finish, a little too much for me be likely nice when mixed.

It’s aged 3 yrs, which mellows it out nicely, a lot more than typical spiced rums. I think worth a taste if you want to try a “good” spiced rum, it’s not terrible for sure

I don't generally prefer spiced rums but this one is quite drinkable. The flavors are good, generally smooth, with a nice finish.

Fun from beginning to end… it has funk, you get spices, it’s an all around great spiced rum.

Jamaican origin, has the right funk for a jamaican rum, spiced flavor is toned down, finish has no burn. Not overly sweet not syrupy. Doesn’t taste artificial like most spiced rums.

Very interesting flavor that might go well in a tiki drink, but not neat.

Lots of spice maybe too much. Although I like Jamaican rums.

I can imagine all of the unique character of this rum disappearing in any rum drink; and I can imagine this rum improving the flavor of the drink. It has enough bite to be noticeable, and enough complexity to draw-out fruity or cola flavors so they area little brighter. On the other hand, it would seem to clash with the mintyness of a mojito. Beyond mixing, it makes a pretty good sipper. The finish is a bit astringent, but the rest of the flavors beg one to concentrate on them as the rum is sipped. I found myself poking around through the complex mix as it swirled across my tongue. It would not be ignored and just swallowed. I would buy this one.
