Dark Matter Spiced

I just love this rum. It has a very strong flavour base and is not for the faint hearted.

Took a while to get my hands on a bottle of Dark Matter and, unfortunately, the reward was sadly lacking. The shop told me that it was a little taste of Christmas and I understand what he means. It tastes incredibly harsh with undertones of cloves and spices. A real sipper. Maybe save for a couple of glasses at Christmas.

Strong hints of cinnamon, cloves and spices. Very reminiscent of Christmas spices and mulled wines and spirits. I bought mine with Christmas in mind. Not best on its own , but with as the basis of the cocktail "Old Fashioned" with burnt orange it is very drinkable and more-ish, but not the next day!

A very unique tasting rum. First you get a strong cloves smell/taste, but then when you swallow you get a big after taste of spicy pepper, there is no alcohol burn but you do get a warm tingle on the tongue from the spices afterwards.
