Lugger Spiced

I was surprised by how sweet this was! I expected a heavier and spicier flavour due to the colour of rum but was instead overpowered by the sugar. Difficult to justify the price as although smooth, there isn't a whole lot going on underneath.

Thoughts: A decent entry but a bit overpowering on the spices but impressive entrant for an English rum. £38 for the bottle makes it a rum you really want to try or really like. The rich rum is very much lost in the spice which is a shame - tone it down a little and you could taste more of it and for longer. The more you drink of it, the more overpowering the spice is, shame.

Rating: 5/10

Smell - Strong orange peel smell, sweet, nutmeg
Taste - Mild burn, nutmeg, strong spiciness from cloves
After Taste - Medium length, dominated by spice with hints of orange

I would referred to this as a grown up kraken. Great lasting flavour with a pepper like after burn

Top spicy rum which comes in a nice bottle. One of my favourites

Now I love this rum and the bottle, it stands out! This rum if finely spiced with ginger, brown sugar and caramel notes I found. Very easy to sip, smooth and sweet.

Buy this if you like the smell and taste of mince pies

Loved this, hint of spice, not too harsh, great with a bit of ice.

Description- smells very cinnamon. Almost like the fire drink. Neat is not nice at all very spicy with no enough actual flavour. Much much better with mixer. So tastes and moreish. Couldn’t have much more than a couple of glasses

Favourite rum from Dorset. Tried it in a bar and bought a bottle from Lyme Regis.

Works well neat, over ice or mixed with a cola which really brings out the sweetness.
