Deadhead Rum

Wow was this rum bad. I bought it for the bottle, I admit. But as someone who owns a tiki bar and has sampled more than my fair share of rums (my current favorite for sipping, El Dorado 21 yr), I would say the tasting notes are closer to Everclear than they are to caramel or cocoa. It tasted like a neutral spirit with a bit of sugar. Perhaps I can use this as a mixer, but honestly, I have tasted better rums used in "well drinks." The bottle is cool though.

First, my sense of smell is very weak. On the nose, all I get is vanilla & caramel. On the palate, oak and s Bourbon bite. Which is great if you're drinking Bourbon. The finish to me is more like a Bourbon. I really wanted to like this one more, because the owners are friends. A 2-star mixing rum.

It has strong punch the first sip. But smooths out with coffee, allspice chocolate, and nutmeg flavors. But goes down smooth.

I really like this one. It’s unique, with some very different spices going on. The bottle looks badass on your bar too!

I’ll be honest, I got it for the bottle. The rum was marginally drinkable in mixed drinks.

I taste more caramel and spice than hogo, but really smooth and tasty rum.
