Gold color. Aromas and flavors of circus peanuts, cotton candy, candied cinnamon, fruit cake, and toffee, and caramel nougat with a round, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a medium-length finish that presents impressions of spiced maple cookies, vanilla and caramel nougat, circus peanuts, nutmeg, black pepper, and and clove. Spiced nuts and pastry dough abound for a nice shooter or mixer with Cola.

Spiced rum is a type of flavored rum that incorporates a variety of spice flavors. In the past, major industrial examples of spiced rum utilized a myriad of added flavor compounds, sugar and coloring. Today, many craft and high-quality examples are using more natural production methods, whole spice maceration, and a base of high-quality aged rum. Spices used may include ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, cardamom, orange peel, bay, vanilla and more. This style of rum is typically best in mixed drinks, as a flavorful shooter or used as a versatile cocktail ingredient.
