Spiced Rum Recommendation

[NeverWinter]

As title, for someone who like Kraken, something a little bit nicer perhaps? Up to £35/40

Thanks

money and quality of spirit isn't directly related.

i would just get him kraken tbh if that is what he likes.

i like vodka and whenever anyone asks me i tell them russian standard. grey goose, ciroc, crystal skull are all gimmicks IMO. the power of marketing.

Whilst I agree with this (and when it comes to vodka this is more true), sometimes money does talk. I like Jim Beam as a bourbon however James E Pepper 1776 is a far nicer drink.

I've found they do a 47% Kraken which could be a good call...

Rumbullion is a good buy. A bit sweeter than Kraken but has more flavour.

That's another that caught my eye.

Big fan of spiced rum, got quite a collection now too!

Kraken is somewhere in the middle between the sweeter/spicier and more rummy (for lack of a better word) rums.

There's a load that's readily available at the moment in most of the big supermarkets, all ranging across the spectrum. some I'd recommend checking out are:

Captain Morgan's Spiced Gold
Red Leg Spiced
Rumbullion
Old Spiced J
Sailor Jerrys
Bacardi Oakheart

If you're after something a lil more difficult to get but worth it, check out these:

Ron de Jeremy Spiced
Pink Pigeon
Westrock spiced
Pussers Spiced and Pussers old navy Grog

And if you're looking to splash out on an awesome bottle of something special (50 Quid):

Captian Morgans 1671 Commerative blend

Thanks for those!

My vote would be for Plantation 20th Anniversary, either that or the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.

Yeah someone I used to work with raved about Diplomatico.

Bought this from Aldi, £15 only had a sip yesterday to try, quite a strong treacle taste.
