Got a bottle of Alnwick spiced Rum recently, and wouldn't buy again. Found it quite harsh, one to have with a mixer, I think.
Have an absolute craving for spiced rum lately after trying some at a party a few months ago
...Snip...
Looking to spend anything from £15 up to £50 at a push.
Of the ones I've tried:
Chairmans Reserve is my current favourite, and is £21 in Waitrose at the moment, nice orange notes.
Rumbullion is always good, strong vanilla flavour.
Plantation Pineapple Rum I had once after a meal and wasn't impressed - far, far too sweet on it's own but might work in a cocktail or with a mixer, or maybe a big dash of bitters to calm it down.
Buying the sample bottles, or finding a pub with a good rum selection is an excellent start - once you have an idea of what you like the knowledgable folks on here can probably make some further recommendations
