The Review:
Proving that you cannot judge a book by it's cover, Three
Palms Spiced rum exceeds itself.
Although it has an overall dominant aroma and taste of slightly
artificial vanilla and wood, it's actually quite mellow and
satisfying when mixed with coke.
On the rocks, it's
pretty harsh and definitely not recommended, but at under a 10
spot, don't be embarrassed to grab this bottle as it's perfectly
suitable for cheap mixed drinks at barbecues or the beach. Just
don't make a habit of it.
Make no mistake about it - This is not a premium rum nor does it
pretend to be. Three Plams Spiced rum aims to be an
outstanding and competitively priced mixing rum and that is
where it excels. For the price, I doubt its value could be
beaten.
As a twist,
I find that it works really well as an ingredient in food
as well as in cocktails. If you feel adventerous, try it
smashed into sweet potatoes with brown
sugar for a tasty and unique side dish. |
