Cockspur Fine Rum Review


I stumbled upon this at the liquor store and it got a few good reviews. I was actually shocked at how good this tasted for being so cheap (got it for $5.99).

Smell

Brown Sugar
Nutmeg
Almond

Almost like any decent dark or fine rum you'd find. It was actually pleasant.

Tasting notes

Going in smooth. Really great aroma and feel. Bits of a nice kind of caramel ish flavor going down. You can definitely taste a bit of oak. It reminds me of Appleton Estate but just two notches down in quality (acceptable due to the price).

Overall - I'd have to give this roughly a B-. I can sip this if I wanted to on ice, but I'd much rather make a cocktail out of it. It's pretty smooth, but not overly smooth to where I can just sip this all day long. Some ice and a splash of cranberry juice makes this a very pleasant drink.

In fact, I posted last night my Spur of the Moment Cocktail. Go check that out!
