Takamaka Dark Spiced
Opinions here split hard: several people find it a good, fruity mixer for cola and cocktails, while a few call it undrinkable neat. The common thread is sweet vanilla, cinnamon and papaya, with tropical fruit and a bit of grass underneath. Made with flavor essences, it reads more like a spiced dessert pour than a classic rum. Best in a glass with cola, not on its own.
The community says- Good in cola

Aggregated from 36 community reviews.
Sweet spiced mixer, better in cola than neat Most see it as a fruity, cinnamon-and-vanilla mixer that shines in cola and cocktails. Sipped neat it divides sharply, with several finding it too sweet or artificial.

Takamaka für die Cola, da passt er gut. Pur nicht meiner
Review by heckto🥃
Die Nase wird von tropischen Früchten begrüßt. Ein sehr süßer Rum mit Noten von Karamell, Vanille und Früchten (Papaya, Aprikose). Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist gut aber er ist eher für Cocktails als für den puren Genuss geeignet.

Zum Mischen, fruchtig, bananig.
Review by DutchRumPirate
For a dark spiced rum I like this one. Sweet on the nose with vanille, dry fruits and cinnamon. In the mouth a lot of vanille and cinnamon but for a spiced not to dominant. This one is for me mainly for the cocktail and coke.

Geht pur für mich leider nicht.
Review by Oli Dekrell
Cinnamony nose & palate. Delicious on its own, but certainly also in fruit cocktails
