Spirits of Old Man Rum Project Three Dark Expression
Coffee and cocoa lead here, wrapped in vanilla, caramel and a clear sweet edge — a few tasters compare it to a diluted Dictador. Members find it soft, easy and a bit sweetened, with several noting the body reads thin and the finish comes up short. Roasty and dessert-like, it works best as an unfussy after-dinner sipper rather than a rum you'll dig into.
The community says- Coffee and cocoa
- Easy to drink
- Keep in mind: Added sugar

How does Spirits of Old Man Rum Project Three Dark Expression taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, easy coffee-and-chocolate sipper Most find it a pleasant, sweet coffee-and-chocolate sipper. The common gripe: it's mild, a little thin, and light on complexity, with some wanting more punch than 40% gives.

I hate coffe, hence the low score, coffe drinkers will probably enjoy this
Review by Stefan Persson
Blend of 8-10 yo rum from different places in the Caribbean and South America. The significant aromas and flavors is coffee, vanilla and caramel. It’s also well balanced but the finish is unfortunately rather short.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.02-08.02.2026 Retasting at The Village in Nürnberg and I still don't like it that much. A very sweet rum. ----------- Also very sweet but a bit less fruity than the previous one. Still a light rum, would have loved a higher ABV.
Review by Timo Groeger
This rum is really quite a nice sipper. Nothing special, but quite good. The nose consists mainly of caramel, coffee and vanilla. On the palate then also a pleasant sweetness, vanilla, chocolate, caramel and coffee here.
Review by Tim
Surprisingly good on the nose, the roasty notes such as coffee or cocoa are program, rounded off by sweet caramel. In the mouth very unspectacular mild and thin. There is nothing new really, the main flavors run through from start to finish. Compared to the other projects, a pleasant change.
Review by Rumpalumpa
im Gegensatz zu den anderen Old man Abfüllungen scheint hier ein zwar gesüßter aber sonst eher natürlicher Rum vorzuliegen. riecht zimtig und schokoladig. Schmeckt süß und nach verschiedenen Gewürzen.
Review by Bastien Champain
Smells and tastes of vanilla coffee 15.5/20
Review by Skyfly
Interesting note of coffee and a little cocoa on the nose. Also on the palate you taste the coffee alongside vanilla, wood and roasted aromas. It tastes a little sweetened, but within limits. Alcohol well integrated and not too weak. Very suitable for an introductory tasting.
Review by Lukas Jäger
As a spiced rum, not bad at all. Solid base, plus the desired coffee aromas. Then of course the obligatory, in my eyes unnecessary sugar for this type. If you like sweetened rum and coffee, you can definitely try this one…

Review by Business Liner Ralf
Tested 1 out of 5 from the Old Man series. It's pleasing, a bit below premium but always good for a nice evening 👍
Review by Niko
Coffee and cocoa on the agenda... Simple but effective in the sweetness 🙂🙂
Review by rum_sk
It reminds me of Dictador but a little bit diluted in taste. 👃 is bit alcoholic but sweet and spicy. 👅 gives coffee, sweetness and brown sugar. As said reminds me of diluted dictador. Finish is medium long. Retaste: Spicy sweet piece. Although it really does remind me of dictador.
Review by Jonas Kofod
God men mangler kompleksitet om smagsstyrke. Rigtig fed puddersukker sødme. Good but lack some complexity and flavour intensity. Awesome powdered sugar kind of sweetness.
Review by nick_nick1
Leicht alkoholischer Geruch aber angenehm. Etwas Schärfe, leichte Note von Bitterschokolade. Geschmacklich ganz nett. Wäre Ggf eine alternativ zur fruchtigen Rums
Review by Portman
Balanced smell and taste, sufficiently complex, vanilla, a bit floral, with subtle dark cocoa notes and a little coffee. Good sip!
Review by Cédric Meyers
Surprising but not a killer.
Review by Montana
Sweet, like nougat and coffee, vanilla. The taste also goes in the same direction, very pleasant. A very tasty rum.
Review by J.V.
All good things come in threes, after Project One and Two the third in the group is the best. Coffee meets chocolate...
Review by Tobin
Nice how different types of chocolate take turns here. On the nose it's still milk chocolate, in the mouth you find light white chocolate, and in the finish it suddenly turns into bitter dark chocolate. Otherwise, a good rum at a fair price.
Review by Eldon24
In der Nase intensives Toffee, etwas Vanille, etwas Rosine und ein Geruch der an Kaugummi erinnert. Im Glas ein Bernsteinfarbton und eine ölige Anmutung. Auf der Zunge intensiv Vanille, etwas Rosinen, jedoch vom Mundgefühl eher wässrig. Der Abgang ist eher schwach und bringt etwas süßliche Vanille zum Vorschein.
Review by Rado Vito
You can smell caramel and coffee, the smell is soft but intense, very nice. The taste is sharpy with toffee flavour. There is no aftertaste, maybe I can compare it with the taste after the sweet called Toffifee. But nothing remindable.
Review by MatzeHaHa
Very sharp in the finish. Can't keep up with Project Five and noticeably falls short. For my taste, too spirity.
