The verdict here isn't kind: most tasters land in the mediocre middle, and a couple go lower. It pours dark and reads watered-down — light body, a bit of raisin and toffee, faint oak — but several people flag an astringent, chemical, almost plastic note that sits on top of the warm rum underneath. A few just find it plain. Members reach for it as a mixer, not a sipper.

How does Rock Spirits Screech Dark Rum taste?
Summarized by AI from 16 community reviews.
Watery, chemical-edged mixer, not a sipper Opinion runs from meh to genuinely off-putting — that chemical, plastic edge is the recurring complaint. Most agree it's a cola-and-ice bottle, not one to sip neat.

#7234 30.08.2026 Tasted at the German Rum Festival 2026. Only one word for this rum; YIKES. Been there done that no more. Quick notes while tasting. Light, unbalanced, tobacco, leather, coffee, fruits, caramel, woody, molasses, plastic.
Review by Fuhgetaboutit
Reminds me of a bourbon barreled English style barlwywine. Thin bodied. Could easily be confused with a brown sugar candied bourbon. Smooth all the way around but nothing shines.
Review by Andi
Was a birthday gift, well very watered down, light sweetness, very light wood tatsch. Is used for mixing. Addendum: Image

Very weak in the smell but then came yet a pleasant taste Unfortunately, me a jag too Röstig
Review by Big Greasy Daddy
Well, they can’t all be winners. It’s label says “New Taste” but I wonder what the old taste was like? Unfortunately the new taste is not great. Astringent, chemically, and plastic flavors. Not horrible if you can get paste the industrial flavor but just not my bag. Longer finish but it’s not a good one.
Review by Montana
A sweet and fruity aroma, toffee. The taste is quite light, restrained sweet, a little bitter in the finish.
Review by Bowel Emptier
Would not drink again. It smelled and taste a bit like this pet spray I use to clean up after my dog. It’s weird because behind the astringent chemical taste, there’s a nice warm chill rum, but it’s overshadowed. Not too gross to drink, not a catastrophe, just meh. Average for me is 5.

So ordinary, but for its price it pleases and does not offend
