Penninger Spiced Graphit
Sipped neat, this is unlike any spiced rum you've had — Bavarian herbs meet a sweetened rum base, with celery, malt and dried fruit doing genuinely strange things in the glass. Several members reach for Blutwurz and Bärwurz to describe it. It's sweet, herbal and polarizing; one taster sums it up as spiced rum done the Bavarian way. You'll love it or you won't.

How does Penninger Spiced Graphit taste?
Summarized by AI from 15 community reviews.
Herbal, sweet spiced rum with a wild celery twist Truly divisive — the herbal, celery-driven twist wins fans who call it something completely new, while others find it neither proper rum nor proper herb schnapps.

Unfortunately, the taste is not in the app here. But this rum has an extraordinary celery flavor. Totally different from the spiced rums I've had so far. Really something special.

Better than the non-spiced version, but neither fish nor fowl: too little spices for an herbal schnapps, but also hardly recognizable as rum-based. Possibly suitable for people who find the company's herbal schnapps too sharp.
Review by zabo
This is something completely different. If you know the Bavarian Forest and a Blutwurz and Bärwurz, you'll be impressed here. It has nothing to do with rum as you know it spiced. Conclusion: Blended Rum meets Bär/Blutwurz. The typical herbs of the Bavarian Forest are dominant. I think there are only two possibilities, either you love it or you hate it. Penninger has tried a completely new flavor direction here.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Stefan Penninger (III, I think?) is somewhere between expert, genius/innovator and totally crazy. One of the best at the distillery in Germany and in my opinion way too overlooked overall. Either way - Jamaica rum, spiced Bavarian style. That means celery, malt and all that stuff. Yes, seriously. And it works. Completely absurd on the nose, it continues like that in taste but strongly sweetened. Tiki buzz in the Weisswurst heaven or something. I give up on describing it, you have to experience this stuff. Boomer fun without cringe or anything. Great.
Review by Johannes
Already somewhat sweet, but somehow also interesting in taste because it has an unusual celery note.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Very special aromas, so far unique among the spiced rums I know. Herbs and spices meet sweetness and fruits. Spiced rum in Bavarian style in the best sense - with some blood and Bärwurz vibes. Drinks: - Neat: 3.5/5 - Rum Cola: 2.5/5 (herbal cola, quite okay) - Rum Mule:
