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.

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.

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.
