Ableforth’s Rumbullion!
Most love its bold Christmas spices and smooth sweetness; critics find it cloying, herbal and “not really rum”. Consensus: a fun, winter spiced drink, best mixed rather than sipped neat.
Those who love very sweet, spiced drinks, winter/Christmas flavors and rum‑and‑cola highballs or dessert cocktails rather than traditional dry rum sipping.

My favorite spiced rum so far. Very sweet but also a nice amount of spices.
This spiced rum is pure winter spices. Ideal for the cool season. A real character. Sugar 29g/l (2.9%)
Auto-translated7,5:On the nose, we get lots of cinnamon at first, then cardamom. These spices are very fresh and give a fairly natural impression. There's also a very pastry-like quality: the almond is reminiscent of a frangipane cake, and the spices evoke a Christmas cake or cinnamon rolls. The spices are melted into the liquid, giving the impression of a real infusion. An infusion of ginger in this case, or a herbal tea with lime leaf and lemongrass. Aeration doesn't fundamentally alter the nose, except that the roundness of vanilla is now apparent. Cardamom predominates, as do lime leaf and ginger. 7,5:On the palate, the attack is soft and sweet, but of course spicy. The same cocktail of spices is present as on the nose, but the impression is less fresh, darker, and the slightly woody rum character is now more pronounced. Cinnamon and cardamom still lead the way, and the cake is now more baked and caramelized. The rum begins to fade, leaving pepper and cola in its wake. 7,2:The finish continues with a pepper/cola duo reminiscent of a famous soda.
Wonderful mix of complex spices blended expertly for an aromatic, tasty experience that I haven't found anywhere else! Thoroughly impressed!
