The first release from Scotland's Dark Matter Distillers is Dark Matter Spiced Rum - very exciting stuff! Created in Banchory by two brothers, Jim and John Ewen, Dark Matter Spiced Rum is a molasses-based rum that features full-bodied notes of long pepper, fresh ginger, green peppercorns and allspice.
Too much and you’ve blown it, just the right amount and it’s a treat to the tongue and a spicy, sweet splash soaking of the senses. I haven’t tried many mixers other than cola but it’s a win so far.
I agree with one half of the reviews listed. Far too strong in cloves. All I could think of was tooth tincture. If you like cloves you’ll love this, if not stick with something like Bumbu for spiced rum.
Love this rum.. Drink it with apple juice and a slice of lime
I can see why it divides opinion. I personally loved it. Very spicy but very moreish. Its similar to Rumbullion although I prefer Dark Matter of the two
It's an awesome rum I had so much of it at Christmas time that I had to be carried home. I won't be drinking it neat again. So I will try complimenting it with iron brew. Next time.
