Dead Man's Fingers Cornish Spiced Rum 70cl

Overall, the taste is fairly standard in the spiced rum market, sweet with a bitter undertone. Didn't help that the cork came apart from the cap after 5 recaps. Had to stick a fork in the cork to get it out as the glue had come loose.

If you're looking for a shelf stunner with the look of the bottle go ahead but there are better spiced rums not concerned with looks over quality

Seen it about for a while and thought why not as it was on offer.

Then after trying it instantly regretted spending any money on this at all.

This bares only a passing resemblance to the taste of a Barbados rum, tastes exceptionally sweet and yet somehow with a harsh after taste. Definitely not a rum to drink neat, a mixer is required to mellow the taste.

Can't recommend it at all

Difficult to detect a rum content, too sweet and flowery. I will stay with Myers's Original Dark and Havana 7.

My favourite rum. Personally prefer to other spiced rums, namely Kraken and Captain Morgan.
It is quite sweet, but I also enjoy neat with ice.

Honest Review

You're paying around £22 for a bottle of rum.

Theres a lot of bonkers reviews on here, but let me try to put it simply.

Its a decent choice with a rum and coke, if a little sweet for the pallet of some.

Ignore the low stars from those somehow dissapointed that a £22 bottle of rum didnt taste amazing neat...

Ive given it 4 stars for what it is, a solid cheap level spiced rum. Would i order it over Captain Morgans in a bar? Yes. Would I order it by the bottle again for myself? Probably not.

Great with coke but can't stand on its own. Good for a social drinker.

I got a bottle today and I love it and will keep getting it

If you have bought this with the intention to drink it neat don't, its vile, I'm sure this is suitable for cleaning paint brushes.
It tastes very artificial and not at all like rum, infact I would go as far as to say it has rum in it and that's it, tastes like a grain spirit has been used also.
I don't expect much at this price point, but it's worse than even supermarket own brand stuff, if you are on a limited budget and want a mixer rum, just buy kraken or captain Morgan similar price and more suitable for mixers
This is the only rum I've poured down the sink, not even acceptable for cooking or used with a mixer.

This drink, honestly doesn't even taste anything remotely like rum should. Sure it has aged rum in it, however there's no flavour of it at all. If I wanted to drink rum flavoured ice cream, I'd make it with a nicer drink than this trifle-flavoured rubbish. A shame on the county it proudly claims to come from.
However, it does mix alright with something else. And if you're not a fan of Kraken? This is better for those who don't enjoy 'harder' drinks.

Agree that it's not good in the sense of a good rum. However, not all that bad. I recommend trying it with a decent cranberry juice!
