Dead Man's Fingers

A spiced rum created by the chaps behind The Rum & Crab Shack in St. Ives (which serves tasty seafood and top rum - sounds excellent to us). Dead Man's Fingers rum is made using a blend of Caribbean rums alongside a hearty helping of spices. When ordering, make sure to only ask for measurements in fingers like the cool people in films do. "Three fingers of Dead Man's Fingers please, barkeeper!"

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Pineapple, Seville orange, dried raisins dusted with cinnamon and black pepper. A touch of creamy vanilla develops later on.

Reviews for Dead Man's Fingers Cornish Spiced Rum
Not at all impressed
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

Good as paint thinners
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

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

Great with diet coke
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.

Good value for what it is.
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.

Worst so called rum I've tasted in 25 years
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.

Too much sweet, not enough rum.
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.

Bang average
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!
