Mainbrace Rum

Splendid lighthouse shaped bottle! I'm not a rum connoisseur but here are my thoughts - The rum is more rummy and less spicey than, say, Kraken. However it's not as sweet, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. It might be sacrilegious to some but I thoroughly enjoyed it with Fevertree ginger beer (a Kingston or rather, Georgetown Mule perhaps?). I have to say that it was unremarkable when tried over ice, but it's still worth 4 stars. I don't like the residual chemical flavours some drinks have (not just cheap rum or gin) but this didn't have those residuals. Nor did it have the "burn" some people are suggesting here - that could just be my age and "years of experience" drinking! This (my bottle) was the regular strength, not the Navy version - perhaps the burn comes with that one.

Rough spirit. Very poor offering - I was expecting something a lot smoother

I thought I hated rum.
I'd clearly been doing it wrong

Interesting and excellent discovery. Light, complex and very moreish. Pretty cool bottle too!

A great rum. Its not too sweet and works in so many combinations.

Write up has this as a sipping rum so got a bottle. I am sorry I did needs a lot of coke or ginger beer!!?? Taste is burn and cheap flavours. Have tried lots and have a number of favourites this needs missing pity like the idea

A very unique flavour profile and really smooth. Absolutely delicious.

I got a bottle for my dad for christmas as a new rum to try. he loves it and tells me he needs a new one already!

Drink rum neat all the time so thought would give this a try? Am sorry I did its sharp and has a burn 🔥. Very disappointed the boss wants the bottle for craft project. But that's the only positive
