Cherry, salted caramel, and rum. Yeah, this all sounds pretty good, doesn't it? The folks at Rockstar Spirits have created another delicious treat for its Two Swallows range featuring rum from Guyana's Diamond Distillery infused with maraschino cherries, black cherries, caramel and a pinch of rock salt. Combine this with cola and you'll be on to a winner.
Packed with honey and caramel, fruity esters drifting up through the richness. Just a touch of savoury salt notes arrive later on, balanced by juicy cherry and fresh banana.
I really enjoyed this cherry and salted caramel rum... either to drink with lemonade and ice or poured over chocolate ice cream as a tasty treat ?
Love this rum! It is very smooth and you can really taste both the cherry and salted caramel flavours. I have tried it with both cherry coke and Lemonade and both taste delicious. Seen a couple of negative comments about this rum which surprises me as friends who have tried this rum also think it is great. If you like smooth rum and are a fan of cherry and salted caramel flavours, you will love this! ???
Absolutely love this. Tried it in black coffee as a winter warmer as well as with mixers. Its great to find such a versatile rum !!
This is my absolute favourite of the two swallows!! The flavours compliment each other brilliantly and goes perfectly with cherry coke! Hats off best rum around!!
I don’t like this at all! The flavours hit me in two waves. The first wave is the instant hit of the cherry, which bombarded my mouth with much appreciated pleasure and intensity. But then the second wave which is the savoury part of this rum, thanks to the salted caramel, is so intense it literally aggravated my throat giving it a burning sensation. And then if that wasn’t bad enough, it felt like I was getting heartburn with every swallow I took. So I had my fingers crossed that with a mixer, it would be more to my liking, but unfortunately that was not to be either. I tried this rum with blackcurrant both still and sparkling and then with Coca-Cola and finally with Pepsi Max Cherry, so you cannot say I didn’t give this rum every chance. But with every mixer I used, the salted aspect of this rum, was too much for my throat and heart, to bear. And believe me at £25 for a bottle that is only 50cl instead of the standard 70cl (what’s all that about!) I so desperately wanted to like this in any sort of capacity, to at least get some sort of value for my money. So if like me you have a sweet tooth, and you believe that savoury should go nowhere near sweet, then give this rum a swerve, because you will not enjoy it. And to make matters worse, I doubt you can use this rum as part of a cocktail either!
