The folks behind the excellent Jaffa Cake Gin have gone ahead and found a new partner for the classic orangey, chocolatey treat - rum! Akin to its gin-based sibling, Jaffa Cake Rum is made with actual, no-foolin' Jaffa cakes, alongside oranges, fresh orange peel and cocoa powder, but this time it's been blended with Caribbean rum! As it turns out, this is also an ideal combination - which shouldn't be too surprising, considering that chocolate plus rum and orange plus rum are both fab flavour combos already. However, when they all come together in Jaffa Cake Rum, it is spectacular! Not only does it do very well in a Daiquiri, it also makes a mean Rum Old Fashioned with only a splash of vermouth needed.
Rich hot chocolate wafts arrive first, followed by zesty orange bolstered by the fruit-forward rum notes developing. Subtle ginger heat and vanilla pod earthiness in the background.
Juicy orange jumps to the fore, though vanilla-rich, subtly grassy rum elements remain prevalent. Cakey sweetness balances dark chocolate, with a tangy hint of tropical fruit giving it some pep.
Almost buttery, with orange oil and mocha hints lasting long on the finish.
The flavours that rum and Jaffa cakes share are accentuated incredibly well in Jaffa Cake Rum, and they blend brilliantly together, making for an approachable yet supremely satisfying delight.

On the nose Jaffa Cake Rum predominantly smells of orange with just a hint of chocolate. Drank neat the orange continues to be the more dominant, because what you experience on the palate, but not so much in the after taste, is an orange tasting rum that is sweet but thankfully not overly zingy. All well and good, but for me this rum comes alive when mixed with Coca-Cola. The coke brings out the chocolate flavour, making Jaffa Cake Rum much more enjoyable. And not only that, the fizzy dark stuff also makes this rum smell more like chocolate as well. So the way I see it, you have two simple choices. If you would prefer this rum zesty with a very slight spicy kick, then drink it neat. However, if like me you have a sweet tooth, then adding Coca-Cola is an absolute must, because then you will experience a whole new side to this rum. A sweeter, calmer and much more chocolatey side.
makes a mean daiquiri and an even better Mai Tai good value
Personally I felt it tasted more like a Christmas cake rather than Jaffa cake. It was nice, but I think that if the rum was lighter (like captain Webbs, or Old J), it would let the orange flavour come through more.
Bought this as I had it in a pub in London first so I knew what I was getting. It's fine on its own but the sweetness soon dissipates leaving a slight alcohol after note. But, add cola to it and this is perfectly balanced. Super tasty and highly recommend.
Lovely tasty drop……I like mine neat with no nice and it hits the spot without being harsh.
