Black Tears Dry Spiced is the Worlds' First Ever Spiced Cuban Rum, and today remains the ONLY truly authentic Spiced Cuban Rum available on the global market. It was the first ever Cacao, Coffee and Sweet Chilli infused rum within the spiced rum category and has one of the lowest sugar levels in the whole rum category, not only the spcied category. Bottled with no more than 9g p/l of added sugar and at 40%abv, the flavours all carry better as they are unmasked by an overly sweet flavour profile. Fun can be had with Black Tears Dry Spiced, be it cocktails or mixed drinks, but the best way to enjoy Black Tears Dry Spiced is neat, or overthe rocks, which is unusual for a spiced rum.

Dry, rich roasted coffee, with soft citrus zest on the nose. Taste differs from person to person, but a deep, dark chocolate washed with coffee gives a silky smokeyness that fills the mouth. With such a low sugar content the finish is big and long and builds over sips allowing the actual aged rum blend to really shine through.
