Bacardí Spiced does a commendable job of keeping some actual rum character intact in its spiced expression. Expect some typical molasses and fruitcake notes with additional forward aromas of vanilla bean, marmalade and baking spices. It is “adult” enough be enjoyed on its own over ice, and I found it worked best mixed with cola (specifically Coke Zero) and a spritz of lime. The vanilla and spice mingle nicely with the trace of rum heat that graces the finish.
