2016 Spiced Rum Taste-off: Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced Rum

Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 21, 2016

Shipwreck and ColaRobert and Zachary Brinley founded the St. Kitts Rum Company in the early 1990s to blend and market their Brinley Gold Rums on St. Kitts and in the United States. It is the stated goal of the company to make and market the “best tasting flavoured rums in the world“. To that end, the Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced Rum is produced using a rum blend which has been aged for four years in used American whisky and bourbon barrels. The rum is flavoured (or perhaps I should say spiced) with Madagascar vanilla, orange, nutmeg, clove, and other tropical spice flavors. It is blended as a mixing rum, but Brinley maintains that the rum is smooth enough to be enjoyed over ice.

Here is my Review:

#14 Brinley Gold Shipwreck Spiced Rum

“… The nose from the glass carries an overt butterscotch sweetness combined with firm vanilla as well as a muted spiciness to the air above the glass. When I allow the glass to breathe I can detect a little of the oak accents as well as the presence of some sharper aromatic spices akin to cinnamon and cloves …”
