2240 Social Club World‘s End Rum Dark Spiced

World's End Rum Dark Spiced was bottled by the 2240 Social Club in Belgium, a spiced rum at 40 percent that leans further toward a herbal, liqueur like character than most of its category. It is openly a flavoured release, aimed at spiced rum drinkers rather than those after a dry aged sipper.

The spicing and sweetness lead, but a pronounced herbal streak sets it apart. The nose shows brown sugar, spice and raisin with a sweet, lightly sharp lift and dry fruit, the palate turns candied with vanilla, burnt sugar and spice, and the finish runs drier and more bitter with espresso and woody notes. The strong herbal quality pushes it toward herbal liqueur territory as much as rum. Honest about what it is, it works as a characterful spiced pour for fans of the style, sipped over ice or mixed, where its dark, herbal spice carries through.
