Sometimes, producers even add the spices to the liquid before ageing it, capturing even more of the aromas and flavours from the elements used. What matters is that the spices must sit with the rum for a while in a closed compartment to release their full potential. And that's about it. Are spiced rums actually spicy?To really experience the smooth, complex flavour of SLY DOG Spiced Rum, we highly recommend serving it straight up over ice.
