Ever wondered what separates spiced rum from dark rum?
Here’s the lowdown from the Slydog team.

Spiced Rum

• Typically based on light or medium rum

• Infused with natural spices (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, citrus peel)

• Often slightly sweetened

• Smooth, aromatic, and versatile — perfect for cocktails or sipping

Dark Rum

• Aged longer in oak barrels (deeper colour)

• No added spices

• Richer, more molasses-heavy flavour

• More robust and often sipped neat or in classic cocktails like the Mai Tai

At Slydog, we love spiced rum for its flexibility — mixable, sippable, and full of bold personality.
