I thought they were nothing special, but fine for party punches, and mixing cocktails for undiscerning houseguests that I didn't want to waste better rums on. I never got any sort of "gym shoe" flavor from the spiced version though. Not sure what's up with that, but considering the odd habit that TV has of totally ruining successful products, like their drink syrups, it wouldn't surprise me if they tinkered with the recipe at some point.
