It's quite good - it's definitely spiced rum now (you can taste the flavours of the different spices, orange in particular) but not as you know it (eg the vanilla is not the dominant taste). There was nearly no colour difference but the rum had a little less alcohol sting to it. Interesting... After a few neat tastes I stowed the rum in a small barrel for ageing which I am documenting in another thread & kept a sample for comparison - we'll see what happens in 3 months!
