Blackheart Premium Spiced RUM well deserves its tagline, "Seduction in a bottle." Fortunately for us, the high-octane spirit that bears her name is equally sensational. Made by Heaven Hill in Bardstown, Kentucky, Blackheart is a blend of premium Caribbean rums and baking spices. To accentuate its rebellious nature, the rum is bottled at 46.5 percent alcohol by volume (93 proof). While many light-bodied spirits don't perform well at high proof, this bold, well-crafted rum easily handles the additional alcohol. The rum has a dark amber appearance, a velvety medium-weight body and a spicy wafting bouquet. The aromatics alone confirm you're in the presence of a genuinely remarkable spirit. Being 93 proof means that it contains less water, which is why the rum is so exceptionally flavorful. Its distinctive taste profile is chock full of vanilla, zesty citrus and warm spices. The rum finishes long, soothing and thoroughly delicious.
