Black Tears Dry Spiced Rum 70cl

Spiced rum that stays dry and punchy, so your drink tastes like rum and real spice, not melted candy.

Black Tears brings a Cuban-leaning profile with warm baking spices and a clean, brisk edge that plays ridiculously well in cocktails. The big win is balance, you get flavour and lift without the syrupy heaviness that can bulldoze a mix.

It’s the kind of bottle you reach for when you want your Cuba Libre to snap, your rum and ginger beer to bring heat, and your simple rum and cola to feel like you tried (you did).

• Nose: Toasted vanilla, cinnamon stick, clove, a hint of citrus peel
• Taste: Dry spiced warmth up front, vanilla and gentle caramel, peppery spice, light orange zest
• Finish: Lingering cinnamon and clove, clean and lightly zesty, not sticky

Best for easy classics and house pours where you want instant character without turning everything into a sugar bomb. Think Cuba Libre, Dark ’n’ Stormy, or spiking a rum punch when you want the spice to show up and behave.

Spice-forward but not shouty, this one’s a great “one-bottle” move for home bartenders because it adds depth fast, even when the rest of the ingredients are basic.

Fun Fact: The name Black Tears nods to the iconic Cuban song “Lágrimas Negras” (Black Tears), a little heartbreak baked into the backstory.
