Squeezing in at nearly the eleventh hour is one last new rum for the 2024 list of Balladeer’s Blog’s Favorite Rums for the Independence Day holiday.
BLACKHEART RUM – Made in America, this rum product is described by the distillers as “rich in flavor and edgy to the core.” Blackheart Rum comes in at 93 proof.
TASTING NOTES
Nose – Mix of cinnamon, fennel, caramel and licorice.
Palate – Spicy and flavorful, with notes of cherry, cream and molasses.
Finish – Finishes with a tantalizing taste and a tinge of spice.
LORE – With my oddball sense of humor I thoroughly enjoyed the elaborate, tongue-in-cheek backstory that Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. came up with for this rum’s mascot. Ready for it?
“They called her Blackheart. She was bold and bawdy. Cunning and cutthroat. Sexy and seductive. She fought like a man. She drank like a man, but she was every inch a woman. She had a body that entranced and a lusty look that turned boys into men and men into blubbering fools. Every man wanted her. Every woman wanted to be her. No man could resist her. But few could have her.
“Some say she was the daughter of Aphrodite herself. What is known is that she left a trail of broken hearts wherever she traveled. That’s how she came to be known as Blackheart. Here’s the rum she drank to celebrate her conquests.”

Great posts as always. I’m not a user of alcohol because of my religion but I do appreciate your posts. While I will never consume alcohol, I do appreciate ways in which it’s depicted in movies. Alcohol addiction is a fascinating topic that has often made for memorable movies. For instance, “Another Round” is a brilliant movie capturing painful consequences that come with alcoholism. It tells story of four friends engaging in a dangerous drinking experiment which comes with a cost. One of the best movies from 2019. Here’s why it’s a must-see:
Thanks for such sentiments!
Cheers! 😉👍🥃
Thank you very much!
