PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Stroh 160 Proof Spiced Rum (also labeled “Stroh 80º”) is a wildly strong, flavor-forward overproof rum from Austria. Think intense sweetness, bold spice, and big heat. It’s not for sipping lightly—but it shines in cocktails, punches, hot drinks, and desserts. If you want something that brings both fire and character, this is your bottle.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Producer | STROH Austria GmbH, a historic Austrian maker known for high-proof rum/spiced spirits. |
| ABV / Proof | 80% ABV → 160 proof. |
| Base | Rum distilled from molasses. Unaged, or very lightly aged. Focus is on spice/aroma rather than long barrel aging. |
| Flavoring | Spiced rum—aromatic spices and herbs in addition to molasses sweetness. Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, maybe allspice, possibly clove etc. (“sweet spice”) in many reviews. |
| Sense | Notes |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Very strong and pungent at first: heavy vanilla, molasses, caramel, brown sugar, baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, maybe a hint of clove), maybe citrus peel or light zest if you nose through the alcohol. Some lighter herbal or earthy backnotes. |
| Palate / Taste | Massive heat up front due to 80% ABV; big sweetness, thick molasses. The spices come through more after the initial burn: vanilla, maybe toasted oak-type impression, cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s intense and rich. |
| Finish | Long, warming, spicy. Heat lingers. The sweet/spice combo persists. Slight burn, with lingering vanilla/molar sweetness and maybe a trailing warmth of pepper/spice. Not subtle. |
