Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sales event is upon us again and that means there are plenty of bargains to be had across 1,000s of products. That includes Amazon's own devices and other tech, home appliances, and even giant Toblerones. But did you know there are also plenty of deals on alcohol?
Beer and spirits are heavily discounted during Prime Day, Black Friday and this latest event too. There are great deals on whisky, bourbon and gin, but I also love a great rum and some of the finest brands have bottles in the sale as well.
So here are my picks of the five best rum deals I've found on Amazon as part of the Big Deal Days sale. I hope you enjoy them as much as I.
Designed to be sipped, Diplomático's Reserva Exclusiva Rum has dark chocolate and coffee notes, plus a citrus base that lingers. It's a smooth tipple that does go well with mixers, but you'll likely just want to take it neat.
You can get a massive £10 off this Cuban spiced rum, which is made using coffee from the region, plus chocolate. Its overall signature includes fruits, honey and spices and it goes as well with the cola of your choice as it does neat.
Aged in bourbon casks for a sweet and smoky flavour, this 12-year-old rum is deep and bold. It is perhaps best enjoyed in a cocktail or with a mixer, thanks to its woodier finish than some peers.
A personal favourite, especially at this price, this aged rum is infused with banana peel to send you to the Caribbean every sip. There are toffee, fruity notes and it's a great all-rounder, either over ice or in throaty cocktail.
As well as coming in a great looking bottle, NAUD's step-up Hidden Loot Dark Reserve contains an extra ingredient that just kicks it off a notch – bird chili pepper. You get a subtle heat that rounds off each sip.
The above all come as personal recommendations, but there are plenty of other rums also available with big discounts during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days.
You will need to be a Prime member to snap up any of the deals during the event, but you can take out a 30-day trial if you're a new subscriber and then cancel afterwards if you don't want to take advantage of any of the other benefits.
It's worth it for sure, to stock up your drinks cabinet in a way that's kinder to your pocket.
