Anon Spiced Cane Spirit
Firstly drum-roll please … this is my 100th alcohol-free review! What better way to celebrate than by reviewing a classic alternative to rum – Anon Spiced Cane Spirit.
A couple of months ago I reviewed Anon’s English Garden (an alcohol-free Pimms alternative) which scored pretty well. So I was excited when this bottle was delivered. If you’ve not come across Anon before they are a small UK-based alcohol-free spirit creator and currently have three types on offer – English Garden, Bittersweet Aperitifr and the Spiced Cane I tried today.
Designed to be used as an alternative to rum and ideal with a mixer, Spiced Cane combines a unique collection of flavours and botanicals to recreate the warm and sweet flavours of a run. I had it mixed with Fever Tree’s ginger ale over some ice.
The question is, is this alcohol-free rum worthy of a place on Jack Sparrow’s table? Well, you’ll just need to read the review below to find out.
Is Anon Spiced cane spirit any good?
Taste
There is definitely some resemblance to a classic rum flavour with background notes of ginger, cinnamon and vanilla. For me it is a little too sweet and misses the mark when it comes to the background fiery touch an alcoholic rum would bring to the table; perhaps a dash of chilli could have helped here. Overall though when ginger ale was added to the mix it made for a very tasty and refreshing mocktail
Aroma & Appearance
The aroma is very reminiscent of a spiced rum and you can certainly pick out the vanilla and ginger notes. In the glass, it has a light amber colour.
Bonus points
Anon’s spirits are very accessible for most people given they have zero alcohol, are gluten-free and vegan friendly and relatively low in sugar. Not really available in supermarkets, your best bet to purchase Anon Spiced Cane spirit is via an online specialist.
