I was hunting down "Newfoundland Screech" in NS when a gentleman customer suggested I try the Black Strap . I took his word but I selected both types for a comparison test in case I didn't like his suggestion. His suggestion was on the mark! It has a unique flavour and aroma. It is now on the top of my list. Some may find it a bit sweet with Pepsi or Coke but you just have to try it once (with diet) if you consider yourself a "black rum drinker". Screech is an underestimated smooth rum which I find better than Capt Morgan's. Wow, if you enjoy a “dark and dirty” you will find this amazing.

I cannot mix it with anything without getting that molasses taste. The reason I am replying is to let you know that I use it regularly in a very interesting recipe. I make a drink known to me and my crew as "Hot Apple Pie". It's basically hot buttered rum with apple cider instead of water. I find the taste of this rum compliments it very well. I have made this drink in the past with Sailor Jerry and Captain Morgan, (two of the best mixing rums out there and the most accessible for the price) and I have gotten compliments on the new recipe even when all I changed was the type of rum used.
