I do enjoy a rum & coke of an evening, and tried this about a month ago:-
It is bloody lovely, and for 15 quid a bargain. Gently spiced and not as sweet as Kraken; similar to O.V.D. but softer on the palate. The full 40 volts as well.
Might give this a go tomorrow. I tend to drink whisky+ soda water and want to steer away from this. I was never fond of rum in the past but want to get into it now. My big gripe is many rums seem to be 35-37%, having recently tried captain morgan's spiced its just a little too sweet.It is bloody lovely, and for 15 quid a bargain.

I've been tempted to try it but I've got 5 bottles of Kraken in my spirits cupboard, not bought a bottle in probably a decade. In fact I've sold some to colleagues and friends as i invariably receive at leat 1 bottle for xmas and birthday.
tend to keep 1 kraken and 1 other run on the go for flip/flop comparisons. I've just finished a bottle of black magic so the second spot is open. (black magic thicker, richer with much more treacle to taste... generally better than kraken)
my problem is mixers, i buy them and before i come to drink them i find they're gone

Off topic but to add for rum - Chairman's spiced is a cracker.
Back to Aldi, I wish they'd release a bacon and sausage range without the nitrites like a 'Naked' rip off.
Just asked my OH, as she works for the company that makes Naked bacon and also supplies Aldi with sausages etc. There are no plans to do a rip off at the moment.Back to Aldi, I wish they'd release a bacon and sausage range without the nitrites like a 'Naked' rip off.

While in my local Aldi, I spotted Roast Beef with Horseradish crinkle cut crisps and thought I would give them a try. Brilliant 
They sound good. I bought some jalapeño flavour pretzels pieces in Aldi , they were very nice.

Tried them a while back and was more than a little disappointed.The Aldi snack I find like crack is the mini bruschetta they occasionally stock.
I've been trying all the different 2 step curry sauces from Aldi. Had the Balti one tonight, think it's my favourite, bit of a kick without taking your head off. I had it with chicken but think it's probably better suited to a dark meat. I'm not much of a lamb fan so will try it with beef.
