Combined with chocolate, it creates a true taste experience you won\u2019t forget any time soon.   <\/p><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">If you\u2019re looking for alternatives available in Austria and Germany, I can recommend:<\/p><ol><li>Plantation Original Dark \u2013 a blend of Jamaican and Guyanese rum with intense aromas of banana, chocolate and spices. Perfect for rum balls, as it beautifully complements the chocolate notes. <\/li><li>Mount Gay Rum Eclipse \u2013 this rum from Barbados offers a balanced combination of sweet and spicy flavours with a subtle smoky note.
