In fact, spiced rum makes an excellent vanilla extract. The most popular (in other words, cheap), Captain Morgan, already has a vanilla element to its flavor profile. It really depends on what you pair with the vanilla beans. If vodka has the cleanest vanilla smell, then rum and bourbon (and I think brandies would particularly make a beautiful pairing with vanilla) ought to add a certain depth to vanilla; you just have to find one that highlights vanilla, not dominate or even just complement. For example, the Captain Morgan spiced rum also has a subtle caramel flavor. With vanilla, the taste is simply delectable. aetano, I’m inclined to agree with you.

Rum is made from sugar cane. Complaints of 'strong'' rum flavor are questionable. Maybe you're referring to the harsh notes of the cheapest product available? Extract made with a decent quality rum and good beans with a little time will yield a stellar extract that is superb in the appropriate dishes. Canele and caramels come to mind.

Very interesting. I just wanted to comment that I once experimented with making it with (Brittish) Gin. Although Gin is rather strongly flavoured just like Rum I did found the outcome rather nice. However, many people do not really like the perfume like small of Gin. For those mixing it with vanilla will NOT be a good idea. If you like the small (and taste) of Gin and vanilla a Gin based vanilla extract will give a nice twist to your dishes! Vanilla Extract with Gin. Very interesting.

I've been making all of my extracts with vodka because I thought the other liquors had too strong a taste to them. This confirms what I had thought. Please give us feedback on the vanilla rum soaked raisin truffles. They sound yummy. Thank you for this information.
