How does this rum taste?
Benchmark gateway to Jamaican funk
If you’re rum-curious and keep hearing about “Jamaican funk”, this is the bottle that lets you taste it clearly without the cask-strength punch—great reference before moving to wilder Hampdens.
Those wanting very sweet, soft rums or heavy high-ester, cask-strength Hampdens; also not ideal if you need a very long, powerful finish.

This rum, together with its Overproof brother, marking an historic moment for all rum enthusiasts loving the funky 100% pot still rum from Jamaica. Now we don’t need to buy expensive Veliers. The nose is fruity and spicy with esters. At the palate it’s complex, intense and funky with strong flavors of fruits and spices.
Sehr ungewohnt. Fast wie Whiskey. Wirklich komplett ungesüßt. Braucht ne 2te Chance vllt.
Finally i had the opportunity to taste this „famous“ rum. Very good rum. It could be a high 80 rum, but the alcohol isn‘t integrated well. I can recommend it for mixing and sipping.🥃 Very good price for value 💪🏻 Nose: a lot of fruits ester, pineapple, apricot, spicy, solvents, overripe banana, leather, vanilla Mouth: dry, elegant, delicious, spicy, banana, ester, solvents, fruity, peppery, vanilla, roasted Finish: is medium long, dry, astringend, woody(oak), vanilla, nutty, honey, fruity
This is definitely a "Jamaican". Funky and fruity rum that can be both a sipper and mixer to your liking. For the price a pretty good rum. I just did another tasting of this rum and it scored a few extra points this time.
