How does this rum taste?
The Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum MRJB is a rare, 45-year-old spirit distilled in 1977, renowned for its nuanced aroma of vanilla, wood, banana, and spice. Bottled at cask strength with a 48.9% ABV, it offers a complex taste profile featuring notes of vanilla, roasted wood, banana, and caramel. While highly revered for its delicate flavors and historical charm, some enthusiasts find it lacking in body and length. Limited to just 288 bottles, it's a collector's piece that's generating noteworthy interest on RumX, despite mixed reviews about its value for the steep price.

Mmh .... ich bin etwas verwundert, so richtig verstehe ich diesen Rum nicht . Anfangs dachte ich sofort an einen Appleton 🤔🤔 das kannst nicht gewesen sein ... doch soooo viel mehr kam nicht ! Minimal Frucht .... Schokolade und Holz(garnicht mal viel) . Also hier kann NUR das Alter den Preis geschaffen haben denn der Rum rechtfertigt es FÜR MICH in keinster Weise.
More restrained and less aromatic in direct comparison to its younger predecessor (1982 vintage). Some tropical fruit and wood influence - but everything very subdued.On the palate then quite astringent and spicy - but also quite thin. Definitely tasty and interesting - but with the impressive key data, the rum is then but clearly below the (high) expectations. Since I liked RX11744 better.
Definitely more exciting than the 1982 MRJB. Beautiful combination of tropical fruits, some caramel and milk chocolate, a little bit of mint and surprisingly little wood for 45 years old. I like well but is me 1. overall still a bit too thin and 2. is the price of 700 € RRP for me not justified...
Ein leckerer Rum, ohne ein Komplexitätswunder zu sein. Die Kombination aus weichem Mundgefühl und bitterem Nachgeschmack ist zwar interessant, aber die Rum-Cracks verpassen auch nichts, wenn sie diesen Rum nicht im Glas hatten. Cognac- oder Whisky-Fans wird er vermutlich gefallen. Der Preis liegt mit 699 Euro für 0,5 Liter ganz am Ende der Fahnenstange. Für einen Rum aus dem Jahr 1977 in der Theorie vielleicht angemessen, aber mir persönlich viel zu teuer. Unabhängig vom Preis gefällt mir die 77er-Abfüllung dennoch etwas besser als der 82er MRJB, der im Mund einfach durchgerauscht ist.
