    How does this rum taste?

    What stands out most for reviewers of the Jamaica Single Cask Selection is its bold tropical fruit character, led by notes of banana, pineapple, and citrus, partnered with the signature Jamaican ester profile. Many mention a satisfying balance between fruity aromas and technical, slightly "funky" flavors, while the cask-strength ABV brings warmth and a lingering finish. It's especially popular for sipping neat and comes highly recommended for Jamaican rum enthusiasts seeking depth, complexity, and limited edition appeal.

    I have to be honest. With this rum, I only decided whether I liked it or not. And this rum is great (I'm happy for the whole bottle). Love the combination of technical and chocolate flavors. If you have chance to try it... just do so.
