Often recommended for both newcomers and fans of Jamaican rum, it captures the quintessential Jamaican "funk" without added sugars or artificial coloring.

“I am a total beginner in the Jamaican style and I found it very pleasant with a very nice balance between tropical fruits, esters and wood. The 40% reduction did not prevent a nice length in the mouth.”

“Good and inexpensive entry into Jamaica Rums, if it should not immediately be an ester bomb. Well comparable with the Plantation Xamayca. Quite flat profile and watery consistency which is offset by the good price-performance ratio.”
