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.

For an Untouched Rum a really very fine thing

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.

Guter Einstieg für die Jamaica Rum Welt, gute Balance, nicht zu komplex und trotzdem genügend Holz, Frucht und Esther Noten.

nicht schlecht aber einfach zu schwach für einen gute Jamaicaner

Mein erster Jamaikaner und einer der ersten ungesüßesten Rum. War überrascht wie angenehm er sich trinken lässt. Pfeffrig Würzig im Geschmack, allerdings auch mit einer vorhandenen Schärfe.

In der Nase sehr feine Ester, fruchtig und würzig. Insgesamt wohl auch für Ester-Einsteiger gut geeignet. Für mich dann doch etwas zu harmlos wenn sich sehr angenehm. Auch am Gaumen bleibt er seicht, weist aber die typischen Aromen auf: leichte Ester, die Würzigkeit von Anis, etwas süßes von Honig und eine leicht Rauheit von Leder. Klar dass durch die starke Verdünnung auf nur 40% viel verloren gegangen ist. Als Einstieg in die Jamaika Geschmackswelt aber gut geeignet.

fruité au nez et esters présents. au goût, assez fruité et avec pas mal d'arômes et un côté épicé. style jamaïcain mais doux. trop dilué. payé 30€ en promotion, bon rapport q/p.

This is a good quality clean rum that is not a load of added suger but flavour is rum ... Sadly the market has overtaken this one This blends the Hampden flavour that feel muted down . I would us this to introduce the funk of Jamaica 🇯🇲

Déçu par ce rhum. Peut être en cocktails, pour faire ressortir ses effluves. Le 40% est très intense en première bouche mais manque le pep’s d’un jamaïquain. La longueur en bouche est quasi nulle. Le prix va avec le produit. Plutôt basic voir très basic.
