    How does this rum taste?

    Red Heart Special Reserve is a Jamaican rum distilled from molasses and bottled by United Rum Merchants Ltd., featuring a 43% ABV. Renowned for its woody and spicy aroma, this rum offers hints of nutty, glue, and dried fruit notes. The flavor profile is equally intriguing, blending spicy and woody tastes with burnt sugar and tropical pineapple undertones. Despite its complex character, user reviews suggest a somewhat linear experience, with a mild, fruity palate and a short finish. While some appreciate its easy-drinking nature, others find it lacks depth and power, reflective of Jamaican rum traditions.

    Light, woody, alcoholic. A rum that embodies the 80s. Interesting, but nothing more.

    Tasting evening with Dr. Django (Jamaica): Well, there's not too much to say about this bottling... it's just too one-dimensional. No flavor stands out or gives you any pleasure on the palate. Too bad

    Der Komische Adventskalender Tag 21 Fruchtig Florale Nase … riecht fast nach Virgin Oak jedenfalls für mich nach frischem Holz . Vanille eine angenehme Süße und paar Früchte sind zu schmecken. Der Jamaica Funk ist hier eher zu erahnen als wirklich zu schmecken.

    #4169 This is a very light rum without it being boring.
