Naga Pearl Of Jakarta Triple Wood

Heavily sweet with honey, vanilla, and cherry notes leading the way, though some RumX users find the profile veering too sugary. One to try if you enjoy cherry sweetness, mild wood, and contrasts between fruity and spicy rum.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Honig, Vanille und Holz
    • chut po tresnich, zajimavy
    • Very smooth, decent notes all the way through

    Pearl Of Jakarta Triple Wood from Naga distillery splits opinion in RumX tastings, but certain notes ring out: pronounced sweetness with honey, caramel and obvious vanilla, layered over strong fruity elements (especially cherry). Several highlight its cherry character—“chuť po trešních, zajímavý” (Pavel Peknica)—while others detect “Honig, Vanille und Holz in Nase und Gaumen” (@Skyfly). There’s frequent talk of sherry or fruit schnapps on the nose, and a few find subtle spice or even “smoked bacon with vanilla” (Rado Vito). Texture trends toward easy-drinking, though many find it too sweet or “grenzwertig süß” (@crazyforgoodbooze), and comparisons crop up—think “wie Zacapa” (RumX user) or a whisper of mezcal. The finish tends to be short, minting lovers and detractors alike.

    "It’s first aged for 3 years in teak barrels, then for 4 years in ex-Bourbon oak barrels and finally finished during one year in former Sherry barrels. Overall a little bit better than expected, but unfortunately a little bit too sweet for my taste. "

    "Auch relativ süss dieser Rum, aber alles noch im Rahmen. Man hat hier Honig, Vanille und Karamell in der Nase. Kommt für mich im Gaumen dann noch eine schöne Bienenwabe dazu und auch Lakritze ist zu schmecken. Ganz ok."

    "Interesting citrus aroma with citrus and honey highlights. Some spices. Very unusual taste, quite salty. It's very sweet and has distinct sweet and sour taste. The licorice and anise are present in this rum and I'm really not a fan of these."

    "Etwas verwirrend, aber interessant. Ich bekomme alle möglichen Assoziationen an unterschiedliche Spirituosen. Darunter Rhum Agricole und Mezcal. Dies setzt sich, wenn auch zurückhaltend, am Gaumen fort. Recht süß"
