Ester-forward Jamaican funk with tropical fruit and banana, framed by a dry red wine finish. Praised for value; a few find the youthful, cask-strength profile a touch sharp or thin.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this for its standout value and vibrant Jamaican funk: big esters, gluey notes, and tropical fruit with ripe banana. The Zweigelt red wine finish brings dry, tannic accents that round the profile without overpowering. At 64.3%, it’s punchy yet surprisingly coherent for its youth, enjoyed neat or in cocktails. Some note a youthful bite or lighter body. Backed by 44 reviews and a limited 1,347-bottle release.

    I didn't have high expectations, but these were clearly exceeded. The red wine barrel works wonderfully with the high-ester rum. I am even sure that the individual components were significantly worse than the overall product. Great craftsmanship. Very intensely drinkable high ester Jamaican rum with a restrained red wine note. The price alone deserves praise, of course. It's great that you can still experience something like this.

    Das hätte ein spannender weißer Rum werden können, aber der Rotwein macht alles kaputt.

    Nase: Hier drücken direkt nach Einschenken kraftvolle Klebstoffnoten, vergorenes Obst, gewisse tropische Noten, Banane, viele Ester und auch leichte Holznoten mit Weineinschlag. Mund: Sehr kraftvoller Antritt, pfeffrig, tropisch (gegrillte Ananas), ganz viel vergorenes Obst, etwas mehr auf holzigen, trockenen Seite, leichte Süße, die mit den Schlücken zunimmt. Abgang: mittellang, trocken, fruchtig, leichte Pfefferschärfe. Sehr rund für das Alter. Viel Geschmack drin und das für einen günstigen Ausgabekurs von ca 35 Eur/0,5l. Nachkaufempfehlung? Ja!

    Leckerer High Ester Worthy Park & Hampden Blend. Hatte bedenken mit dem Finish... doch Gott sei Dank ist es nicht sehr Dominant und rundet den Rum sogar etwas ab . Schöne Esterbombe mit viel Frucht . PLV ist hier besonders hervorzuheben!! Im Mai Tai sehr solide 3/5 . Edit: auch wenn das Finish hier zum Glück nicht überhand nimmt bin und bleibe ich kein Fan davon... paar Jahre und ohne Finish wäre hier definitiv eine 80+ Bewertung angebracht.
