Velier Papalin Jamaica High Esters 2019
Most love its funky pineapple-banana profile, great price and well-integrated 57% ABV. Critics find it a bit young, dry and not wildly complex. Consensus: excellent high-ester value bottle.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who want an affordable, honest blend for both sipping and cocktails, and who enjoy dry, fruity, slightly salty profiles at higher ABV.

How does this rum taste?
Affordable gateway into real Jamaican funk
If you enjoy Hampden or Worthy Park funk and want a cheaper, slightly wild blend, this gives you big pineapple and cookie-dough notes without going fully extreme or industrial.
Those sensitive to higher ABV, beginners new to funky Jamaicans, or drinkers seeking sweet, mellow rums with lots of oak smoothness and zero youthful bite.
I am incredibly impressed. This blend is an excellent example of high ester rums but it doesn’t veer into the overly industrial side of things. Great tropical fruits, spices, and a touch of that weird glue funk to bring it all together. The aroma fills the room as soon as your pour it.

Very nice Jamaican rum
21.1.2025 famozni fragrance (kanagom jemnounky), I can stand to smell it all evening brutal flavour (bulldozer on the tongue, like two rollers with a crusher on an iron dump) Velier and Jamaica = an irresistible combination
Ester, pineapple, citrus. Little wood, little spice, little glue/varnish. Dry, almost salty profile, well-integrated alcohol compared to a Smith&Cross-type Navy strength.
A great experience with Club Lille rum. Quite a lot of esters without being a bomb, nice exotic fruits, especially pineapple, some spices at the end to spice up the taste. Medium finish, a little dry perhaps.
