“This is a retaste and I stick to my score. Pretty good rum from Habitation. The nose is wonderfully fruity with the typical funk, ester and glue and maybe some varnish/polish in the back. The palate is complex and well balanced, again with a nice funk and lots of fruits. A bit dry with wood and wet hay. The finish is long and fruity with a tad of funk and wood.”

“Crass combination of apple and banana on the nose. Behind it hides a slight licorice note. The taste can not quite keep up, but the banana and great fruitiness remains.”

“The kind of powerful, aromatic white rum we love. Worthy Park flexes its muscles with this bottling, which is full-bodied, intense and funky on the nose. Phenolic and ferm notes combine with brine and ripe tropical fruit, while a hint of spice and freshness counterbalance the extreme profile. It's cleaver, dirty and provocative all at once. The attack on the palate is lively, astringent and explosive. This is clearly a rum of great aroma, with multiple facets: exotic fruits, phenolic and fermentation flavors, spices and saltiness, floral notes... it's a veritable cocktail of flavors, extremely rich. The alcohol is very well integrated. The extremely long finish is adorned with honeyed, spicy, salty, earthy, grassy, smoky and even metallic notes of copper. The Jamaican funk is ever present, both brutal and exuberant. A veritable festival of flavors for an extreme aromatic profile that's also extremely tasty. Needless to say, cocktails with this rum become immediately more exciting.”

“Ein Rum mit sehr viel Power und einer recht breitgefächerten Aromatik. Macht eine sehr gute Daiquiri. Profitiert pur meiner Meinung nach von ein paar Tropfen Wasser. Öliges Mundgefühl und langer Nachgeschmack”

“Nosing reveals a combination of fruits, spices and chemistry. Starts off with all kinds of banana accompanied by red and green apple. Sharpness is further introduced with sour raspberries and later light vinegar notes. There’s a bit of sweet herbaceousness from sugarcane, as well as wood and smoke from juniper. A touch of aniseed wraps up the spicy profile. We continue with chemical notes, primarily hot glue and polish, but also some rubber and burnt plastic. Sipping initially overwhelms the tastebuds with harsh butyric acid, quickly redeveloping into more pleasant notes. More hot glue, rubber, polish and vinegar. And eventually again banana and spicy, woody notes from anise and juniper. Finish is light and dry. The pharmacy shuts down and high quality honey and raspberry are reintroduced. This is a very strong and wild unaged rum that has many applications in mixology, but can also be enjoyed neat.”

“In der Nase definitiv anspruchsvoller als im Geschmack und auch nicht der neue Lieblingsrum; aber trotzdem eine spannende Sache! Beim Geruch wird man neben den ganzen Fruchtnoten den Eindruck von Olivenlake/Dirty Martini nicht los.”

“Le nez est puissant et porté par des notes de fruits exotiques (banane principalement) ainsi qu’un côté plus végétal et de la colle. Une bombe aromatique avec des saveurs lourdes de fruits sur-mûris. En bouche, c’est complexe et équilibré. Ce sont de nouveau les fruits sur-mûris qui s’expriment le plus. A cela s’ajoute un peu d’olives vertes et du bois humide. C’est chaud et beau. La finale est très longue, elle tapisse toute la bouche avec le funk jamaïcain et un peu de boisé-épicé. Que dire de plus hormis que c’est une bombe à retardement ? A ne pas mettre dans toutes les mains.”

“Von der ersten Nase her, erinnerte er mich an ein Erkältungsbad, das typische Erkennungszeichen von einem Pinimentholbadezusatz. Aber eher dezent. Ester ist auch klar erkennbar, aber nicht so Intensiv wie beim Hampden DOK, den ich vorher verkostet habe. Vom Geschmack ist er funky und intensiv mit einer leichten Süße. Der Abgang ist eher kurz. Bestimmt auch ein guter Mixer.”

“Jamaika - Stark ausgeprägtes Potpourri aus Lack, Estern aber vor allem Früchten. Beiläufig Tabak & Honig. Herrliches Hochestererlebnis. Zu Beginn weiß er durch deutliche Fruchtsüße zu gefallen, bevor sich der Honig durchsetzt. Dieser gewinnt mit Zeit immer mehr an Süße/Intensität. Am Ende rauchige Noten. Kaufempfehlung! Obwohl ungelagert, kann man für den Preis nichts falsch machen. Ob pur oder auch im Cocktail, funky Trinkerlebnis.”
