Island Signature Yellow Snake

Fruity Jamaican nose, light peppery sip

RumX members note a fruity, ester-driven nose with banana and tropical fruit. Light, peppery palate with mirabelle and wood; easy to enjoy, though some find the finish watery and thin.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the approachable Jamaican character here: a fruity, ester-kissed nose of banana and tropical fruit leads to a light palate with mirabelle, gentle wood and peppery spice. Many call it a good gateway to Jamaican rums or a solid cocktail base. While some find the finish watery and the 40% ABV a bit tame, its value and easy-drinking style make it a rising pick across 46 reviews.

    6.9/10 48 reviews

    #5813 29.09.2025 Day three of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is a sweet yet very light profile. Fresh and fruity with nice spices and light floral notes. Not really my type of rum.

    For the price, a great offer In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Ester, Sweet, Tropical fruit, Green apple, Banana On the palate: Light, Mirabelle plum, Fruit brandy Finish: Sweet, Spicy, Mirabelle plum

    Nose: Very fruity with slight hints of Jamaican funk. Palate: spicy, peppery. Finish: medium-long, warm and light. I like the nose better than the palate. I raised my original rating from 6.5 to 7.0 because it's not outstanding but it's typical of Jamaica.

    It's not bad. It drinks well. It can help those who don't know Jamaicans to discover them. For my part, I find it too "light". It clearly lacks watts. The aromas aren't strong enough.
