Navy Island Worthy Park & Hampden & Monymusk Jamaica XO

The Navy Island Jamaican Rum XO is a blend of pot and column still rums from Worthy Park, Hampden and Moneymusk. The rum is named after Navy Island, a small tropical island near the coast of Jamaica once owned by Errol Flynn. It’s matured in ex bourbon casks and bottled at just 40% ABV.

Zu verwässert

The rum has a light golden hue. A strong oily sweet smell, heavy, very pleasant. The taste is quite sweet, the body is rather light, tasting somewhat of pastry. A very tasty drop...

sehr scharf und metallisch an der Nase trotz Trinkstärke. in Geschmack eher dünn und verwässert, leider kaum Frucht, kaum funk eher nur Fass, Tannine, minimal birne und banane und metallisch und nicht gut zu trinken. überzeugt mich absolut gar nicht.

17.05.2019 Nice get together at my place with nice spread of rums. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, sweet, light roasted wood, light earthy, banana, light caramel. Palate Light, wood, light roasted, fruity, sweet, light nutts, faint chocolate, faint grass, light tobacco, citrus. Finish Medium long, light, sweet, oily, light wood, citrus, faint chocolate, light caramel, vanilla.

7,5:The nose, well balanced, opens with a beautiful, extremely ripe banana. The rum is slightly coppery and above all brioche-like, with long ribbons of ripe exotic fruit.We could say Worthy Park like. Airing brings milk chocolate, a creamy texture and pastry aromas. Cherries are followed by black tea and dried banana. 7,5:The palate is very smooth, a typically Jamaican rum, gourmet with honey pastry and brioche flavors (prunes, candied fruit, custard, cherry, malted cereals). 7,4:The finish is pretty long, with flambéed, dried banana, accompanied by a sweet pineapple juice, little spicy.

JoA there are better but also worse ones. A few esters are recognizable and there is also a clear fruity note. Unfortunately, the product is very watered down. Absolutely thin. A few percent more could really have made this blend much better

Jetzt gibt es noch einen alten Hut. Habe den Rum vor zwei Jahren schon Mal gezecht. Da hab ich ihn mit 8.0 bewertet. Jetzt ein wenig abgewertet ist mir ein bisschen zu süß und es gibt deutlich bessere. Im Geruch sehr fruchtig und im Geschmack vorallem Pfirsich der heraus sticht

Relatively thin, but you can clearly taste worthy park.

Surpris dans le bon sens du terme par ce produit. Je pensais tomber sur un rhum grand public édulcoré et épicé. Il n en est rien. C est un blend issu de distilleries Jamaïcaines renommée. C est bien rond autour du fruité exotique, un boisé grillé doux et de très légère notes fumées et d Esters.

Nose starts with a very intense grain/barley note to it. After some time in the Glas it is dominated by the WP component somewhat fighting with sour Hampden pineapples in my mind. Taste is very sweet and vanilla forwards. Some wood and only the lightest hint of fruits.

Typischer Jamaicaner. tropisch-fruchtig in der Nase. Am Gaumen Banane, Vanille und Getreide. Pur ist er OK, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Für tropische Cocktails super. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist gut.

After some time again neat tasted - I had more pleasant and rounder in memory. Still: good, intense and powerful mixer. Bought it because I've been to Navy Island on Jamaica some years ago 😉

Got this rum as a sample from 24 days of rum advent calendat. And it was is an interesting blend of WP, Hampden and Monymusk. On nose, I felt a typical Hampden, esters cannot be denied by any means. On palate, this one loses the score and it is a bit sharp in the finish, but nevertheless this is an interesting blend.

Naslazená karamelová vůně s ananasem a marcipánem. Chuťově to není průšvih, ale je to lehce na hraně, kdy bych řekl, že to je nějaký laciný alkohol. Je znát nevyzrálost. Závěr docela fajn s kombinací melasy a marcipánu, ananasu a hrušky.
