    "Sehr kräftig. Der Alkohol erstickt alles. Kaum Aroma da und wenn dann nur künstliche gesüßte Aromen. Durch den Alkohol bildet man sich etwas Pfeffer ein, aber kann auch nur die alkoholische Schärfe sein. Sicher eher als Backzutat geeignet. Quasi kein Charakter erkennbar."

    "Un rhum de la série “Niki’s und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2”. Un nez fruité avec des fruits jaunes, surtout de la pomme. Une certaine sucrosité apparaît en bouche avec des épices et du bois jeune. La finale est sur les fruits et la sucrosité mais aussi sur les épices et la pomme. Un rhum simple mais équilibré. Peut-être avec ajoût de sucre ?"

    "Verkostung von Niki und Arturs Aventurien Teil 2. Besten Dank für die Möglichkeit diese alten Kuriositäten & Raritäten zu probieren! 😊 Nr. 9 Die Alkohol-Integration ist hier nicht gelungen. Auch ist der Rum geschmacklich ziemlich flach."

    "Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2. Zu erst Mal wieder ein dickes Dankeschön für die Chance solche Raritäten im Glas zu haben. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, war Jamaikanischer Rum vor Jahrzehnten nicht der Rum, den man heutzutage aus Jamaika kennt, denoch sehr interessant diesen zu probieren. Diese sind nicht wirklich spitzenmäßig, aber denoch mehr als Trinkerbar."
