CDI Jamaica 5 years

It's really strange that the diluted and slightly sweetened version here simply performs significantly worse than the overproof version. Unfortunately, I don't understand the 15g dosage here at all, hence the slight deductions.

Clarendon and Worthy Park rums. 10g of added sugar per liter. This is an initiation for those unfamiliar with Jamaicans. It's well-made and consensual. However, if you like Jamaican esters, you'll have to pass.

Quite normal average rum from Compagnie des Indes. Also goes down the throat well. Tastes slightly woody to me, like many other rums ;-) Well, the finish is also very short. You can bring it.

Despite the added sugar, a very interesting rum. Drinkable and distinguished from other rums.

Very pleasant nose - overall the whole bottling seems to focus on accessibility, and it succeeds very well. Lots of honey and wood, esters are very subtle, but Jamaica is still clearly recognizable. In the foreground, however, the focus is on fruit brandy/grappa. In terms of taste, the added sugar suits it well, takes away the alcoholic sharpness and turns the sweetness into honey. However, this may be the biggest drawback for some, as it is comparatively sweet. Very nicely integrated fruit liqueur note. Rightly in the CDI core range.

Lots of barique on the nose, grape and chocolate. Consistent on the palate. Relatively good integration of alcohol. A flawless rum, a little bitter on the finish but pleasant to drink. A little too sweet for me, though. Still, a bit too much

Young Jamaican on the nose and palate. Too bad for the added sugar, you can smell it. Not crazy, I used it to introduce Jamaica to friends who are afraid of degrees. +0.5 for value for money. What can you find for 40 bucks these days?

Spannende Abwechslung an der Nase. Am Gaumen zu Beginn alkoholisch, wechselt der Rum schnell zum Honig, welcher sich dominierend hält. Für einen Jamaikaner noch sehr human in der Ausprägung der Aromen.

A medicinal smell, somewhat alcoholic after glue, fruity after cherry, wood and ester. The taste is surprisingly sweet, oily and honey-like.

Pas mon style

Some burnt rubber, coconut. Dark amber pour. Sweetness caramel in the mouth. Oak. Some banana probably. Had a glass of this at Honi Honi in Edmonton. Was better than the Rum Nation Jamaican I had just before this.
