„Beautiful navy strength Jamaican. Great value for money and surprisingly mild for the young age and the 57%. Very complex and a nice introduction to the overproof Jamaica world!“

„A more interesting nose than the Latino and the Caribbean with more fruit and less sweetness, a side of rum grapes.A mouth with vivacity but a very well integrated alcohol. A light funky and some esters. A finish and an empty glass with a taste of Mezcal.interesting and a good surprise.Tasted again with other Jamaican and still disappointing.“

„Esthers medium on the nose with a pastry side almost cereal, I still do not have this side banana on ripe so typical of Jamaicans. On the palate, the milky smoothness gives way to a licorice bitterness before finishing on fruits. At 50 euros it is a sure value.“

„Jamaican with unbeatable price performance. The nose does not quite pick me up, has a little too strong Agricoleanlänge for my taste, but on the palate awaits a beautiful Jamaikablend with a pleasant sweetness, which is also super as an introduction to higher-proof and ester-containing rums.“

„In my quest for a decent navy strength I had a tasting of this one while I was out rum shopping. Not super impressed. It’s pot still and apparently won some award back in 2015 but the taste is pretty mediocre. Too much sharpness, almost like a youngish column still jamaican and the alcohol is not particularly well integrated. The TCRL 2013 Jamaica Navy is better, smith & cross is better, and if you want a demerara flair to your navy strength pusser’s gunpowder is also far better. There’s way better options than this in the navy strength category.“

„Au nez, pas de doute on est en Jamaïque avec ses bananes mûres et ses notes d’esters à la pelle. On retrouve d’autres fruits exotiques (noix de coco …) ainsi que de la fraîcheur mentholée-solvantée et de la vanille. Le nez est plutôt encourageant. En bouche, l’attaque est franche et agréable. C’est moins sur les fruits tropicaux mais plus sur les fruits confits et les zestes d’agrumes. Mais on retrouve le funky de la Jamaïque, de la réglisse et un effet « médicament ». La finale est plutôt réussie. On garde du jolis boisé en bouche, des épices et le tout agrémenté d’eucalyptus.“

„In der Nase Jamaica Einstieg - Banane, Ester, Frucht und bisschen medizinisch. Am Gaumen für die 57% überraschend mild für das Preissegment. Herrlich trocken, viel Banane aber dezenter Funk. Schwierig wenn man mehr kennt - aber ein sehr schöner Start.“
