Nice funky Jamaican rum. Easily drinkable. I recommend this especially if you’ve not tried Jamaican rum.

This is an ok rum, but nothing extraordinary for me.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Medová sladkost, belgické pralinky, turecký med, mandle, za tím i trocha kokosu. (84 b)
Chuť: Sušší, než bych dle vůně očekával. Čokoláda, těžší dřevo, v dochuti dřevitě větrový. (80 b)
Body: 82/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnán s kamarádem na naší zářijové akci. Žádný zázrak tahle značka, ošklivá lahev ukrývá nic moc rum, navíc levný taky není. Ale pořád lepší než verze 007, která je kvalitou srovnatelná, stojí litr a má lepší jen tu lahev. Čili slovy klasika: naprosto zbytečná záležitost.

As a mixer this is really good - makes one hell of a dark and stormy. As a sipper - totally one dimensional and flat tasting very very little of that Jamaica funk. So i will split the difference in my rating. 8 as a mixer and 4 as a sipper.

Vůně chemoprén, dub, ovoce, vanilka
Chuť kořenitá, ovocná, jablka, třešně, lehce technika, tabák, ořechy v cukru, čokoláda, pendrek
Dochuť dřevitě nasládlá, kratší
Ne tak výrazný, ale chutný, takový "baby funk" 😁

Nothing crazy to share about this rum. Slight funk on the nose with caramel, molasses, and vanilla.
Loved it. I need to find the 007 edition to see the difference.

Coming in at $40 US I had a lot of expectations on what this rum should be, and while it didn’t meet the expectations I had, it didn’t certainly didn’t disappoint.
The website doesn’t give a ton of information, but after scouring online it seems this rum is aged anywhere from 1-3 years. How ever long it’s aged it’s surprisingly smooth with little heat. It doesn’t take fake and adulterated like the Gosling Black Seal rum and in fact, it had a wonderful balance of sweet and funk with a dry finish. I got a lot of caramel and burnt toffee up front with a dry sweet vanilla finish.
So far I’ve just drank it neat but I’m very curious to see how it adds to a jungle bird or Mai Tai.
This is a functional black rum for mixing. Nice color and finish.

Finally the Caribbean taste I was looking for. Fruity , thick and hint of spice going down. I took it neat but with a cube it I bet it would be pleasant under a palm tree on the beach. Definitely one I will stock.

It only took a half ounce pour to convince me

I went to a very well stocked rum bar this afternoon. This was one of three that I tried and they were out of the other three on my list. This was the darkest and tastiest of all three. The WOW factor for me was quite high. In a close second place was Appleton 21 Year. In a distant third place was St. Nicholas Abbey 10 Year, the lightest of the three.
This is a mildly spiced and slightly sweet Jamaican rum. The hogo funk is kept to a bare minimum. I was so impressed with it that I went looking for my own bottle afterwards, all to no avail. Somehow, I eventually found my own bottles.
Update May 7, 2019: Using one's imagination, this one can also be used as a Tiki topper in drinks whereby 2 parts of coconut water are used to save 1 part of white rum rated in one's lower third of their ratings. I would have included a gorgeous picture of this drink, but being so late after the initial review is not allowed. This Tiki topper simply puts any average tasting drink over the top!
Update May 21, 2019: Out of the two dozen rums that wound up in my top ten percent in my ratings, this one stands head and shoulders above all the rest when it comes to value (aka QPR). I make a toast to Mr Chris Blackwell for creating this fine rum that is also very affordable!
Update May 3, 2020: This may be my best tasting spiced rum, but at my advanced age, I can no longer handle any spiced rum unless it is in very serious moderation. My rating still stands however.
