Aroma visualization from community tastings
Navy Island Jamaica Navy Strength
Ripe banana, dark chocolate and roasted, peppery esters — a Jamaican pot-still blend at 57% that tastes unmistakably of the island. Several tasters catch honey, vanilla and candied fruit alongside the funk, kept in moderation rather than over the top. The one recurring gripe: the alcohol isn't fully knitted in yet, so it reads a touch young with rough edges. A splash of water softens it nicely.
The community says- Ripe banana esters
- Dark chocolate palate
- Keep in mind: Alcohol sticks out

How does Navy Island Jamaica Navy Strength taste?

Funky Jamaican pot-still, banana and chocolate Most find it a proper, funky Jamaican with banana, chocolate and roasted notes at a fair strength. A few note the alcohol sticks out and it drinks a little young.

Nice surprise! Fruity, woody, coffee and seems to me a slight roastiness. Alcohol not integrated as well as it could be.

Molasses is what I smell. My wife, raisins. I am still working out the flavors. The 11 various pots might be a few too many, as I’m not quite there on the taste.
Review by Stefan Persson
This Jamaican pot still rum at ABV 57% is a blend of distillates from Hampden, Worthy Park and Monymusk. It’s aged in former bourbon barrels. The color is deep amber with a little help from added color otherwise there’s no flavoring additives. The finish is rather long and it’s very dry in the very end. Overall a well balanced full bodied Jamaican rum without being extremely heavy with taste of esters.
Review by zabo
So I must say that he has not really appealed to me pure, but in the CubaLibre I find him not so bad. But there are also better for it. This has so just managed the hurdle over the 7ner mark.
Review by Timo Groeger
Now it's getting a bit better. On the nose we have esters with some banana, also honey and caramel and if you draw too deep, a lot of alcohol ;-) On the palate then a different picture. Spicy and woody it is, also we have solvent and dark chocolate.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Pretty good rum considering the price tag. I like the smoky wood on the palate with some fruit and vanilla. The chocolate becomes very clear in the empty glass.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Beautiful Jamaican. Unlike what one is used to, vanilla also stands out particularly clearly from the expected ester fruit basket. Although I prefer Jamaica in cocktails, I also think it's great neat!
Review by Johannes
A really good Jamaican blend! I can definitely taste Worthy Park and Hampden.
Review by Renato
A very typical Jamaican rum, pleasant with softness without excess.
Review by Fasen
Hampden well behaved and supple. All right!
Review by akkisz
nice fruity Caribbean nose, esters etc. fun, strong. ripe banana, also good with some water, making it softer. somewhat short finish. a bit young with edges. but also chocolate. definitely recommendable! nice and easy to drink!
Review by Torsten vom Endt
This rum fulfills everything you can expect from a British blended still. Spicy in taste but not too much, a slightly fruity red note. The sweetness stays discreet in the background and the spices are well balanced. The high alcohol content is hardly noticeable. Too good for mixing. The price-performance ratio is excellent.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, a legendary Jamaican distiller that produces rum as well as alcohol for perfume. In all the rums from this distillery you will taste wild esters, after which your whole organism will soak up the smell of golden tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the "must try before you die" rums
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly sweet with caramel and grape jelly on the nose. The taste is also unusually sweet and fruity, but also somewhat artificial and burnt. For me, definitely on a par with the CDI Jamaica navy strength but also completely different in terms of profile.
Review by Gregor
Beautiful complex representative. For me personally, a very well done product. Incredibly complex. Beautiful long taste
Review by Stan Hardy
Better than its little brother.
Review by Rumantisch
Beautiful tropical-fruity nose. Pineapple, banana, clearly good ester funk. Glue, solvent. On the palate it becomes spicier and more woody but still lots of ester and fruity hints. In the finish it turns peppery and spicy, almost no fruit left.
Review by Robin Törnqvist
The scent is somewhat reminiscent of unaged Hampden Rum fire. Guessing that the spirit is quite young. The color is deceiving as it should contain dyes. Quite ok anyway!

Un Jamaicain typique
Review by Roman Staroń
Interesting blend proposal from Jamaica. Very good with a cigar.
Review by TheJackDrop
Nice real jam
Review by StormAK
Jamaican aroma, overripe bananas, fruits, caramel.
Review by alexbool
Intense and strong. Jamaican - you can never mistake it for something else. Funky, but in moderation, not over the top. Ripe banana, dried mango, candied fruit, peppery tingle, pastry. A touch of wood and vanilla. Sweet but not too much. I like it a lot!
Review by Perkoz206
The alcohol cover the rest
Review by Jerome Lacroix
Jamaica ok 57°, yet it manages to find a form of roundness on the palate, spicy banana coffee present, short finish interesting even curious good surprise.
Review by Azrael1802
Completely fine for the price-performance ratio, the alcohol could be a bit better integrated. In the fruits, wood, coffee, on the palate yellow fruits, wood, a nice spicy finish. The nose was better than the palate, but a solid rum.
Review by Martinelli Dimitri
Blonde from 11 rum
Review by Richard Krupa
Sweet and good for its strength
Review by Dominic Lutz
On the nose, intense and clear Jamaican funk with distinctly definable ester notes, some nail polish, and tropical fruit. On the palate, noticeably more power than the XO, but the alcohol is less nicely integrated. Along with dried fruits, banana, roasted wood, and a slight sweetness. The finish is long and strong, but the three rums are quite different stylistically. For me, interesting but not quite as balanced as the Pusser’s.
Review by Rumbaron
I detect notes of strawberries and cherries and peaches and plums, joined by delicious notes of sticky caramel and vanilla and chocolate.
Review by Montana
A strong smell of esters, forbidden fruits, somewhat alcoholic. The taste is strong, dark chocolate, roasted aromas, a bit peppery.
Review by Guhli
The nose is brilliant. Baked banana. The alcohol is really well integrated for 57%.
