In cola it works fine — one taster reckons the more cola, the better — but neat it's a curiosity more than a keeper. The nose is fresh vanilla with lemon and orange; the palate turns mildly sweet with a distinct orange note (one reviewer likened it to an orange liqueur), a touch of spice and young wood, then fades short. Nobody guessed Jamaica blind.
The community says- Orange-vanilla nose
- But: Short finish
- But: Thin, watery palate

Orange-vanilla column-still, better in cola than neat A vintage bottling most enjoyed as a mixer, not a sipper — pleasant orange and vanilla, but thin, short and nothing anyone needs a whole bottle of.

The comic advent calendar day 17 I've wanted to try this one for a long time... I would never have come across "Jamaica" blind 😇😇 great to be able to try it, but it's not something I would need a whole bottle of.

The funny calendar day 17 Another original Captain. Very nice to have this in the glass again. Unfortunately reduced again. I would be very interested in something like this in cask strength.
Review by Skyfly
Jamaica ohne Hampden Tasting: als Mixer trinkbar, aber nichts besonderes. Je mehr Cola, desto besser im Geschmack. Sehr alkoholisch mit Zitrusfrüchten (Orange) und Holzeinfluss. Trotz alkoholischer Nase verwässert in Geschmack

Interesting, but not my rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
08.11.2007 Had a 2 week trip around Vietnam to enjoy the local culture and food. We were staying very local so everything was extremely cheap. Needless to say that bars didn't have the expensive stuff because most locals couldn't afford it. This one was also a pass on sipping. It did really well in a Mojito and Pina Colada.

The nose is fresh vanilla, sweetly fruity like lemon or orange. Mildly sweet on the palate, although I clearly imagine orange here (a bit like Grand Manier or Contreau). Then a little spice. All in all, quite short. Alcohol is well integrated.
