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.

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.

Interesting, but not my rum.
Review by w00tAN
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.

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.
