CDI Jamaica 2012

Here's the twist: for a cask-strength Jamaican, this one holds back on the funk. Members peg it as a Worthy Park / Clarendon blend that's bright and fruity — banana, tropical fruit, a little chocolate — but with the esters dialed down rather than screaming. At 63.7% it's a big pour; a couple of tasters found it just slightly too hot, most called it an easy sipper.

The community says
  • Bright tropical fruit
  • Cask strength

The look inside the bottle

How does CDI Jamaica 2012 taste?

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.

Fruity Jamaican blend, funk on the low side A well-made Jamaican blend most enjoy, though a few find the esters weaker than expected and the alcohol not fully tucked in. Good, not the island's best.

Perfect for

Jamaican fans who like fruit over heavy funk

Less suitable for

ester chasers wanting a full hogo bomb

Ganz schönes Brett. Schön intensiv. Keiner Fehler. Gute Ecken und kanten. Ein klein wenig zu stark für mich persönlich (auch wenn ich sonst immer meckere das mir die meisten zu schwach sind 🙃)

Muss eine Mischung aus Worthy Park und Clarendon sein. Schön spritzig fruchtig aber wenig esterlastig. Mir gefällt er ganz gut aber kein herausragender Blend aus Jamaika.

WOW..Hardly thrilled. The one or other percent too strong for me. But still really good

Gut gemachter Jamaika-Blend, bei dem Clarendon etwas dominant erscheint.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`.
