Review by RumTaTa
Very good blend of Jamaican rums, very fruity and funky. At 46%, it is ideal for beginners who want to get to know Jamaican rum. At the same time, it is also interesting for connoisseurs who want to try their hand at tasting the different distilleries. If there were to be an unreduced bottling of this, I would be there in a heartbeat.
Review by Bene37
Fruchtiger Rum mit Tropenfrüchten in der Nase und im Abgang. Bleibt am Gaumen allerdings arg flach und kann da kaum überzeugen. Alles in allem ein netter Rum, der nichts verkehrt macht, mich aber auch nicht vom Hocker reißt. Tschuldigung, sehe jetzt erst, dass der gut hundert Euro kosten soll. Zu dem Preis kann ich nur sagen: Finger weg. 82/100 oder 5/10

07.02.2024 retasting at online tasting with Rest & Be Thankful. Nose Light roasted wood, fruits, light medicinal, faint tar. Palate Light roasted wood, fruits, light medicinal, naturally sweet. Finish Medium long, naturally sweet, citrus, light caramel, faint medicinal. Very thick slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some orange, mint, and light chocolate notes. -------------------- #4384 22.10.2023 Whisky Live 2023

Sehr fruchtige Nase, angenehm mit leichter Ester-Note. Am Gaumen wiederholt sich dieses: Tropische Früchte, sehr rund und weich, jedoch auch ein bisschen wässrig. Ein höheres ABVhötte im gut gestanden. Das PLV ist sehr durchschnittlich, da gibt es wirklich besseres für weniger Geld.
Review by MarcT
So this is the last one of the Rum&Co Sample Set, and the best one as well. In general I am quite fond of Jamaica and Funk, and this Rum has some of it. Not overly much, but enough to bring this natural sweetness, Ananas and Esters. It is suitable as a sipper and good as an entry to more eccentric Rums. The finish does provide a nice change by switching from fruit to wood, but that is expected looking at the age of the Blend.
Review by HenryL
Schön säuerliche Limette in der Nase mit etwas Mango süße, mit etwas mehr Zeit im Glas zunehmende Holznoten. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Im Mund recht süß aber nicht außerordentlich spektakulär. Etwas Banane, geröstetes Holz und Gewürze, dabei für 46% überraschend scharf. Wenn der Geschmack mit der Nase hätte mithalten können wäre ich sofort dabei gewesen, so ist er zwar lecker aber mir keinen Kauf wert.
Review by Oliver
Very inviting nose. Typical Jamaican associations (tropical fruits, especially pineapple, glue and pleasant vanilla notes from the barrel maturation). After 30 minutes, the aromas unfold even more. Quite creamy on the palate despite the reduction to 46%. A very nice rum for Jamaican beginners.
Review by DomM
Tasted during the RumX masterclass. Huge thanks the guys from R&BT for presenting their range! Very nice exploration of some low(we) ester marks. While some of the noses were a little light, the long aged expressions are very interesting on the palate across the board. Very interesting! :) Very well executed blend with a lot flavor on the plate despite the low ABV. Nice one.
Review by Thunderbird
Master tasting from Rest & Be Thankful via RumX This is an exceptional blend from four different Jamaican distilleries. It offers a broad spectrum of different aromas, but in my opinion it is too reduced. Without reduction, many flavors would certainly be added or be much more present. All in all, a good rum for beginners
Review by Alex1981
Creamy & slight ester notes on the nose. Citrus fruits. Gentle mouthfeel, still creamy and nice fruits on the pallate. A bit wood & spices. Easy sipper with a medium-short finish. With a bit higher abv would be really enjoyable :)
Review by LukaŽiga
8,2:On the nose, esters and solvents, fermented, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, citrus fruits, vegetal molasses, spicy, oaky roasted wood notes like pastry, cookie dough and caramel, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, lime and green fruits are out, grassy molasses, mineral, chocolate with cinnamon, some rubber. 7,9:On the palate, the attack is funky, medicinal with esters, rubber, slightly metallic, sweet, fruity with overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, red and citrus fruits, on oxidation mango and papaya, as the wood is roasted with caramel, pastry, spicy with vanilla and pepper, salty, the molasses is grassy with hay, vegetal with olive hints. 7,8:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, medicinal, the molasses is grassy, sweet with honey, the fruits are red, tropical and green, the wood is more roasted with caramel, confectionery, chocolate and roasted nuts, spicy..
Review by mto75
Nach dem RumX R&BT Tasting am 7.2. den Rest nochmal mit mehr Ruhe verkostet: Zum Einstieg den Assemblage. Ein Blend aus Clarendon, Long Pond, New Yarmouth und Worthy Park, alles mindestens 13 Jahre gereift. An der Nase Zitrusbrause, Kumquat, Milchcreme. Sandelholz. Am Gaumen würzig, fruchtig, recht mild. Leckerer, entspannter Sipper. Die 46% ABV passen hier gut.
Review by Tim
Ein Einsteigerrum mit reduziertem ABV. Fruchtlastig (saure Früchte wie Ananas, Zirtus, Apfel) und jung anmutend. Im Mund dominieren die Gewürze, wobei diese abrundend mit einer angenehmen Süße ergänzt werden. Im Abgang Schokolade, Honig, Banane, wunderbar kombiniert.
Review by Christian Rudt
Interessanter blend aus mehreren jamaikanischen Distillen der zwar reduziert mit 46% daher kommt, aber ausreichend Komplexität mitbringt. Für Einsteiger (tastings) vermutlich eine sehr gute Wahl schmeckt dieser Blend doch schlicht und einfach lecker. Deutlich stechen vor allem die Zitrusfrüchte in der Nase und die Banane am Gaumen welche doch stark an Worthy Park denken lässt, hervor.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Very intense on the nose, Jamaica for advanced. Overripe, fermented fruit, citric acidity, glue and tar. Lots going on in the mouth. The front half sweet and no longer so muddy fermented. Mango and tingly pineapple, generally lots of fruit sweetness and citrus freshness. The second half then estrous, funky, vanilla, tar, light spiciness, salt and banana. Wood only in the finish, medicinal and especially banana. Complex fun and yet surprisingly catchy. If you like tar & co. Addendum spontaneous Jamaica excursion: Shows where it can go in the dry direction. In retrospect, a little weak on the chest, but quite pleasant Sipper.
