Georg Bestle Blended Jamaica Rhum
One for collectors chasing old Jamaican curiosities, not for anyone hoping to actually enjoy a pour. At 80% this is mostly raw alcohol with a whisper of vanilla and woody glue behind it — several tasters flag an off-note that reads like cheese or old feet on the finish. Water pulls out a little fruit, but there's not much underneath. Most just wanted to say they'd tried it.

- But: Searing 80% heat
- But: Off cheese note

The look inside the bottle
How does Georg Bestle Blended Jamaica Rhum taste?
Summarized by AI from 10 community reviews.
Harsh 80% curiosity, more alcohol than rum Verdict is near-unanimous: harsh neutral alcohol with a nasty off-note and little rum character. One member sums it up — "not much going on taste wise." A curiosity, not a drinker.

Review by zabo
Edit: Not bad at all with cola 😉 Nikis and Arturs Jamaican adventures part 2. First of all, a big thanks again for the chance to have such rarities in the glass. To get straight to the point, Jamaican rum decades ago wasn't the rum you know today from Jamaica, but still very interesting to try. These aren't really top-notch, but still more than drinkable.
Review by cigares
A rum from the "Niki's und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2" series. Lots of alcohol on the nose, wood glue, sawdust. Nothing subtle here. The alcohol attacks hard on the palate and dominates almost everything. The finish is short and leaves a footy smell. With a little water, everything improves, and fruit notes even appear.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nikis and Arturs Jamaican Aventurien No10 Boom, there is really alcohol in play here. Piercing first impression on the nose... then comes some fruit, ester, caramel, roasted nuts and honeycombs. On the palate similar game, first very strong alcoholic and piercing. Some fruit honey here too... Not easy to drink.
Review by Frederic
There is still some vamille in the nose, but the off-note is already hidden behind it, which becomes apparent later. Tastes extremely like cheese feet. That's the only reason to give it a few points at all. Every rum drinker should try it :)
Review by Leo Krüper
Smells like an old bum buying cheap booze with trembling hands in front of you in the supermarket. Strong alcohol and urine smell. Then a few chemical notes in the taste. Probably intended as a baking ingredient. A terrible rum to drink.
Review by Jakob
Flavored neutral alcohol with a rich, biting alcohol punch that is not tamed even by the very massive sweetening. Actually, after the "enjoyment" of this bottling, I am left with only one question: Why?
Review by Mirco
Tasting by Niki and Arturs Aventurien part 2. Many thanks for the opportunity to try these old curiosities & rarities! 😊 No. 10 Neutral alcohol with some vanilla and glue. Can be skipped. 😅
Review by Johannes
High proof, lots of neutral alcohol, some vanillin, but not much more.
Review by DomM
No bueno. Strong with not much going on taste wise.
