Georg Bestle Blended Jamaica Rhum
Curiosity seekers and collectors of oddities are the only real audience here. At a searing 80%, this old-style Jamaican reads more like flavored neutral alcohol than rum — a burst of glue and sawdust on the nose, a little vanilla, then a stinging spirit that flattens almost everything. Several tasters flag a distinct cheesy-feet off-note in the finish. A few drops of water coax out faint fruit, but not much.</snapshot> <parameter name="review">Most owners land on the same verdict: strong, harsh, and thin on flavor. One member sums it up as "not much going on taste wise" — worth trying once as a curiosity, not for pleasure.
The community says- Historical curiosity
- But: Brutally hot
- But: Off cheesy note

Review by SaibotZtar
Nikis und Arturs Jamaicanische Aventurien No10 Wuuums hier ist richtig Alkohol im Spiel. Stechend der erste Eindruck in der Nase... dann kommt etwas Frucht Ester Karamell, geröstete Nüsse und Honigwaben . Am Gaumen Ähnliche Spiel , erstmal sehr kräftig Alkoholisch und stechend. Etwas Frucht Honig auch hier ... Nicht einfach zu trinken.

Edit: Mit Cola gar nicht mal so schlecht 😉 Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2. Zu erst Mal wieder ein dickes Dankeschön für die Chance solche Raritäten im Glas zu haben. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, war Jamaikanischer Rum vor Jahrzehnten nicht der Rum, den man heutzutage aus Jamaika kennt, denoch sehr interessant diesen zu probieren. Diese sind nicht wirklich spitzenmäßig, aber denoch mehr als Trinkerbar.
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 Jakob
Aromatisierter Neutralalkohol mit sattem, beissenden Alkoholeinschlag, der selbst durch die sehr massige Süssung nicht eingefangen wird. Eigentlich bleibt mir nach dem „Genuss“ dieser Abfüllung nur eine Frage: Warum?
Review by Johannes
Hochprozentig, viel Neutralalkohol, etwas Vanillin, aber auch nicht viel mehr.
Review by DomM
No bueno. Strong with not much going on taste wise.
Review by Mirco
Verkostung von Niki und Arturs Aventurien Teil 2. Besten Dank für die Möglichkeit diese alten Kuriositäten & Raritäten zu probieren! 😊 Nr. 10 Neutralalkohol mit etwas Vanille und Kleber. Kann man auslassen. 😅
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 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 :)
