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.

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.

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.

4.3/10

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.

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.

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.
