Carribean Rum Shippers Ltd. Kingston Carib Sailer Rum
Overripe banana and old varnished wood on the nose, with citrus and a touch of light ester — a window into what Jamaican rum tasted like decades ago rather than the loud pot-still style you know today. Several tasters peg it as Clarendon: gentler and softer than a modern Appleton, with yellow fruit and spice on the palate. The catch is a short, faintly bitter finish that gives away caramel coloring.

How does Carribean Rum Shippers Ltd. Kingston Carib Sailer Rum taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Soft vintage-Jamaica curiosity, quiet palate A curiosity more than a knockout — decent nose, quieter palate, and a bitter coloring note at the end. Rated fair; enjoyed mostly for its vintage-Jamaica time-capsule appeal.

Review by cigares
Un rhum de la série “Niki’s und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2”. Un nez de banane trop mûre, de vieux bois vernis avec des fruits jaunes. En bouche les arômes sont discrets mais assez équilibrés avec des épices et toujours les fruits jaunes et le vieux bois vernis. On sent la dilution. La finale est sur le caramel amer, les épices.
Review by Johannes
Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2: Nase Clarendon. Gaumen etwas bitter, adstringierend, ganz leichte Früchte, würzig, würde ich auf Clarendon tippen.
Review by Jakob
Frische Nase mit reichlich Zitrusfrüchten. Am Gaumen zudem Tropenfrüchte, auch schwere gelbe Früchte, etwas Holz, zudem Gewürzanklänge. Für die Trinkstärke sogar mit ganz passabler Komplexität, insgesamt aber dennoch etwas zu verhalten.
Review by DomM
Nicely balanced and lively profile. Only downside is a rather bitter finish hinting to some caramel coloring.
Review by Leo Krüper
Als Jamaicaner erkennbar. Schmeckt etwas wie ein würziger Appleton, aber nicht aus der Pot Still. Sondern wesentlich geschmeidiger und weicher wie aus der Column Still. Hintenraus wieder Melasse/ Zuckercoleur Geschmack, den gefärbte Rums leider haben.
Review by Frederic
Interessante Rarität, die etwas an weichgespülte heutige Worthy Park erinnert. Am Gaumen sehr schwierig zu beschrieben. Etwas von der Banane bleibt hängen aber ansonsten kommt da nicht mehr viel. Auch der Abgang ist dann sehr kurz
Review by Mirco
Verkostung von Niki und Arturs Aventurien Teil 2. Besten Dank für die Möglichkeit diese alten Kuriositäten & Raritäten zu probieren! 😊 Nr. 3 Hier ein Rum, den man Jamaica zuordnen kann wie man es auch heute z.T kennt.
Review by zabo
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 SaibotZtar
Nikis und Arturs Jamaicanische Aventurien No3. Nase sehr Florale, Erdig und kantig . Vanille Karamell Zitrusfrüchte sogar leichte Ester riecht oxidiert. Erinnert an Clarendon. Am Gaumen deutlich langweiliger ... Sehr leicht etwas Vanille, Floral etwas grüner Pfeffer etwas muffig. Nase gefällig ... Gaumen eher nicht
