7.0/10

A subtle sweetness at the start, funk, delicious dried fruit, tannins and a slightly smoky undertone that reminds me strongly of whisky. The finish is spicy with a surprisingly long metallic aftertaste. For whisky fans, this is certainly an ideal introduction to Jamaica rums, but somehow seems incomplete to me. In a direct comparison, I would always give priority to the WP Single Estate.

A fruity aroma, somewhat sweet, esters with some glue. The taste is slightly sweet and fruity, with a surprisingly bitter finish.

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.
