United Rum Merchants Ltd. Red Heart Special Reserve
If you like your Jamaican quiet, this is a gentle one. The nose reads Jamaican — fresh wood, vanilla, a little mango and green apple — but the funk is more hinted at than tasted, and several members felt it was thinned down. On the palate you get cinnamon spice, oak and a soft vanilla sweetness before a short finish. One taster sums it up as "a very light rum without it being boring".

How does United Rum Merchants Ltd. Red Heart Special Reserve taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Light, spicy Jamaican with faint funk Opinions land around "pleasant but restrained": easy to drink, spice and vanilla up front, but a few find it too diluted and one-dimensional. No standout note carries it.

Review by SaibotZtar
Der Komische Adventskalender Tag 21 Fruchtig Florale Nase … riecht fast nach Virgin Oak jedenfalls für mich nach frischem Holz . Vanille eine angenehme Süße und paar Früchte sind zu schmecken. Der Jamaica Funk ist hier eher zu erahnen als wirklich zu schmecken.
Review by w00tAN
Nase: Süß, Vanille, frisches Holz und am Ende eine alkoholische Note. Joar Ester kann man vielleicht erahnen. Mund: Mild, fruchtig, dann kräuterige Würze auf der Zunge. Abgang eher kurz von dem aber eine leichte Schärfe auf der Zunge zurückbleibt.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting evening with Dr. Django (Jamaica): Well, there's not too much to say about this bottling... it's just too one-dimensional. No flavor stands out or gives you any pleasure on the palate. Too bad
Review by Jarek
In der Nase ein Jamaikaner, am Gaumen war ich mir nicht mehr so sicher. Habe eien Bles vermutet. Könnte besser sei wenn er nicht so verdünnt wäre.
Review by Leo Krüper
Light, woody, alcoholic. A rum that embodies the 80s. Interesting, but nothing more.
