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.

Der komische Kalender Tag 21 Ich vergebe heute ein gut, weil ich diesen mehr als angenehm fand.

#4169 This is a very light rum without it being boring.
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 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 Leo Krüper
Light, woody, alcoholic. A rum that embodies the 80s. Interesting, but nothing more.
