Vagabond Spirits Off-Road Rhum Series #02.1
Blind, a few tasters wouldn't even call this rum — one found a gin-like, herbal-spicy note in the long finish. It's a cask-strength Barbados/Jamaica blend, but the Bajan side mostly vanishes; Jamaican banana, wood, candied fruit and licorice run the show. The marriage feels loose to several people, like two rums sitting side by side rather than blended.
- Candied fruit, licorice
- Spicy long finish
- Well-made base blend

How does Vagabond Spirits Off-Road Rhum Series #02.1 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Woody, Jamaica-heavy blend that runs hot A decent, woody Jamaica-led blend that splits opinion: the Barbados barely shows and the two halves don't fully knit. Tasty in parts, but hot and a bit disjointed.

Review by TheJackDrop
A fine discovery, it has all the makings of a great one. The balsam of Venice clearly adds an interesting touch, and the blend is very well crafted! Watch out for Off Road... To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Coconut, Woody, Dried apricot Mouth: Woody, Cigar, Candied fruit, Licorice, Salty Finish: Salty, Fruity, Woody
Review by Johannes
Ein guter Blend! Worthy Park dominiert, Barbados kann ich nicht wirklich rausschmecken.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Hmm, it's really a bit difficult to classify. I wonder if it's because of the cup I'm tasting it from, as I don't have a glass. 😉 So the cup means I can't make an olfactory assessment. On the palate, however, I always find the rum better the longer it stands. It's somehow thin and spicy at the same time, but has a very interesting spicy note in the long finish that somehow makes me think of gin. Tasted blind, I wouldn't necessarily have guessed rum. Interesting! Oh, and this is a rum that doesn't seem at all suitable for cocktails - unless you're a freak who likes to experiment 😉.
Review by Thunderbird
A relatively pleasant blend, although the Barbados component is almost imperceptible! The nose is quite restrained with a little fruit. On the palate, I perceive burnt caramel, a little wood and spice. Almost no fruit at all. The alcohol is well integrated, light and smooth. The finish is relatively short and unspectacular. Jamaica is definitely dominant in this blend
Review by Djehey
Au départ, un côté assez alcoolisé pas très agréable. On sent la Barbade et la Jamaïque mais la puissance donne davantage la place à la Jamaïque. Un côté citronné améliore l'équilibre. Manque de rondeur à mon goût.
Review by Jacques etdom
Blend foursquare jamaique qui donne l impression que les deux sont apposés l un à côté de l autre et non mariés. Marqueur jamaicain banane flambée présent qui ressort un peu trop pour moi. J attendais un peu plus le côté iodé que je m attendais à trouver. Un bon rhum.
Review by zabo
Mhm difficult again. The two components are not clearly recognizable for me here. Still quite nice on the nose, but no real highlight for me in terms of taste. Somehow it tastes a bit like tobacco or an ashtray in the finish.
Review by Banana Joe
Unharmonisch, obwohl bisher für mich Barbados und Jamaica gut zusammen gepasst haben. Aber irgendetwas stört hier die Harmonie. Für mich auch trotz des jungen Alters sehr holzig. Alkohol könnte auch besser eingebunden sein. Schon ihn mal probiert zu haben, mehr davon brauche ich aber nicht.
