Spahns Scotchwarehouse Jamaika Rum (Monastrell Cask) 2020
Sip this neat and the ester hits first — pure Jamaican glue and overripe fruit on the nose — then the Monastrell red-wine cask swings in with dark, sweetish dried apricot, dates and something that reads like port. Members guess Hampden or New Yarmouth for the wild distillate. A couple find the sour-acidic side a touch much, but most call the wine-cask-and-funk pairing a proper match.

How does Spahns Scotchwarehouse Jamaika Rum (Monastrell Cask) 2020 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Ester-heavy Jamaican with a bold red-wine finish Funk chasers dig the ester-meets-red-wine combo, and several rate the value highly. One taster finds it too sour and thinks it sat a bit long in the cask.

Spahn's Jamaica Rum. If only our former health minister had been even half as capable as this rum, we would have been spared a lot :-) At least in the nose for me only esters to smell. On the palate, fruits and red wine come in.

Tried at the 12th GRF: red wine finish very dominant, from memory I would guess a Hampden.
Review by zabo
From the nose, I would guess a DOK. But there is a strange smell added that I can't place right now. I think it was in the barrel too long. At first it has a funk, but only briefly, then the sourness dominates. Not my thing. For the price actually great.
Review by Johannes
High ester with such a finish fits very well together! Could be a New Yarmouth!
Review by Andi
Price-performance really good, lots of volume percent for 40€, I bought the rum with the idea to pimp some cocktails that need a bit of Jamaica.
Review by Lot-NAS
A nice interplay of wild distillate and the heavy but sweet Monastrell finish, which (at least for me) in combination rather reminds of port wine. Maybe a Hampden? Either way, very tasty. Value for money definitely 10/10.
