Rum Nation Jamaica 5 Years (Pot Still Rum)
"A fresh and fruity rum with light ester notes," as one Danish taster put it — and that's the gist. This cask-strength Jamaican leans gentle for the island: a bit of grass and citrus, oily sweetness, light wood and a spicy touch on the finish. Several found it an easy way into Jamaican funk without getting walloped, the 57.84% folded in well.
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Fruity, light ester
- Good daily sipper

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4272 28.09.2023 One of the samples from the Whisky N Rum Show in Copenhagen. Price to quality is pretty OK on this one. A fresh and fruity rum with light ester notes. The palate is naturally sweet and oily with fruity notes and a spicy touch. The finish is medium to long and sweet. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some licorice.
Review by Bavarian Rum Lover
Netter Daily Sipper, der gut als Einstiegsrum in die Welt der Jamaikaner herhalten kann. Leicht würzig und esterhaltig ohne zu überfordern. Gute intensive Alkoholstärke.

Meget tør i munden med frugtnoter i duften. Eftersmag af lakrids og fad.
