Most tasters land somewhere between "curious relic" and "let-down" on this one — and that's the honest verdict. It's an old bottling that drinks nothing like the Jamaican rum you know today: bitter burnt caramel, molasses and a little hazelnut over a thin, watery body. Several members peg it as unaged and artificially colored. Worth trying as a piece of history, not for the liquid.
The community says- Historical curiosity
- But: Thin, watery body

How does J. Selga Torras, Manresa Ron Jamaica Superior taste?
Summarized by AI from 11 community reviews.
Thin, bitter-caramel relic more curio than drink The consensus is muted: one-dimensional, thin, and likely unaged with added color. A few enjoyed it as a rarity to sample once — nobody's restocking.

Review by zabo
Nikis and Arturs Jamaican adventures part 2. First of all, a big thank you again for the chance to have such rarities in the glass. To put it simply, Jamaican rum decades ago was not the rum you know from Jamaica today, but still very interesting to try. These are not really top-notch, but still more than drinkable.
Review by cigares
A rum from the "Niki's und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2" series. The nose is not at all Jamaican, more molasses and bitter caramel. On the palate, the impression is of wood, but on analysis it's more the mixture of molasses and bitter caramel that gives this sensation. The finish is rather long, but still on the same flavors. A rather one-sided rum, but rather pleasant, as Spanish rons can be.
Review by Jakob
A release characterized by very heavy sweetness, molasses, maple syrup - overall rather disappointing and too one-dimensional. Wood and spices are only rudimentarily recognizable and practically drowned in the sweetness - or the base distillate was indeed exceptionally uninspired. Anyway - unfortunately an below-average product ends up in the glass.
Review by Mirco
Tasting by Niki and Arturs Aventurien Part 2. Many thanks for the opportunity to try these old curiosities & rarities! 😊 No. 1 Bitter, burnt caramel, some almond. Seems very thin. I suspect the rum is not old and is colored.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nikis and Artur's Jamaican Aventurien No1. Sweet nose with red fruits and a bit of acidity. Very weak but lots of sweetness... tastes like baking flavor smells. Pretty weird 🤣
Review by Johannes
Nikis and Arturs Jamaican adventures part 2: somewhat bitter, molasses, burnt caramel, coffee, some artificial aromas, probably not really aged.
Review by Leo Krüper
Colored unaged rum from the 50s. Some caramel, hazelnut and molasses on the palate. Everything points to Spanish style. Could also come from Central America. Overall very watery and undefined.
Review by Frederic
A bit musty on the palate, shows a slight sweetness and roasted aromas of molasses. Definitely nothing I would buy but nice to have tried something like this. The dark color is definitely not real!
Review by DomM
Very much burnt caramel forwards throughout. Nicer than contemporary unaged and colored rums but not outstanding besides this.
