A newcomer-friendly historical curiosity: a likely unaged, colored molasses rum from the 1950s. RumX members describe heavy burnt caramel, molasses and sweetness with a thin, simple palate—interesting more for history than flavour depth.

6.7/10

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.

Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2: etwas bitter, Melasse, verbranntes Karamell, Kaffee, etwas künstliche Aromen, wahrscheinlich nicht wirklich gelagert.

Very much burnt caramel forwards throughout. Nicer than contemporary unaged and colored rums but not outstanding besides this.

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.

5.5/10

Ein Release geprägt von sehr schwerer Süsse, Melasse, Ahornsirup - insgesamt doch eher enttäuschend und zu eindimensional. Holz und sind Gewürze sind nur rudimentär erkennbar und geradezu in der Süsse ertränkt - oder das Ausgangsdestillat war in der Tat aussergewöhnlich uninspiriert. Wie auch immer - im Glas landet leider ein unterdurchschnittliches Produkt.

Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2. Zu erst Mal wieder ein dickes Dankeschön für die Chance solche Raritäten im Glas zu haben. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, war Jamaikanischer Rum vor Jahrzehnten nicht der Rum, den man heutzutage aus Jamaika kennt, denoch sehr interessant diesen zu probieren. Diese sind nicht wirklich spitzenmäßig, aber denoch mehr als Trinkerbar.
