One taster called it a "very smooth Jamaican blend" with only moderate funk, and that sums it up. You get glue and ester on the nose, then banana, cherry and cookie-dough sweetness, with a woody, faintly smoky finish. Several members flag the New Yarmouth share carrying it. At 57.9% it's full-proof but rounder than most Jamaicans — some find it easy, others miss the fruit.

How does CDI Jamaica 2008 taste?
Summarized by AI from 24 community reviews.
Smooth, moderate-funk Jamaican at full proof Most call it an easy, rounded Jamaican with real cask strength but tamer funk. Good value; one or two find it a bit forgettable and short on fruit.

A good introduction to Jamaica in Full Proof. The New Yarmouth part comes across very well. Easy sipping all-rounder!

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Cherry banana cookie high ester grenade. Really nice value for money Jamaica single cask blend. New Yarmouth brings the cookie dough and the other components add the necessary funky aroma. Top value for money, very smooth neat and great for Mai Tai!

05.07.2019 A little private get together to enjoy a few rums. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, roasted, light chocolate, fruits, faint caramel, light ester. Palate Warm, light wood, roasted, fruits, light bitter, ester, medium dry, light smoke. Finish Medium to long, wood, faint smoke, ester, medium dry, faint chocolate, fruits.
Review by Leo Krüper
Nice blend with a mild finish for Jamaican standards. Makes it super easy to drink. Surely great for beginners. Nose also quite sweet. Due to the lack of edges, I have few criticisms but also few plus points. Tomorrow I probably won't remember the taste of this rum anymore. Overall a very round rum with very good value for money.
Review by Daniel
Nose: clearly glue, esters and subtle tropical fruit. Taste: clear difference from the nose; little fruit, sour and woody notes. Finish: smoky, dirty, but also honey. Jamaican that reminds more of Guyana than Jamaica. Lacks the otherwise typical fruity notes.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
A very good Jam but lacking evolution and fruitiness to reach the greats like New Yarmouth.
