The Whisky Jury Sipper's Rum 2025
Rum drinkers who already like a bit of Jamaican funk but don't want it cranked to full intensity are the crowd here. Expect fermented tropical fruit, banana and pineapple, light esters, brown sugar and baking spice, with a chocolatey, herbal edge from the blend. Several tasters call the young Jamaican portion a touch hot and not fully knit, so it's estery enough that non-rum-drinkers will find it too filthy.
The community says- Fruity Jamaican esters
- Easy to sip
- But: Not very complex

How does The Whisky Jury Sipper's Rum 2025 taste?
Aggregated from 57 community reviews.
Easy, fruity Jamaican-funk sipper A well-liked everyday sipper: fruity Jamaican funk, spice and gentle sweetness at drinkable strength. Most find it tasty but not deep; the young component reads a bit hot and simple.

The nose gives hope, with beautiful fruity ester notes. A little unrounded on the palate, light esters, peach, marzipan, wood, bitter notes, in any case Jamaica dominates.

Leider ein totale Enttäuschung, geruch zuviel Acricole und sehr süß. Geschmacklich auch kein hit. Kann den komischen geschmack nichtmal wirklich beschreiben, absolut nicht mein fall. Ist die frage was ich aus dem rest der flasche mache😡 Schade, die letzten abfüllungen von WDC waren alle nicht so dolle... aber dafür teuer.
Review by Thunderbird
The name says it all and pretty much hits the mark. It definitely delivers what it promises. A sipper of the darker, spicy kind that can be enjoyed in a relaxed manner. This is partly due to the low ABV. Overall "nice"😉

Zu allererst einmal ein DICKES DANKESCHÖN an TheDunderHut, wieder bei dem Wird&Blind Set dabei gewesen zu sein. Zusammen mit DomM wurde sich dieser Aufgabe gestellt. Leider kein Einhorn dabei gewesen, aber tolle rare Sachen probiert, an die man sonst nicht so gut rankommt. Einzig die Geschichten zu jeden einzelnen Rum des Spliters dazu habe ich wirklich vermisst zu.
Review by Dr.Django
Ein schönes Etikett mit dem passenden Namen für diesen Rum. Würzig mit angenehmen fruchtigen Jamaika Estern. Ein leckerer easy Sipper. Der Alkohol ist nicht sehr gut eingebunden, liegt vllt an einem Anteil junger Jamaikaner im.Blend.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Dégustation au Limoges Spirits Festival 2025. 👃 & 😋 ⛳ 💡 Dans le genre Navy Rum, un excellent RQP sous les 50🍒 pour faire découvrir le style de rum mélangé. Haute valeur.
Review by Skyfly
Wie's der Name schon sagt: ein Easy-Sipping-Rum. Jamaikanischer Background von Nase bis Abgang zu erkennen. In der Nase Vergorenes, mit Estern und Tropischen Früchten. Im Gaumen mehr Gewürze, vor allem Piment. Im Abgang hat er etwas von Backgewürz.
Review by Schnubbii
Fermented fruit on the nose and very light marzipan like a Hampden C<>H. On the palate, the Jamaica component, which dominates the nose, recedes somewhat into the background, with sweetish aromas of a more Spanish style in the foreground. The youthfulness of the young part comes through somewhat and the finish is not very long. In the end, the individual components of the blend harmonize quite well with each other, the result is not bad, but doesn't knock you off your feet either. Not a bad blend for sipping, but I liked other comparable ones from Rumclub (Navy) or RdL better.
Review by Christian Rudt
Sippers Rum. Die Aromen in der Nase mit deutlich jamaikanischer Prägung. Ordentlich Ester Funk ist zu spüren dazu viel Würze. Diese überwiegt auch am Gaumen, schmiegt sich gut an und rutscht sanft den Gaumen runter. Der Name ist hier tatsächlich Programm. Könnte für meinen Geschmack am Gaumen mehr Frucht vertragen, aber da man länger am Produkt gearbeitet hatte sollte es wohl genau so sein. Und Geschmäcker sind verschieden. Schönes warmes Finish
Review by Julien Huitel 🇫🇷
Un classique à avoir sur l’étagère ! Nez expressif pour ce blend dont ressort la Jamaïque et la Barbade pour ma part ! En bouche une belle intensité ! Avec ses notes funky de la Jamaïque ! Finale courte à moyenne
Review by Leo Krüper
Does what it should. Uncomplicated sipper.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Ve vůni cítím jen mladou Jamajku. Možná esterový Clarendon nebo snad Hampden. Ostatní složky jsou upozaděné. Škoda, že vím jen to, že se jedná o blend Jamajky, Latinské Ameriky a Asie. V chuti tam krom jamajského rodokmenu taky nic moc nepoznávám. Nenáročný, přístupný rum.
Review by DomM
Solid blend. More on the low ester side. Nice texture with wood and some sweetness. Clarendon (?) spices and some fruits.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Solider Blend, der Jamaika Anteil lässt dich deutlich herausschmecken mit Noten von Frucht und ein paar Estern. Der Rum ist allerdings wenig komplex, eher easy sippin. Mir persönlich zudem zu süß und insgesamt zu gefällig.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
A rum good enough to only sip neat? Absolutely. Is this something I would pour for guests who don't know anything about rum? Probably not. It's way to funky/estery for that. Not for beginners imo. Nevertheless, I like it for what it is and for the price it's a very nice blend for sipping.
Review by Michal Jurka
Jamaica is coming through here, it's very tropical-fruity and estery.
Review by Stijn Zino
Interesting sipper. I'm getting strawberry and unaged vegetal things in the nose. Not something you would serve to non rum drinkers, it's too filthy for that.
Review by FischeJ
Nase besser als im Mund. Bisschen "funky", bisschen kräuterig, bisschen grasig. Wird mit der Zeit gefühlt schlechter. Aber im Allgemeinen solider Rum.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Weird and Blind #8 I received a really nice set from member TheDunderHut, where you never know what you're getting. It includes some lovely, special rums that I wouldn't normally try. I really enjoyed it. This sample: I was already very interested in this blend. I had already ordered it, but it was canceled. I think it's a very tasty blend. A delicious sipper with a bit of that Jamaican bite.
