Rum Albrecht Burke‘s Jamaica Rum
Most tasters land in the same spot: a young, white, fierce Jamaican that's all ester, banana, glue and solvent, with a salty olive note several pin to Hampden. At 75% it's hot and very dry. Nearly everyone says the same thing — too intense to sip neat, but a lot of fun in an overproof daiquiri.
- Big ester funk
- Banana and solvent
- Great cocktail base

Fierce 75% Jamaican, built for mixing Funky, high-proof and undeniably tasty, but the consensus is clear: too sharp and alcoholic to drink neat. Most people reach for it as a powerful cocktail base instead.

Review by Jakob
Kein ganz ungewöhnlicher junger Jamaikaner. Zwar mit den zu erwartenden fruchtigen Esternoten, die ins vergorene drehen, dazu aber auch mit leicht mineralischen Noten, die an Olive erinnern und ebenso floralen Anklängen. Die 75% sind trotz der vorhanden Schärfe gut integriert. Eine spannende Auswahl, die sich als Overproof-Rum für aussergewöhnliche Cocktails anbieten dürfte.

Tja ein kleines Highlight doch nochmal zum Schluß. Netter Highproof Rum. Hat ordentlich Wumms, kann ich mir gut als Mixer vorstellen. Mit einer der Favoriten aus dem Blind Sample Set. Tolle interessante Auswahl, wobei die Masse eher nicht meinen Geschmack getroffen hat.
Review by Jarek
Blind Tasting Set von Johannes (danke dafür): Nase mit Frucht (Banane?), Klebstoff und Lösungsmittel. Ordentlich Power. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr stark, geschätzt um die 70%. Ester, Frucht, etwas pflanzlich und kein Holz. Gar nicht schlecht.
Review by Gregor
Sehr stark estrig. Muss mit Wodka oder korn verdünnt werden. Pur zu stark
Review by SaibotZtar
Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No.9 Lecker Fruchtig Blumig Florale frische Nase ... Erdbeeren, Zitrone , Säure , unreife Banane und Esternotes. Hier auch relativ hoher ABV (geschätzt 67-72%) Am Gaumen Sehr trocken im Mund .... etwas Alkoholisch stechend (nicht schlimm) . Frucht eher weniger dafür Ester aber irgendetwie nicht die typischen (Jamaica und co) mmh ... Bitternoten und Schokolade im Abgang.

Blind tasting #9: funky, tropical fruits and solvent on the nose. High proof Jamaica. As I get quite some banana - worthy park maybe?🤔 On the palate I‘m more in Hampden territory. Akin to Rum Fire 🤔what ever it is, it is quite tasty (and very high proof). Good one. Cheers, Johannes for the set - was a blast to taste.
Review by Leo Krüper
Habe einen Hampden HGML hier in Nase und Gaumen. Zum pur trinken ist er mir zu intensiv und alkoholisch. Als Mixer sicher gut geeignet.
Review by Mirco
Johannes Bild Tasting. Besten Dank für diese Gelegenheit! 😊 Ordentlich ABV, mit schönen Früchten und Ester. Bringt im Cocktail bestimmt ordentlich Komplexität mir. Pur etwas anstrengend. Jamaica Funk ist zwar da, aber nicht typisch & klar erkennbar für mich.
Review by Thunderbird
Johannes Blind-Tasting Nr.9: Puhhh… der riecht und schmeckt heftig nach Alkohol..Ester und Schärfe ist ebenfalls vorhanden… Er scheint ein sehr hohes ABV zi baben und ist dementsprechend auch sehr adstringierend. Der taugt wie der Vorgänger mit der Nr.8 maximal zum mixen. Pur kaum genießbar
