The Whisky Jury Jamaica & Guyana 1995
Sip this one neat and slow — it's a 30-year-old Jamaica-Guyana blend built for relaxed evenings, not fireworks. Banana and tropical fruit from the Jamaican side sit next to chocolate, molasses and toffee from the Guyanese, with the esters way in the background. Three decades in the cask sanded off every edge. Several tasters call it a high-end easy sipper — and wonder if the low proof holds it back.

Smooth aged Jamaica-Guyana blend, a touch light Members agree the balance is near-perfect and it drinks beautifully easy, but many wish for more proof and depth — one even says it'd pass for bourbon blind.

Man erkennt beide Bestandteile, jedoch harmonieren diese nicht sonderlich gut miteinander. Auch hier hätten die einzelnen Bestandteile getrennt voneinander wohl besser funktioniert. Hätte deutlich höhere Ester erwartet

I was very curious about this allem blend and at the same time skeptical because of the low alcohol content. Jamaica is noticeable on the nose and palate if you know it. The long time in the barrel has taken the edges off the rum. In a blind tasting with bourbon, the rum would probably pass as a submarine. In my view, good but nothing more.
Review by Banana Joe
After the last blend of LongPond and Hampden didn’t do it for me at all, I was skeptical here. Unjustified, absolutely convincing harmonious blend. The early marriage and then 30 years of aging in the cask were just right. Also, thanks to the low ABV, it’s absolutely suitable as a high-level daily sipper. I’d guess Port Mourant and a Clarendon here. Esters can be perceived very subtly in the background. I really like it.
Review by zabo
Ein Blend von Whisky Jury, der mich leider nicht wirklich überzeugen konnte. Irgendwie ist diese Abfüllung nichts halbes und nix ganzes. Die Marker sind zwar schon erkennbar, aber für mich passt es nicht zu 100% zusammen
Review by Djehey
Ah je le trouve bien sympa celui là. Plutôt détendu mais il ne manque pas d'intérêt. Un cote fruité, frais et beurré au nez. Plus sur le fruit en bouche avec une pointe d'ester et piment. Final moyenne et sèche mais porté par les fruits et la douceur. Mélange soft mais cool.
Review by mto75
Nice, well-balanced blend. A few more degrees might have brought out even more depth and complexity.
Review by Schnubbii
Wow, what is this? Low-ester Jamaica meets Guyana, and in the most relaxed way possible. This is probably the most expensive and at the same time highest quality easy sipper I've had in a glass so far. The fruitiness of the Jamaican perfectly complements the profile of the Guyana. A really nice one, but for a relaxed (high-quality) easy sipper, it's almost a bit too pricey.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
26/06/2026: Road Rummers Supertasting @ TastToe. It becomes immediately clear that the balance of this blend is near perfect. The Jamaican part could have easily overpowered it, but it's not the case here. The Guyanese profile shines through as well. Very well done, but the current price is too high for me.
Review by Stijn Zino
Nice balance/blend. Long finish. A bit too light.
Review by Jacques etdom
Au nez un guyana relativement present et porté sur le chocolat, accompagné de ce qui semble etre un clarendon, avec son fruité reconnaissable. En bouche, le clarendpn a legerement le dessus. Assez huileux en bouche. Une touche saline, un peu etrange, en milieu et fin de bouche. Ce n est pas mauvais, mais un degré d alcool bien trop bas pour que ce blend soit interessant. Quant au prix, il est beaucoup trop elevé par rapport au resultat final.
