Flensburg Rum Company Barbados & Jamaica
Most people land in the same place on this Barbados-Jamaica blend: pleasant, sweet and easy, but on the thin side. You get caramel, coconut, vanilla and a bit of honey, with Barbados clearly leading and the Jamaican funk barely showing. One taster called it "soft and smooth," others wished it had more body. A gentle, budget-friendly starter rather than something to dig into.

Sweet, easy Barbados-led blend, a bit thin Well-made, sweet entry blend that most find easy but a touch thin. Barbados dominates, Jamaica hides. A few noticed some alcohol bite; others liked the value.

Received as a sample with an order. Thin and yet alcoholic. Unpleasantly sweet on the palate. Can't finish it. Comes in the next cake.
Review by DomM
Blend is well made. Barbados is dominating. Not bad but nothing exiting either.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Jamaica comes through with me little. Nevertheless round thing and an easy sipper
Review by Rumpalumpa
On the nose, it is really very restrained. Jamaica is practically not noticeable. Besides some caramel, after a while coconut stands out. On the palate somewhat sweetish and a very harmonious blend, now Jamaica also comes to the fore. Shame about the nose!
Review by Rumbaer
Number 17 from the Tastillery Advent calendar. You smell it and think you are in Barbados. Great coconut notes, fruitiness and a nice spice with some wood in the finish. I like it very much. I find the FRC with additional Panama share even a notch better.
Review by Caroni.Martin
Incredible value for money Falls off a bit at the end but for the money it's very very tasty!
Review by primus
Molasses-heavy sweet rum that probably aims to please a broad audience. On the nose you recognize sweetness and a bit of Barbados. Taste-wise flat and sweet, quite caramel-like with a hint of honey aroma. Wasn't a firework.
Review by Stefan Graßl
Taste relatively flat
Review by Gregor
A little too sweet. But powerful aromas. Very nicely blended.
Review by Andreas Hintze
A bit thin, little body. Light color.
Review by Lukas Jäger
A bit thin, can't really present the strengths of the countries. Certainly a good and affordable blend for beginners.
Review by Mentalo
Good entry-level rum. Barbados clearly dominates with lots of sweetness, coconut and vanilla. Unfortunately way too thin for me.
Review by Mikode
Nice sharpness, pleasant sweetness. I like it 👍
Review by Montana
The color is quite light, a slight golden hue. A rather sharp and slightly alcoholic smell, only slightly sweet. The taste is a bit sweeter, lightly honeyed, but the finish is quite burning.
Review by Wernie
Delicious sipping rum, quite sweet and roasty.
Review by nick_nick1
Smell extremely alcoholic. Not very pleasant. Sharpness but not too harsh. Slightly sweeter finish. Drinkable... but not a top candidate.
