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.

The community says
  • Easy and smooth
  • Coconut and vanilla
  • Keep in mind: Thin body

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.

Blend is well made. Barbados is dominating. Not bad but nothing exiting either.

Jamaica comes through with me little. Nevertheless round thing and an easy sipper

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!

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.

Incredible value for money Falls off a bit at the end but for the money it's very very tasty!

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.

A bit thin, can't really present the strengths of the countries. Certainly a good and affordable blend for beginners.

Good entry-level rum. Barbados clearly dominates with lots of sweetness, coconut and vanilla. Unfortunately way too thin for me.

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.

Smell extremely alcoholic. Not very pleasant. Sharpness but not too harsh. Slightly sweeter finish. Drinkable... but not a top candidate.
