"Very mild and calm Jamaica" is how one taster sums it up, and that fits: 35 years in the barrel has sanded off most of the ester and left a lot of oak. Expect cappuccino, nuts and chocolate up front, then tropical fruit, citrus and a woody, tannic, faintly mineral finish. More an old-rum experience than an everyday pour.

- Cappuccino and nuts

How does The Whisky Agency & The Nectar Very Fine Old Jamaican Rum 1977 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Old, woody, calm Jamaican with light ester Well-liked but calm — heavy oak and tannins with only a whisper of Jamaican ester. Most enjoy tasting a 1977 distillate, though a few say it's an experience more than a bottle to own.

03.03.2018 A wonderful day with my friend from Singapore at the whisky.dk event in my hometown. Notes: Pretty nice rum my friend brought for us to taste. Despite the relative ABV the profile is light and fruity with nice balance. Finish is medium long and lightly dry.

Very mild and calm Jamaica
Review by Martin Ekrt
The nose is nicely mature with tropical fruit, vanilla, woodiness and a bit of esters. Taste quite woody at first, lots of tannins, but then tropical fruit, esters, chemistry, citrus. Finishes mineral, woody, coconut, spices, grapefruit. If I had to guess, it might be Clarendon, but God knows.
Review by Martin Doležal
I'm tasting it again after a year. It's better than I remember. sweet tones, reminiscent of cappuccino, a bit of nutsand chocolate. It's not bad, but it's not worth getting a bottle. However, it's an experience to drink something that was distilled in 1977.
Review by Happy Oner
Little ester, lots of wood and bourbon, very enjoyable
