Rum Albrecht Green Bay Echter Jamaica Rum

Old-Jamaica hunters will want this one on the table — it drinks like a curiosity from another era, and members say so. Cold-fireplace smoke, damp wood and old saddle leather lead, with a dusty, musty "cellar" note that needs air to settle. Underneath sit yellow fruit, a little plum and date. Dry, heavy and idiosyncratic at 54% — the nose promises more than the palate delivers.

How does Rum Albrecht Green Bay Echter Jamaica Rum taste?

Summarized by AI from 10 community reviews.

Dry, smoky, leathery old-school Jamaican Tasters land on the same word: interesting. A dry, leathery, musty old Jamaican that rewards patience — though a few found the alcohol not fully integrated and the palate thinner than the nose.

A rum from the "Niki's und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2" series. A nose of smoke and damp wood, old leather (horse saddle), but also tropical fruit and apple. The palate starts with yellow fruit, then a creosote (cold chimney) note appears. The finish is on wood, ash and yellow fruit. The alcohol is far from perfectly integrated, and the nose promises more than the palate has to offer.

Nikis and Arturs Jamaican adventures part 2. First of all, a big thank you again for the chance to have such rarities in the glass. To put it simply, Jamaican rum decades ago was not the rum you know from Jamaica today, but still very interesting to try. These are not really top-notch, but still more than drinkable.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.
