Review by Daniel
Wer in die Rumwelt Jamaikas🇯🇲 eintauchen möchte, ist hier gut beraten. Schöner Einsteiger! Als junger Jamaikaner, weist der die typischen Geschmacksmerkmale auf ohne durch zu starke Ausprägungen zu verschrecken.
Review by Montana
The rum has a light golden hue. A strong oily sweet smell, heavy, very pleasant. The taste is quite sweet, the body is rather light, tasting somewhat of pastry. A very tasty drop...
Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:The nose, well balanced, opens with a beautiful, extremely ripe banana. The rum is slightly coppery and above all brioche-like, with long ribbons of ripe exotic fruit.We could say Worthy Park like. Airing brings milk chocolate, a creamy texture and pastry aromas. Cherries are followed by black tea and dried banana. 7,5:The palate is very smooth, a typically Jamaican rum, gourmet with honey pastry and brioche flavors (prunes, candied fruit, custard, cherry, malted cereals). 7,4:The finish is pretty long, with flambéed, dried banana, accompanied by a sweet pineapple juice, little spicy.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sehr scharf und metallisch an der Nase trotz Trinkstärke. in Geschmack eher dünn und verwässert, leider kaum Frucht, kaum funk eher nur Fass, Tannine, minimal birne und banane und metallisch und nicht gut zu trinken. überzeugt mich absolut gar nicht.
Review by Patrik Onderka
Got this rum as a sample from 24 days of rum advent calendat. And it was is an interesting blend of WP, Hampden and Monymusk. On nose, I felt a typical Hampden, esters cannot be denied by any means. On palate, this one loses the score and it is a bit sharp in the finish, but nevertheless this is an interesting blend.

Zu verwässert

A little far from the Jamaican markers, but very pleasant in its harmony!
Review by Mc Pirate
Light color, but what a nose! Very greedy with ripe banana, liqueur, almost fig! Very pronounced exotic fruit and very present sweetness. Stronger palate, very strong for a 40%! Softer, shorter finish.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Naslazená karamelová vůně s ananasem a marcipánem. Chuťově to není průšvih, ale je to lehce na hraně, kdy bych řekl, že to je nějaký laciný alkohol. Je znát nevyzrálost. Závěr docela fajn s kombinací melasy a marcipánu, ananasu a hrušky.
Review by Gregor
JoA there are better but also worse ones. A few esters are recognizable and there is also a clear fruity note. Unfortunately, the product is very watered down. Absolutely thin. A few percent more could really have made this blend much better
Review by heckto🥃
Typischer Jamaicaner. tropisch-fruchtig in der Nase. Am Gaumen Banane, Vanille und Getreide. Pur ist er OK, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Für tropische Cocktails super. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist gut.
Review by Johannes
Relatively thin, but you can clearly taste worthy park.
Review by Stefan Persson
The Navy Island Jamaican Rum XO is a blend of pot and column still rums from Worthy Park, Hampden and Moneymusk. The rum is named after Navy Island, a small tropical island near the coast of Jamaica once owned by Errol Flynn. It’s matured in ex bourbon casks and bottled at just 40% ABV.
Review by Eric Frechin
Surpris dans le bon sens du terme par ce produit. Je pensais tomber sur un rhum grand public édulcoré et épicé. Il n en est rien. C est un blend issu de distilleries Jamaïcaines renommée. C est bien rond autour du fruité exotique, un boisé grillé doux et de très légère notes fumées et d Esters.
