Sturm Markenimport J.B.S. First Rate Rum
Vanilla and yellow fruit on the nose, mostly apple, then a thin, slightly artificial sweetness with young wood and a little spice. The 54% sticks out — several tasters felt the alcohol "erstickt alles" and overpowers what little is there. An old-style Jamaican curiosity more than a great pour, and a few suspect some added sugar.
- Fruity apple nose
- Light vanilla sweetness
- Old Jamaican curiosity

How does Sturm Markenimport J.B.S. First Rate Rum taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Young, hot, thin vanilla-and-apple Jamaican Most found it drinkable but flat and young, with the alcohol poorly integrated and a sweetness that reads artificial. Interesting as an old Jamaican oddity, not as an everyday sipper.

Review by cigares
Un rhum de la série “Niki’s und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2”. Un nez fruité avec des fruits jaunes, surtout de la pomme. Une certaine sucrosité apparaît en bouche avec des épices et du bois jeune. La finale est sur les fruits et la sucrosité mais aussi sur les épices et la pomme. Un rhum simple mais équilibré. Peut-être avec ajoût de sucre ?
Review by Jakob
Solide, in der Nase präsente Würzaromatik gepaart mit Fruchtnoten - am Gaumen recht flach, Vanillezucker, Früchte, insgesamt etwas künstlich und eher flach. Trinkbar, aber langweilig.
Review by Leo Krüper
Sehr kräftig. Der Alkohol erstickt alles. Kaum Aroma da und wenn dann nur künstliche gesüßte Aromen. Durch den Alkohol bildet man sich etwas Pfeffer ein, aber kann auch nur die alkoholische Schärfe sein. Sicher eher als Backzutat geeignet. Quasi kein Charakter erkennbar.
Review by Mirco
Verkostung von Niki und Arturs Aventurien Teil 2. Besten Dank für die Möglichkeit diese alten Kuriositäten & Raritäten zu probieren! 😊 Nr. 9 Die Alkohol-Integration ist hier nicht gelungen. Auch ist der Rum geschmacklich ziemlich flach.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nikis und Arturs Jamaicanische Aventurien No9 Leckere in der Nase mit Frucht und Honig, leicht Bitter . Alkohol etwas zu spüren. Am Gaumen ölig dickflüssig... Süß weniger Fruchtig. Etwas Alkoholisch aber ganz ok .
Review by Johannes
Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2: etwas flach, Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein, etwas Vanille, viel Neutralalkohol.
Review by zabo
Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2. Zu erst Mal wieder ein dickes Dankeschön für die Chance solche Raritäten im Glas zu haben. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, war Jamaikanischer Rum vor Jahrzehnten nicht der Rum, den man heutzutage aus Jamaika kennt, denoch sehr interessant diesen zu probieren. Diese sind nicht wirklich spitzenmäßig, aber denoch mehr als Trinkerbar.
Review by DomM
Not much going on here - a bit vanilla and sweetness. Feels very young and alcohol forward.
