Whisky & Rhum L‘Esprit A Jamaican Distillery
Surprise number one: at almost 86% this barely scorches, with the alcohol tucked in shockingly well. Expect raspberry, lime zest, banana and loads of fresh green sugarcane, plus rubber and tar in the empty glass. A couple of tasters swear it reads more like a fruity Martinique agricole than the Jamaican pot still it is. Give it air first.
- Vivid raspberry note
- Alcohol well integrated
- Green and fresh

How does Whisky & Rhum L‘Esprit A Jamaican Distillery taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Wild, fruity cask-strength Jamaican pot still Intense, fruity and oddly hard to place — several call it stunningly well-integrated for the ABV. The catch: it needs resting, and it can turn metallic in a daiquiri.

A rum that would put the mailman back on his bike!
Review by Renato
Very spicy and vegetal, complex, intense and elegant.
Review by Fasen
This Rum is very impressive and offers us a very rich and interesting aromatic palette, all with a very nice balance. We find as well several types of fruits (Banana / Mango / Grape / Peach / Apricot) fermented passed to the solvent, spices (Clove / Nutmeg / Licorice / Vanilla / Pepper), a big vegetable side very green and very fresh as well as a super greediness.all that well balanced with a big funky and coppery side of Jamaica.the final is obviously interminable and very pleasant. Excellent rum, I love it!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Holy crap what is that! Raspberry puree, lime zest, banana, lots of sugar cane and herbal olive notes and only subtle ester meet here. Incredibly exciting. Me flashes especially this horny raspberry note! Absolute board! Alcohol blatantly well integrated for almost 86%🤤By the way, supposedly worthy park.Works in the daiquiri Überraschenderweise not soo well, here the metallic notes come through a little too strongly. Overall, nevertheless, very horny and exceptional!

#4076 This one needed to rest for a good while before the ABV settled down. Once rested it was a nice but intense nose with fruit and some medicinal notes. The empty glass reveals stronger notes of rubber and some tar as well. Price to quality is very good in my mind.
Review by Oliver
Very good rum with power - directly from the still. I would have put blind rather direction Martinique.
