Looking to try something different I thought I would buy a bottle of Navy Island XO Reserve rum from local liquor store. In spite of the unflattering reviews on this rum I realized that I ought to find put for myself as I have come across bad reviews in the past for rums that I find delicious. The deciding factor in purchasing this rum was that everybody agreed that it was a dry rum and being from Jamaica it contains no added sugar.
I let the rum sit in my glass for 15 minutes before evaluating it. The nose reminded me of a blend of Appleton 12 yr rum and Pusser British Navy rum. First sip confirmed that it is similar to a lighter version of Appleton 12 yr rum and I liked it right away.
Nice find.

It deserve better rating than here. It is typical Jamaican rum with no added sugar so it is very dry. On the nose its suprisingly sweet with flavours of banana, caramel and wood. Taste is very dry with hints of vanilla, tropical fruit and oak. Really strong bourbon finish. It is better to leave it couple of minutes in glass.

Passt super in Pina Colada mit seinen feinen Jamaica noten.
Macht aber auch pur im Glas einen guten Eindruck.

Rum tasting with my buddy in Tampere continued with Navy Island XO Rum. Very nice old school bottle and label design. Light golden color. Plenty of glue, rubber and funk to your nose and palate when neat sipped. Harsh burn at the end.

A typical Jamaican rum with predominant notes of vanilla and toffee. The perfect companion to a cuban cigar. Drink it straight with an ice cube and a zest of lemon. Not a rum for amateurs. As I use to say: a true "pirate's rum"

Smarža atgādina lētu Cazino rumu, garša spirtota bet mazliet labak nekā smaržo. Der tikai kokteiļos.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Nasládlá rumová tresť, med, bonbónová sladkost (možná Slávie?), pečený banán, kandované tropické ovoce, cukrová vata. Vůně je hodně sladká. (87 b)
Chuť: V chuti ovšem velmi suchý. Spíš koňakový suchý dojem. Suchá ovocnost, pečený banán, lehce dřevo, míza. Máslově toustová dochuť. Stylově trochu podobný agricole stylu. (81 b)
Body: 84/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnán vzorek koupený v českolipském baru Egypt. Vůně pro mě fajn, chuťově ale tyhle hodně suché rumy většinou moc nemusím.

Nicht süß, nicht mild, recht würzig und spiritusartig. Der Rum ist weder in erd Nase noch auf der unge überzeugend - leider sehr enttäuschend und nicht für den puren Genuss geeignet. Preis-Leistung stimmt hier nicht.

A good rum for sipping !
I love it that you can taste the jamaican influence.
As a whisky lover , it reminds me of the difference between a regular and a peated whisky.

En rigtig Jamaica rom her med en voldsom duft af røg og fad. Smagen er ganske fin, og især hvis man er til lakrids. Lakridsen er en anelse salt, men i den lange eftersmag tiltræder frugtnoter som bl.a. fersken. Rommen er billig, ses ofte til 300kr og en ganske habil flaske til prisen.
