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

I've read reviews below, bought in duty free zone and got excatly what I've expected. Intense Jamaican rum, not a great one, but interesting enough to consider it regular in my cabinet.

Although nose is quite mild, no ethanol attack, the taste is firm and strong, with some perceptible grassy notes. It's on the one hand not caramel or sweet, but on the other not to dry. And this makes is it an ideal Jamaican Rum both for sipping and Cuba Libre.

I bought it for 35 euro / 700ml at Vienna airport which turned out to be a great price, as my local physical and online stores have significantly higher price. I think 35-40 is a reasonable price, but wouldn't buy it for more than 45-50 euro.

These Navy Island rums started to appear on shelves within the last six months or so. I personally prefer this one over their Navy Strength, since the taste is the same, but without the high ABV%. This one is only $27 US, whereas the Navy Strength one is $48 US. Add the right amount of water to that one and you get this one. Sorry for the delayed review.

Aroma is not strong, but nice and gentle. Taste is mix of typical wild high ester jamaican rum with sweet fruity tones, whixh is surprise, because there is no added sugar. Aftertaste is average, but again with nice fruity sweet tones.

Bought this on a whim and very happy with price to flavor ratios. Immediately know it’s Jamaican mild Hogo pot still funk in a very good way. Good island fruit and spice flavors nothing to complain about. Added a small cube mellows it out a bit nice cinnamon and ripe banana hues. Overall good bottle for the collection.

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.
