Rumy zrají v tropickém klimatu v sudech, ve kterých byl předtím uložen bourbon. Navy Island XO má svůdné aroma jamajských rumů a vyváženou chuť s tóny vanilky, šťavnatého zralého ovoce (banánů, pečených jablek) a karamelu. Závěr je dlouhý, harmonický a příjemně suchý.
Yllättävän kevyt alkumaku, pehmeä ja makea jatko, hyvin viipyy keveys loppuun asti.

The rum has a pale golden colour. A strong oily sweet smell, heavy, very nice.
The taste is quite sweet, the body is rather light, cookies. A very nice one...

This Navy Island has a very nice golden color. At first smell I was like 'omg what a crap'. But I gave it a chance to develop its flavours. It needs to breathe and then you get the apple and pear notes with a light sweetness. Same procedure for the taste. Give this rum its time to develop its flavours and you won't be disappointed. Not my favourite but definitely a very interesting rum. Tip: add a few drops of water to it.
After tasting around, I found out, that for me, this rum is the perfect match for a Cuba libre. 10 out of 10
Therefore 6 in my final note.

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

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.

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 out 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.
