Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Très bon rapport qualité prix pour ce rhum jamaïcain "funky".

Tasted April 21, 2021 at Laka Lono.
Sampled in a Daiquiri form after a quick sip, others around me must have been concerned about its strength of character?
The notes are simple: Tasty!!!!! and a smiley face.
*I promise, my notes have improved since then
Update: July 26, 2023 at Laka Lono Kill Devil rum club
Appearance: swampy clear
Aroma: funk
Flavor: oh my. Dust, metal, sage, deliciousness ❤️❤️❤️

Specified for some tiki drinks . Others like the pain killer which it isn’t “prescribed” but goes well. Cobra fang
It’s fine for sipping too. Strong flavor but clean. Some major esters. The flavor more tasty and sweetish. Finishes rich, smooth

Dark golden colour in a plain bottle. A slight aroma of oak, a hint of whisky. A lot of fire in the mouth but too much of a whisky flavour for me. No sweetness in the glass. Whisky drinking friends all loved it.

Just the correct amount of Jamaica funk. Perfect for a Zombie

Good to keep in your rotation, sometimes you just want something to warm your insides.

Nose - Interesting jamaican hogo funk with leather, barbequed meat, demerara sugar, vanilla, pineapple, overripe mangos with a touch of smoke. Taste - Strong alcohol awakens the taste buds with dark and spicy spices, vanilla and butterscotch. Lighter fruit flavours of grilled pineapple, overripe banana, apple, stone fruits, oak and leather. The finish is medium with a lingering touch of syrup, overripe mango, dried fruits and spices.

A good value alternative to the high end navy strength and overproofs.

Warm, brown sugar, raisins… mmmmmmm. I love a good navy rum, and this is that. Bottled slightly over proof, it packs a lot of flavor. Even for a Jamaican rum, which is saying something. This will stand up to your cola. It will stand up to your painkiller, even. In a very pleasant way. I drink this from the bottle, but then, I’m a little crazy.

Can't get over this stuff, my current number 1. I've tired a few different Jamaican pot stills and this one takes the cake. The nose is pretty tropical with light spices, and does not prep you for the chaos soon to commence. Funk overload. Like that final drop on a roller coaster except you're riding a grilled plantain with no seatbelt and everything's on fire. I love it, but theres no chance I'm having that neat on the rocks. This is an incredible rum that brings a completely different essence to any cocktail, especially with tropical fruits. I've blended this with Bajan's and Jamaicans to really unleash the beast in my tikis, and have heard it's quite interesting paired with agricole. Lot of possibilities here.

This is like the old Jamaican rums...no caramel or added colours, just a sharp rush of flavour and a searing blast from the high proof. Not to be sipped without adding plenty of water. Beyond the heat, this is a wonderful crisp rum with lingering fruits (think cherries and ripe banana) and none of the overwhelming sweetness. This one brightens up any tiki drink and allows the rum to shine through anything you dress it with. Amazing, breathtaking and unforgettable.
