Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Sadly the real rum flavours are overshadowed by the overproof alcohol strength and burn from this one. No good straight, but okay as a mixer. The flavour seemed slightly whiskey-ish, if that makes sense.

Smooth with Burbon finish..great spice...loved the color...

This is unlike any other rum out there. It hits hard but somehow manages to be smooth. More of an acquired taste and getting close to some of the higher proofs out there. I love it. Cherry flavour and molasses

I love messing with overproofs in my cocktails and this one is definitely in my top 5. It's in your face and sipping it straight will make even the toughest shed a tear or two. One of the best uses for it has been in the Kingston Negroni out of Death & Co's repertoire, which is equal parts Smith & Cross, Campari, Carpano Antica (only Antica or a similarly intense vermouth can stand up to the Smith & Cross).

Medium amber in colour; leading aromas of woodsmoke, caramel, citrus, tropical fruit and spice; hot on the palate with flavours of burnt sugar, spice, citrus peel and oak on the finish. $40 can. Sounds like a good deal but don't think that I will buy it again

This is surprisingly easy to sip even though it's an over proof rum. There is a little extra alcohol and delayed heat on the back. The flavor is robust with a little spice, wood, toffee and leather/funk and is lightly sweet. The finish is lasting and a little whiskey-ish. I can see where whiskey drinkers might love this. Great for sipping and topping off your favorite cocktails. Lots of unique flavors here.

7.5

I believe it's a damn fine choice, but it might be a bit funky for most people. All the top ratings are true, you're going get a very funky drink indeed. This is a funkiness very similar to the Plantation Jamaica 2001, which was probably influenced by Smith and cross in the first place :p

Pepper, oak, cognac, ripe banana peels.

Un rhum excellent qui peut se boire pur ou mélangé. C'est le meilleur mixer pour jamaican mule que je connaisse. Vieillissement continental, goût typique Hampden et avec un degré élevé en plus qui lui donne de la concentration.
Le meilleur représentant de la distillerie Hampden à prix démocratique pour ceux qui veulent se lancer dans les rhums Jamaicains.

That's it. So much funk!! I ove it especially at 25 euros. If you like funky jamaican rum, buy this.
Really.
O, and funk.
Did i mention funk?

Flavor is pretty good. Smell is very Butterscotch-like. Drinking neat is a challenge...... it burns.... Feels like your esophagus is on fire. Fortunately, it doesn't last long. Mixed with coke it's pretty good.
