it has a great smell.funky tones that want you to do more.
its best selling jamaican rum.so i am glad that i bought it.
awesome punchy rum for real men.

This is good, really good. It reminds me of the rum you get in chocolate, only it's insanely alcoholic and you will barely notice it. It's got funk, it's sweet banana and pineapple and other over ripe fruit, it is Jamaica! Drink it, love it, put it in a cocktail... let the good times roll.

A lot of alcohol and a bad taste. Tried also in mixers with no success.

Get the funk up in my face! Amazing value (less than $20 for 750ml), %63 ABV, rotten bananas on the nose, will burn going down neat. I know this is not really a sipper but I strangely enjoy it that way and keep coming back to it. If you do it that way use some ice or water it down a little. It will surely liven up any cocktail you put it in. I guess Jamaicans drink it with Ting (grapefruit soda) or in a punch. I just had it with lime juice and triple sec in sort of a Wray margarita. Hell, i even like it with just ice and a lime sparkling water. Hall of fame rum.

Given the legendary status of this rum, I just had to try it sooner or later - and now a whole bottle is sitting on my counter.

The bottle design is nice and adequate, but what I really dislike is the plastic screw cap and the plastic "no-refills!" safety blocker. I just don't think overproof alcohol and plastic should ever meet anywhere, and in today's plastic-saturated environment, the thought of slowly dissolving plastic stopper leeching some plastic-based aromatic compounds back into my drink is not something I would call appetizing.

The rum itself is crystal clear, leaving no legs, just like a freshly made moonshine. I don't know if it was briefly aged and filtered as Havana 3y is, but my guess would be no. The smell is pleasant, light, fresh, fruity (oranges, apricots, tangerines), almost with artificial candy-like notes.

The taste opens up with a creamy, sweetish rush, full of over-ripe fruit, lot's of bananas, marmalade and figs, accentuated with really heavy alcohol baseline, rough and totally unapologetic, but still not as barbaric as Everclear or some badly distilled vodkas I have tasted. It's still a well-made booze, just playing it rough. Which I am sure is a welcome characteristic, especially in mixed drinks like daiquiri.

In the end, the rum lives up to its reputation - not as something I would pour after a tiring day to kick back and relax, but as a powerful and vivid cocktail component with I intend to experiment a lot.

Always a pleasure. Smooth banana, grass and peas on the pallet. Cane and soil on the nose.

Exactly what it should be. Funky, over ripe tropical fruit. I like funky Jamaican rum so I definitely like this. Straight up it's a handful. With a cube of ice and sipping respectfully it's wonderful, if you like funky rum. Mixed with Ting and a lime twist it's refreshing and easy going!
If you like funky rum then go for it. If you don't then stay away but PLEASE don't try it and rate it horribly if you don't like funk. Be fair here. A true Jamaican classic!

Wow what a rum, blow your socks off. Ideal for exxxtra strong cocktails 😎
