Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaica Navy Strength

Didn't love it at first, but now see it as a necessary bottle in a tiki bar.

This rum burns too much for me to sip it, even after it goes down it burns but not in a good way.

Full bodied, rich, inviting to an exlporative tasting. But also perfect to enjoy straight up, partywise, with a company of good friends. I absolutely adore it's complexity, naturalness, and longlasting finish. Great in any conditions. In winters it brings back holiday aromas and vibe. In the summer it enhances the experience. High abv is a treat, not a niusance. Great sipper and even better with mixers like coke or ginger ale, not to mention proper rum based cocktails. Take it for a spin in Queen's Park Swizzle, Nuclear Daiquiri, Corn'n'Oil, Dark and Stormy.

Has characteristics of a peaty Scotch, not nearly as strong as Foursquare single barrel. Ver complex, so keeping this in my rotation.

Ripe Banana and glances of vanilla in the beginning but you can also find: Spice, orange, dark tea, molasses sugar, this is real good Rum ! Definitely not for beginners

Banana, cedar, and dried dark fruit bum-rush the palate.
Toffee, pepper and a bit of salt on the finish.

Nothing extreme but a standout, not my favourite but it's a must try the funk and weight is above the rest, you can tell it's classically Jamaican and yet so different just from the smell.

“TIGHT! …TIGHT TIGHT!” as one Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad would say. Blows the barn doors right down. Bold. Nice banana esthers. Funky. Little bit of caramel, some vanilla. Tropical fruits. Boosh man, this a rum for almost any occasion for me. Just remember to take a breath mint after, you’re gonna smell boozy hahaha. Great for sipping, great in particular for cocktails. Just a wonderful little bad boy.

It's a delicious, darkly sweet, and funky but with unmistakable heat. It will take over some drinks if it's used alone.

Absolutely amazing. Smooth and funky and can’t even taste the proof. Perfect with a couple of water.

The saying is that price and quality go hand and hand. While that is sometimes true, it still feels good to find something, like this bottle, that proves that good quality also comes at a cheaper price.

Nose: Funky fruit, overripe bananas & a lingering background with brown sugar
Taste: Pineapple, brown sugar and funky bananas that hits hard and long
Overall: This is an essential Jamaican rum, that comes at a somewhat low price point. If you wanna try real Jamaican funk, but don´t wanna blow all your savings on an expensive bottle, then this is the rum for you.
