Oh ya man. Dis dat shot. Nasty strong hogo. Blow you back bro.
This is defiantly for mixing. Very strong Jamaican. As a novice tiki enthusiast, if I use this in a drink that asks for Jamaican you can defiantly tell it is in there. It will dominate a zombie.
Taste - caramel, bananas, leather
Surprisingly smooth when drinking it neat at 57% ABV. Molasses, banana, vanilla, marzipan. Very pungent. This is not a rum for the faint hearted. The finish sticks with you for a while. Also great for mixing drinks, though you only need a little for it to make a huge impact on the drink.
Bit too harsh and lacking of sweetness for me. One of the more lackluster craft rums I've aimed for recently.
This rum is powerful - I couldn't drink it every night...but I could like to have it on occasion hahe.
Yes it needs water to tone down the alcohol content from not only numbing the nose but the mouth also. Unfortunately the liquor store where I was allowed to have a small sample to initially taste wasn't enough to add water to for a second taste. Trying to discern more notes was difficult.
Saw this bottle high up on a shelf at a cocktail bar and didn't recognise it so ordered a double neat to try it out not realising is was navy strength. As soon as it the bar I got the very strong nose that made me a little apprehensive of drinking this without ice or a mixer but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a huge fan of either Jamaican rums or overproof rums but this was went down very well because even with 57% to compete with, the powerful flavour profile really comes through with enough depth to make it very enjoyable.
Upon my purchase and tasting of this rum I was convinced I'd made a mistake and wasted $30. The flavor was too bold for me initially so I tried mixing it with the usual suspects with little success since to me it always seemed to overpower anything with which it was mixed.
Tonight I discovered that the key to enjoying this wonderful spirit is to sip it with just a cube or two of ice added which tames it just enough to let its bold funky flavor shine through. Up until tonight I'd been wondering how I was going to get rid of this stuff, now I'm considering how I'll make it last.
While not as over the top as some suggest, it's still too much to enjoy on its own. However it's perfect for adding some punch to tiki drinks where the rum usually takes too much of a back seat to the other flavors.
Everything has already been said in the other reviews--great stuff, tons of flavor, tons of funk. One thing is, if a recipe calls for, say, 3 oz of Jamaican rum, it's not a good idea to use 3 oz of this. It will simply overpower the drink, to the point where all you can taste is rum. However, if you add a small amount this to a less strong Jamaican rum, it can work very well. For example, if the recipe calls for 3 oz of Jamaican rum, what you can do is use 2.5 ounces of the less strong Jamaican rum, and 0.5 ounces of this.
a bit bitter..and it got ATTITUDE

The smell is rich, sugary, heavy molasses.

Overripe fruits, marzipan, dark wood and dark cacao. Needs some water, too strong to drink.
