Mango, Passionsfrucht, Litschi und ein paar holzige Noten mit Trockenfrüchten und hellem Tabak.Diese Nase ist hyperparfümiert, im Modus Jamaika/fruchtiger Cognac.Ich mag sie sehr, sie ist großartig.MundEbenso gut, ein echtes Fruchtkonzentrat mit Ananas, Banane, Mango, und das alles in einem sehr explosiven Modus. Das Holz ist präsent, aber ganz zart, mit Trockenfrüchten, Schokolade und einigen Gewürzen.Es gibt Pep, jede Menge Leckereien, Früchte, ein leichtes Holz und ein unglaubliches Gleichgewicht...

Un bonbon !! Ausgezeichnet...

Well, I think it's pretty good. The bitterness described by some doesn't bother me at all, and the cognac/tobacco notes please me rather well. I really think this little jam is top-notch 🤩

The MBK mark, between 60 and 90 gr / hl AA of esters, corresponds to the time of distillation. When bottled, it reaches 256, which classifies it as EMB or MMW, depending on the docs... I still like the nose as much as when I tasted it about a year ago, it's super fruity. It's the same on the palate, with a lovely basket of fruit, pineapple, banana and almonds. There's just the right amount of intensity, but the alcohol is well integrated, leaving a long finish, full of sweetness and gourmandise. One of my favorite light Jamaicans.

Very nice, with a long, evolving finish. Very fruity, with lytchee at the head, vanilla, almond paste and a finish that gives a little tannic bitterness that's much appreciated. The whole is very well balanced.

Unlike the pre-sample tasted this summer, which won me over with its devastating fruitiness, this one needs a good 30 minutes of aeration, as it's clearly more woody and less markedly fruity (mango-passion-fruit). But once this woodiness has been tamed, we're treated to the usual Jamaican banana, and here blood orange. On the palate, it's lively, very intense, spicy-peppery but well-balanced. This is an elegant rum, with a long finish and hints of coconut and floral notes.

For relatively little money, a Jamaican that's a lot of fun. Barrel and wood aromas, tobacco and a certain bitterness, which I don't find unpleasant, are in the foreground on the palate, followed by a floral sweetness (violets?) of the cognac finish and light fruit and ester notes. Pleasant length and more wood and tobacco on the finish. For me, the positive blueprint of a Plantation-style Jamaican without sweetening. If anything, it should have a little more alcohol for more intensity/length and a little less barrel/bitterness.

Solid rum, nose and palate with nice fruity notes, finish is rather dry, barrel-heavy and slightly bitter.This is the second or third step on the 10 steps of Jamaica Funk ;-)Price / performance excellent!

Nichts Bahnbrechendes, aber okay. Einige Ester, Holz, Tabak und einige tropische Früchte.

For a clarendon from the fruitier side. I like it well!

Super fruchtige Nase, macht Lust darauf, hineinzugehen. Am Gaumen zu kräftig, ich finde den Alkohol nicht ausreichend integriert mit einer unangenehmen holzigen Bitterkeit, man findet die Früchte der Nase, aber im Hintergrund. Schade, die Nase hat einen Traum verkauft

interessant, aber überzeugt mich nicht vollends
