RA Jamaica Rum MRJB 1977
Sip this one slowly and neat — it's built for a quiet tasting glass, not a mixer. A 45-year-old Jamaican that trades funk for delicate notes of honey, caramel, milk chocolate, wood and a little tropical fruit, with a touch of mint. Lovely on the nose, but most tasters found it thin and short on the palate, gentler than the aromatic 1982 sibling.
The community says- Fine honey and chocolate
- Very little harsh wood
- Thin body

How does RA Jamaica Rum MRJB 1977 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Delicate, wood-and-honey Jamaican, thin body Delicate and genuinely enjoyable, but tasters agree the body is thin and the finish short — striking on paper, quieter in the glass than 45 years suggests.

Review by alex
Je rejoins les commentaires sur ce jus. C’est très bon, délicat mais il manque cruellement de corps. Longueur plutôt courte. C’est vraiment subtile sur les arômes qui sont néanmoins très bons. Bref un peu de déception car je m’attendais à bcp mieux mais il est superbe tout de même.
Review by Johannes
Im Vergleich zum Corman Collins hat dieser 77er die Nase vorne. Sehr filigraner, schöner Rum, bei dem statt jamaikanischem Funk-Ester feine Noten von Holz, Honig, Karamell und Schokolade dominieren. Allerdings hat er gerade für den Preis doch zu wenig Körper und einen zu kurzen Abgang.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Definitely more exciting than the 1982 MRJB. Beautiful combination of tropical fruits, some caramel and milk chocolate, a little bit of mint and surprisingly little wood for 45 years old. I like well but is me 1. overall still a bit too thin and 2. is the price of 700 € RRP for me not justified...
Review by Mirco
Verspricht einiges in der Nase, am Gaumen einfach zu schwach. Dennoch ein tolles Erlebnis.

Preis Leistungsverhältnis nicht angebracht
Review by SaibotZtar
Mmh .... ich bin etwas verwundert, so richtig verstehe ich diesen Rum nicht . Anfangs dachte ich sofort an einen Appleton 🤔🤔 das kannst nicht gewesen sein ... doch soooo viel mehr kam nicht ! Minimal Frucht .... Schokolade und Holz(garnicht mal viel) . Also hier kann NUR das Alter den Preis geschaffen haben denn der Rum rechtfertigt es FÜR MICH in keinster Weise.
Review by Oliver
More restrained and less aromatic in direct comparison to its younger predecessor (1982 vintage). Some tropical fruit and wood influence - but everything very subdued.On the palate then quite astringent and spicy - but also quite thin. Definitely tasty and interesting - but with the impressive key data, the rum is then but clearly below the (high) expectations. Since I liked RX11744 better.

I'm sorry to say but this one was also kind of disappointing and thin/light like the previous one.
