Rum Artesanal 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
- But: Thin body

How does Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum MRJB 1977 taste?
Aggregated from 18 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.
Age-statement collectors and cognac or whisky fans who want subtlety over funk
Anyone chasing bold Jamaican ester funk or a big, long body

Definitiv spannender wie der 1982er MRJB. Schöne Kombi aus tropischen Früchten, etwas Karamell und Milchschokolade, ein kleines bisschen Minze und überraschend wenig Holz für 45 Jahre alt. Gefällt mir gut aber ist mir 1. Insgesamt dennoch etwas zu dünn und 2. Ist der Preis von 700€ UVP für mich nicht gerechtfertigt...

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 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 Oliver
Im direkten Vergleich zu seinem jüngeren Vorhänger (Jahrgang 1982) zurückhaltender und weniger aromatisch. Etwas tropische Früchte und Holzeinfluss - alles aber sehr gedämpft. Am Gaumen dann recht adstringierend und würzig - aber auch recht dünn. Definitiv lecker und interessant - aber bei den beeindruckenden Eckdaten liegt der Rum dann doch deutlich unter den (hohen) Erwartungen. Da hat mir RX11744 besser gefallen.
Review by Mirco
Verspricht einiges in der Nase, am Gaumen einfach zu schwach. Dennoch ein tolles Erlebnis.

Preis Leistungsverhältnis nicht angebracht
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I'm sorry to say but this one was also kind of disappointing and thin/light like the previous one.
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.
