Rest & Be Thankful MICRO BATCH #1 Jamaican Rum Antipodes 2009
Most tasters land in the same place: this is a Jamaican blend that dials back the wild ester funk in favor of balance. Fresh, fruity nose with pineapple and a waxy vanilla edge; the palate turns greener and peppery with banana and a bit of smoke. One reviewer found the nose slightly disharmonious, but the mouthfeel wins people over — creamy, with the 58.7% well tucked in.
The community says- Creamy mouthfeel
- Fresh tropical fruit
- Slightly off nose

How does Rest & Be Thankful MICRO BATCH #1 Jamaican Rum Antipodes 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Balanced, fruity Jamaican blend, low on funk Well-liked Jamaican pot-still blend that stays fruity and green rather than heavily funky. Creamy body, spice and pineapple; a couple found the nose a touch off, but most enjoyed it.

Review by Rodolphe
Very nice Jamaican blend that comes out of the profiles full of esters but that is really very pleasant. The nose is fresh and fruity, a nice mix of flowers and fruits on a wax/vanilla background. The mouth is more vegetal and peppery. The whole is well balanced, offers a nice meeting of Jamaica and I think it's very well done.
Review by Buddudharma
Very nice Jamaican blend with fruit, esters, wood and some cookie dough. Creamy mouthfeel, well integrated alcohol, very fine.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Z vůně jsem v rozpacích. Jamajka je tam znát, ale přijde mi to takové disharmonické. Chuťově pravý opak. Krásně nasládlé , celkem uhlazené a dobře pitelné. Nakonec jsem spokojený. Fajn blend jako bývají Great House.
Review by TheJackDrop
Dégusté au whisky live Paris : notes de dégustations rapides mais ici j’ai pris du plaisir ! Nez : la canne est encore là, la vanille adoucit les fruits exotiques. Les esters sont la, sans être trop vifs. Bouche : fruitée, ester, petit côté empyreumatique Finale : longue, ester, épices, léger fumé Finalement la meilleure quille du line up. Pour info « Ce small batch de cinq fûts a été élaboré à partir de rhums distillés dans des alambics pot still en provenance de New Yarmouth (2005), Long Pond (2005), Clarendon Estate (2007), du village Lluidas Vale (2008) et d’un rhum distillé en colonne par Clarendon Estate (2007) »

#4874 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, light wood, fruity, light pineapple, faint banana, faint smoke, ester, spices. Palate Round, light wood, faint smoke, light vegetal, fruity, light pineapple, faint floral, light citrus, ester. Finish Medium long, light wood, fruits, light citrus, faint floral, ester, faint smoke. Pretty good release considering it's a blend. A must try if you like Jamaican rum.
