Georg Bestle Blended Jamaica Rhum
One for collectors chasing old Jamaican curiosities, not for anyone hoping to actually enjoy a pour. At 80% this is mostly raw alcohol with a whisper of vanilla and woody glue behind it — several tasters flag an off-note that reads like cheese or old feet on the finish. Water pulls out a little fruit, but there's not much underneath. Most just wanted to say they'd tried it.
The community says- Historical rarity
- But: Searing 80% heat
- But: Off cheese note

The look inside the bottle
How does Georg Bestle Blended Jamaica Rhum taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Harsh 80% curiosity, more alcohol than rum Verdict is near-unanimous: harsh neutral alcohol with a nasty off-note and little rum character. One member sums it up — "not much going on taste wise." A curiosity, not a drinker.

Review by zabo
Edit: Mit Cola gar nicht mal so schlecht 😉 Nikis und Arturs Jamaikanische Aventurien Teil 2. Zu erst Mal wieder ein dickes Dankeschön für die Chance solche Raritäten im Glas zu haben. Um es auf den Punkt zu bringen, war Jamaikanischer Rum vor Jahrzehnten nicht der Rum, den man heutzutage aus Jamaika kennt, denoch sehr interessant diesen zu probieren. Diese sind nicht wirklich spitzenmäßig, aber denoch mehr als Trinkerbar.
Review by cigares
A rum from the "Niki's und Arturs Jamaiksnische Aventurien Teil 2" series. Lots of alcohol on the nose, wood glue, sawdust. Nothing subtle here. The alcohol attacks hard on the palate and dominates almost everything. The finish is short and leaves a footy smell. With a little water, everything improves, and fruit notes even appear.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nikis und Arturs Jamaicanische Aventurien No10 Wuuums hier ist richtig Alkohol im Spiel. Stechend der erste Eindruck in der Nase... dann kommt etwas Frucht Ester Karamell, geröstete Nüsse und Honigwaben . Am Gaumen Ähnliche Spiel , erstmal sehr kräftig Alkoholisch und stechend. Etwas Frucht Honig auch hier ... Nicht einfach zu trinken.
Review by Frederic
There is still some vamille in the nose, but the off-note is already hidden behind it, which becomes apparent later. Tastes extremely like cheese feet. That's the only reason to give it a few points at all. Every rum drinker should try it :)
Review by Leo Krüper
Smells like an old bum buying cheap booze with trembling hands in front of you in the supermarket. Strong alcohol and urine smell. Then a few chemical notes in the taste. Probably intended as a baking ingredient. A terrible rum to drink.
Review by Jakob
Aromatisierter Neutralalkohol mit sattem, beissenden Alkoholeinschlag, der selbst durch die sehr massige Süssung nicht eingefangen wird. Eigentlich bleibt mir nach dem „Genuss“ dieser Abfüllung nur eine Frage: Warum?
Review by Mirco
Verkostung von Niki und Arturs Aventurien Teil 2. Besten Dank für die Möglichkeit diese alten Kuriositäten & Raritäten zu probieren! 😊 Nr. 10 Neutralalkohol mit etwas Vanille und Kleber. Kann man auslassen. 😅
Review by Johannes
Hochprozentig, viel Neutralalkohol, etwas Vanillin, aber auch nicht viel mehr.
Review by DomM
No bueno. Strong with not much going on taste wise.
