Lemon Hart & Son Golden Jamaica Rum Imported (Vintage)
For experienced palates: an old-school 73% Jamaican overproof with nutty toffee, milk chocolate and tropical fruit. RumX members like it best as a powerful cocktail booster rather than a neat sipper.
The community says- Powerful ABV kick
- Nutty toffee nose
- Quite one-dimensional

Review by Thunderbird
Johannes Blindtasting-Set Nr. 6: In der Nase anfangs eine Wolke von Sahnetoffee und Butterscotsch..nach einiger Zeit im Glas ein schöner Duft von Piemontkirschen… Der Gaumen kann da leider nicht so ganz mithalten.. er ist recht eindimensional mit viel Süsse, Karamell, Cashewkernen und Milchschokolade. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz Edit: die über 70% ABV sind super eingebunden
Review by Jakob
Lots of toffee-oakwood sweetness, plus fruit esters, quite fiery spiciness, which also arises from the interplay with the high alcohol content. Alcohol content, although the latter does not push itself to the fore. Unfortunately, the rum also lacks a clear focus; it is pleasant but, given its strength, a little too demanding to be classified as accessible. It has something, but personally it doesn't completely win me over.
Review by Mirco
Johannes Bild Tasting. Besten Dank für diese Gelegenheit! 😊 Ordentlich ABV die man hier spürt. Bei 70% dennoch sehr gut integriert. Toffee mit Früchten sowie etwas Ester machen hier Spass. Etwas Karamell rundet den Rum ab.
Review by Jarek
Blind Tasting Set von Johannes (danke dafür): OK, nochmals ein Jamaikaner, aber diesmal mit einer durchgehend sehr angenehmen Nase. Neben Frucht, Ester und etwas Klebstoff, auch schöne nussige Note. Am Gaumen sehr kraftvoll, um die 70%. Insgesamt lecker.
Review by zabo
Für mich nach 5 Blindsamples von Johannes das beste für mich bis jetzt. Kräftig und die volle Power. Pur für mich jedoch grenzwertig, würde ich eher zum aufspriten für Cocktails 🍸 verwenden. Schön probiert zu haben.

Blind tasting #6: very nutty on the nose (hazel nut). Some wood and Vanilia. On the palate: milk chocolate, caramel, pepper. Quite hot. No idea…. Colored Guyana overproof? Cheers, Johannes for the set - was a blast to taste.
Review by SaibotZtar
Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No.6 Erstmal spürt man ne heftigen bums in der Nase 😅... es kribbelt und Sticht . Nach paar minuten kommt eine klare Jamaica Nase durch ... Mango Banane Ananas und etwas Karamell... irgendwas leicht geröstetes (Nüsse) 🤔🤔 Am Gaumen Erstmal flutet der Alkohol voller Power den Mund mit ordentlichem brennen auf der Zunge.... ich schätze mindestens 68% .... Wenn sich der Alkohol beruhigt hat kommen wieder etwas Fruchtigkeit und Karamell mit leichten Röstaromen dazu . Mmh Pur schwer zu trinken (denke besser als Mixer geeignet)
