Aroma visualization from community tastings
CDI Jamaica 2008
One taster called it a "very smooth Jamaican blend" with only moderate funk, and that sums it up. You get glue and ester on the nose, then banana, cherry and cookie-dough sweetness, with a woody, faintly smoky finish. Several members flag the New Yarmouth share carrying it. At 57.9% it's full-proof but rounder than most Jamaicans — some find it easy, others miss the fruit.

- Banana and cookie dough

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI Jamaica 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Smooth, moderate-funk Jamaican at full proof Most call it an easy, rounded Jamaican with real cask strength but tamer funk. Good value; one or two find it a bit forgettable and short on fruit.

A good introduction to Jamaica in Full Proof. The New Yarmouth part comes across very well. Easy sipping all-rounder!

Very smooth Jamaican blend. Very enjoyable, only moderat funk levels in this one.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Kirsch Banane Cookie high esther granate. Wirklich schöner PLV Jamaica Single cask. New Yarmouth bringt den Keks Teig und die restlichen Anteile den nötigen Funk aromatisch rein. Top plv und super für Mai tai

Review by Leo Krüper
Schöner Blend mit seichtem Abgang für jamaikanische Verhältnisse. Lässt sich dadurch super entspannt trinken. Sicher super für Einsteiger geeignet. Nase auch recht süßlich. Durch die fehlenden Ecken habe Ich wenig Kritikpunkte, aber auch wenige Pluspunkte. Morgen werde Ich mich sicher nicht mehr an den Geschmack dieses Rums erinnern. Insgesamt ein sehr runder Rum mit sehr gutem PLV.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Un très bon Jam mais qui manque d’évolution et de fruits pour côtoyer les plus grands comme New Yarmouth.
Review by Daniel
Nase: deutlich Klebstoff, Ester und dezent Tropenfrucht. Geschmack: deutlicher Unterschied zur Nase; wenig Frucht, sauer und holzige Noten Abgang: rauchig, dreckig, aber auch Honig Jamaikaner, der eher an Guyana als an Jamaika erinnert. Lässt die sonst so typisch fruchtigen Noten vermissen.
