Red Heart Jamaica Rum (Henry White & Co's London)
Thick tropical fruit — pineapple, banana, baked apple — piled on top of vanilla and light wood, with a warm dried-fruit and spice payoff. At a hefty 73% this is a proper "Brett," and how well you handle it depends entirely on the heat: most tasters say the alcohol is surprisingly well integrated, one or two find it too present and a touch bitter and sharp at the back.
The community says- Dense tropical fruit
- Warm spice payoff
- But: Fierce 73% heat

Intense, high-proof tropical Jamaican A powerful vintage Jamaican that most rate a highlight — the recurring debate is the 73% heat, integrated for most, a bit too loud and sharp for a few.

Wow, this has real power - but the alcohol is perfectly integrated. Excellent vintage bottling! A highlight for me at the 13th German Rum Festival.

I‘m not quite as enthusiastic on this one… 🤔 Indeed lots of power and thick aromas. However, alcohol is too present on the nose as well as on the palate. This limits the score imho. Thanks for the set, Artur!

Review by Jakob
Verkostung auf dem German Run Fest 2024: Aromatisch dicht, der Alkohol ist sehr gut integriert. Sehr schmackhaftes und intensives Trinkerlebnis. Zweiter Eindruck dank Arturs Red Heart Tasting Set: Die Nase is bereits vielversprechend, die volle Aromenwucht entfaltet sich aber erst am Gaumen. Viel Fruchtaroma, Tropenfrüchte, getrocknete Früchte, Karamell, Vanille, Gewürze. Sehr überzeugend!
Review by Serge
A post-tasting of this cool sample that I picked up at the GRF at the (very well-stocked) Rhumauction stand. Intense Jamaican with lots of power, pineapple and great spice. Great nose, nice palate ... a little too bitter and sharp-edged at the end.
Review by Johannes
Ein ganz schönes Brett! Alkohol erstaunlich gut eingebunden. Ist irgendwie eine Mischung aus Australier und Jamaikaner.

Sampled at the 13th German Rum Festival in Berlin: a real piece of work! Intense, powerful, Jamaica in its purest form! Thanks to RhumAuction for having this piece with them and letting us try it!
