AP Liquid Pearls Single Cask Rum Jamaica (Bourbon & PX Sherry Cask) 2016

Most owners land firmly on the happy side of this one. It's a low-ester Jamaican — people argue whether it's Hampden or Worthy Park — with a big cherry-and-banana nose, some glue and citrus, then a creamy, spiced palate where the PX sherry sits clearly on top. The 59% is well integrated for most; a long, oily, slightly tannic finish rounds it off.

The community says
  • Cherry bomb
  • Well-integrated 59%
  • But: Little Jamaica funk

Aggregated from 25 community reviews.

Cherry-heavy low-ester Jamaican, big sherry hand Most drinkers call it a rounded, well-made bottle — cherry-forward with a clear sherry hand. A few wanted more Jamaica funk and cleaner alcohol integration, but that's the minority.

fans of cherry-rich, sherried Jamaican pot still

Village Nuremberg 2025 review I think the sherry finish on this low ester (I think it might be an OWH) works beautifully on the nose. Smells creamy like cherry and banana as well as oatmeal. Not quite the same on the palate, but still good. Price for under 100 fully OK. Palate not too sweet, not a dank barrel. Solid

Vůně dost melasová , estery, ananas. Chuť velmi jemná, krémová. Melasa, přezrálé ovoce, ananas. V závěru melasa, marcipán, ananas, vanilka, kopanec třísloviny, koření a pak se to hodí do velmi povedené vanilkové krémovosti.

Messebewertung Village'25 Nürnberg Noch nie vorher von dieser Serie von Glenfahrn gehört. Eine schöne Neuentdeckung die durchaus interessant ist. Der Rum selber hat mir Spaß gemacht und hat gutes Potenzial.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js). The strip's visible text is rendered by Hugo itself in rx/price_block.html — nothing else needs seeding. */ -}}
