Rum Albrecht Burke‘s Jamaica Rum-Verschnitt

5.6/10 12 community reviews ↓

Here's the twist: this is a Rum-Verschnitt, a blend of real Jamaican rum stretched with neutral spirit, and it tastes like it. The nose reads Jamaican — some ester, glue, tropical fruit, lemon peel — but several tasters flag a muffy, almost plastic edge. On the palate it's thin, watered-down and oddly sweet, with a faint funk that never fully lands. Most members finish it puzzled rather than pleased.

The community says
  • Clear ester note
  • Thin and watery

The look inside the bottle

How does Rum Albrecht Burke‘s Jamaica Rum-Verschnitt taste?

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.

Thin, watery Jamaican blend better for baking Recognizably Jamaican but stretched too far — thin, artificial and one-dimensional. A few would still take it over Bacardi; most say it's better suited to baking.

Perfect for

curious tasters and rum bakers on a budget

Less suitable for

anyone wanting a proper full Jamaican pour

Blindtasting #4: first sensation: Hampden HLCF. Some funk and sweetness. Tropical fruits. On the palate: watered down. Rather sweet. Some funk and fruits - could be HLCF 🤔 Cheers, Johannes for the set - was a blast to taste.

Nummer vier von Johannes Blindverkostung Sampelset. Für mich ein typischer Jamaicaner, Richtung Hampden im Low Esterbereich. Insgesamt aber ein wenig zu dünn und verwässert. Nichts was ich jetzt nochmal bräuchte.

Johannes Blind-Tasting-Set Nr. 4 In der Nase nehme ich Zitrusfrüchte und leichte Esternoten wahr. Am Gaumen ist er extrem süß, fast so, als wäre eine Dosage hinzugefügt worden. Mit der Zeit gesellen sich etwas Bitterstoffe und Piment hinzu. Diese dominieren dann auch den Abgang. Insgesamt erscheint mir der Rum recht eindimensional..meine Vermutung geht in Richtung Südamerika oder Verschnitt

Vielen Johannes für diese Blind Tasting. #No.4 Nase ist etwas seltsam.... etwas Ester aber nicht wirklich lecker eher wie ein Jamaica Rum der in einem Kunststoffbehälter gelagert wurde ...mmh Am Gaumen dann um einiges besser... Erst kurze leichte Süße dann eindeutig Jamaica mir Tropischen Früchten und Kleber 😊 ... wirkt aber auch hier etwas künstlich , dennoch nicht schlecht am Gaumen.

Blind Tasting Set von Johannes (danke dafür): Nase nach ein Jamaikaner, mit etwas Ester und Frucht, aber mit einer für mich sehr unangenehmen Note dabei. Am Gaumen immer noch Jamaikaner, aber sehr dünn und verwässert.

Johannes Bild Tasting. Besten Dank für diese Gelegenheit! 😊 Schwierige Verkostung. Direkt Hampden in der Nase und Mund… typischer Jamaica mit Ester und Früchten. Insgesammt aber nichts was freude macht.

Gar nicht meins. Die Nase zeigt schon eine etwas seltsame Wachsnote neben tropischen Früchten und herb-würzigem Fasseinfluss. Am Gaumen wirds leider nicht besser, zur eher ungewöhnlichen Melange gesellt sich noch eine recht präsente Röstnote, die mir endgültig die Freude nimmt.

Verschnitt. Muffige Nase. Im Geschmack nicht klar definierbar. Kaum Melasse oder Rum Noten. Aber auch kein schlechter Schnaps. Wohl eher zum backen geeignet.
