RA Ethereal Blended Rum (Single Cask Rum Blog)
The surprise here is how well two very different rums lock together: fat Jamaican fruit-esters (pineapple, banana, marzipan) sitting on a dark, spicy Guyana backbone of wood and roast. At 58.4% it's intense but well-knit, and tasters keep finding new corners — citrus peel, clove, chocolate, dried fruit. Several guessed Hampden or New Yarmouth blind. A blend that genuinely earns the fuss.

- Fruit-ester harmony

How does RA Ethereal Blended Rum (Single Cask Rum Blog) taste?
Aggregated from 43 community reviews.
Complex, high-proof Jamaica-Guyana blend Members are near-unanimous: a complex, evolving Jamaica-Guyana blend where the two origins harmonize beautifully. The only quibbles are a slightly reserved nose and, for some, wanting more Guyana.

Einfach großartig, bitte mehr davon!
Review by Oliver
Wow, what a terrific blend! Perfect Jamaica base with sophisticated Guyana notes. Very cool!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
What a board. New Yarmouth meets Hampden meets Guyana REV. New Yarmouth brings cookie dough, tangerine peel and pastry, Hampden brings the fat, oily butter and fruit esters and Guyana REV brings the backbone with intense dark spice flavors and wood roast aromas to round it all off. The finish is almost sesame caramel or baklava with pineapple and citrus marmalade. Grandiose bottling! A perfect navy rum! Edit: I would probably rate it at 8.1-8.4 blind but when you know what's in it and what it "only" cost, the rating is automatically massively adjusted 😅
Review by Jakob
Chapeau to the two gentlemen blenders. An impressively good rum, the already outstanding ingredients create an extremely impressive interplay of aromas... everything that characterizes an outstanding navy blend is here in terms of taste. This bottling is simply a hell of a lot of fun!
Review by Thunderbird
It has finally landed in my glass. And I have to say, it's worth it. It is very complex and multi-faceted in terms of aromas. From the nose to the finish, there are always new nuances. It is pleasantly soft and yet very intense in the mouth. The blend of fruit, esters, spices and wood is very balanced and harmonizes perfectly. A first-class blend that was unfortunately only available in very limited quantities. All the more reason for me to thank the noble donor 🙇♂️
Review by cigares
Calendrier de l’Avent RumX, jour 23. Un très beau nez d’esters maîtrisés et de fruits tropicaux, ananas, banane et agrumes. De la douceur aussi. La bouche est douce et délicieuse, avec des fruits mais nettement moins qu’au nez. Le bois est en soutien et l’ABV doit être plutôt bas. La finale est douce et plutôt longue. Un très beau rhum, avec du caractère et de la douceur,tout à fait délicieux même si l’ABV est plutôt bas.

ein wahnsinniger 😎guter Blend
Review by w00tAN
Erster Eindruck in der Nase „Hallo Jamaica“ aber wir haben ja spätestens gestern gelernt: Erst mal stehen lassen ;) Mit der Zeit Frucht Zitrusfrüchte? Im Mund dann Vollmundig, schöne Frucht und feine Süße. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden. Sehr lecker! So zweite Charge und nicht mehr blind verkostet, bilde mich mir ein die Bestandteile deutlicher zu erkennen. Gefällt mir wirklich außerordentlich gut dieser Blend.
Review by Agricoler
Tag 23 RumX Adventskalender Hui ja das ist lecker!!! Viel Ester und richt schöne Fassnoten in der Nase. Die Früchte sind für mich leicht tropisch mit ein bisschen rotem süßem Apfel und Vanille und Mandarine. Im Geschmack überhaupt kein Abfall. Schöne Gewürze (Bratapfel/winterlich). Richtig toll fruchtiger Abgang.

RumX Advent Calendar 2024 Day 23 What a great blend, thanks for that. Has a lot of power and really puts you in a good mood. Too bad there were so few bottles of it. I would like to have one or two in reserve.
Review by mto75
RX Kalender 24: An der Nase zuerst HD Ester, die aber schon nach ein paar Minuten auch Platz machen für Kuchengewürz, Backteig, frische Kräuter, Fass, Trockenfrüchte, Orangenabrieb. Wirklich extrem abwechslungsreich und vielschichtig an der Nase! Am Gaumen röstig, Kaffee, Tabak, Leder,aber auch fruchtig (Grapefruit?). Toller Blend!
Review by Manuel
Ausgezeichneter Blend aus einem Guyana & Jamaika Rum. Für mich sind die Guyana Einflüsse deutlich präsenter, was ich aber gerne so mag. Dieser Blend fliegt etwas unter dem Radar weil es leider nur sehr wenige Flaschen gibt.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Some esters in the nose, heavy complex profile, a lot of wood, a bit astringent in the finish. For me not really sweetness in the finish, but wood and bitterness (not in a bad way). I’m also in Jamaica somewhere but I’m really lost what would fit the bill here. Old Clarendon usually has more mint to it in my mind… The Appleton hearts have that Jamaica/Guyana crossover feel to it, but I don’t remember the ester part in it so pronounced. The older Hampdens and Long Ponds that I’ve tasted are usually fruitier. Maybe a blend indeed? Don’t think I’ve ever had it in the glass. Really curious about the outcome!
Review by Timo Groeger
RumX Adventskalender 2024 Tag 23. Hier haben wir einen wirklich genialen Blend bestehend aus Jamaica und Guyana. In der Nase Ester, aber auch Ananas und Kräuter. Am Gaumen ist er dann sehr würzig, Ananas und Ester aber weiterhin erkennbar.
Review by Frank
Es überwiegt der Jamaica-Einfluss (klar, 2/3 Ester!), das 1/3 Guyana tut dem Blend richtig gut. Zitrus-fruchtig mit schönem würzig-holzigem Einschlag. Gefällt.
Review by Righrum
That's really difficult to guess. The nose and the finish point towards and old rum from Guadalupe, all or partially molasses based, with agrumes, leather, old wood. All of these will appear again in the finish When in comes to the palate, this is another rum, with a lot of esters and tropical fruit. Impossible to say what this is, indeed this is a great rum
Review by Alexander Rasch
Kalender 2024 Tag 23: Eine schwierige Kiste, da sich so vieles vermischt. Dunkel aber auch Lack und ein gewissen Funk. Könnte ein Low Ester Jamaica Rum sein, aber da irritieren die Kräuter. Evtl. mit starkem Finish. Aber wahrscheinlich ein Blend. Genauer kann ich es nicht definieren. Auf jeden Fall viel tropische Lagerung, ca. 60% und viel Holz. Sehr lecker. Edit: ein hervorragender Blend. Sehr schöner Tropfen. Jamaica und Guyana passt einfach perfekt. Freu mich sehr den Rum probieren zu können. Großes Kino. Top.
Review by Boletus
Tag 23 des RumX-Adventskalenders: Nur dezente Ester sind hier am Werk, aber dennoch hat dieser Rum durch seine intensive Reifung ein sehr ansprechendes Aromenpaket am Start. Die Kombination aus Tropenfruchtigkeit mit der natürlichen Grundsüße von gebranntem Zucker und röstig-toastiger Eiche mitsamt ein paar Gewürzbeigaben weiß zu überzeugen. Sehr lecker!
Review by RumTaTa
Schon am der Nase machen sich charakteristische Merkmale verschiedener Destillerien bemerkbar. Ich glaube Long Pond und Hampden zu identifizieren. Auf Guyane bin ich nicht gekommen - hatte wegen den Schokoladennoten auf Panama gesetzt. Am Gaumen recht alkoholisch mit den gleichen Aromen plus Fass. Schöner langer schokoladiger Nachklang.
Review by Martin Spooner
Blindverkostung Adventskalender 2024: die Nase sagt Jamaika. Wenig esternoten aber dennoch erkennbar. Am Gaumen schon schäfe zu schmecken. Dazu Schokolade etwas kirschiges hat er trotzdem an sich. Nicht schlecht.
