Navy Island Worthy Park & Hampden & Monymusk Jamaica XO
Poured neat it reads as a mild, ripe-banana Jamaican with caramel and light barrel spice, but most tasters agree the palate thins out and the 40% shows through. A blend of Worthy Park, Hampden and Monymusk that hints at ester funk without ever hitting hard. Several people reach for it in cola or tropical cocktails, where the fruit holds up better than it does on its own.
The community says- Ripe banana nose
- Easy entry to Jamaica
- Thin, watery palate

How does Navy Island Worthy Park & Hampden & Monymusk Jamaica XO taste?
Aggregated from 182 community reviews.
Mild, banana-heavy Jamaican, thin on the palate A gentle first Jamaican that many find too watery and thin neat. The banana-forward nose is the highlight; the palate falls off. Handy for mixing, divisive for sipping.

The rum has a light golden hue. A strong oily sweet smell, heavy, very pleasant. The taste is quite sweet, the body is rather light, tasting somewhat of pastry. A very tasty drop...

Review by Stefan Persson
The Navy Island Jamaican Rum XO is a blend of pot and column still rums from Worthy Park, Hampden and Moneymusk. The rum is named after Navy Island, a small tropical island near the coast of Jamaica once owned by Errol Flynn. It’s matured in ex bourbon casks and bottled at just 40% ABV.

Sehr gut um Jamaica mit etwas Funk kennenlernen.
Review by Gregor
JoA there are better but also worse ones. A few esters are recognizable and there is also a clear fruity note. Unfortunately, the product is very watered down. Absolutely thin. A few percent more could really have made this blend much better
Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:The nose, well balanced, opens with a beautiful, extremely ripe banana. The rum is slightly coppery and above all brioche-like, with long ribbons of ripe exotic fruit.We could say Worthy Park like. Airing brings milk chocolate, a creamy texture and pastry aromas. Cherries are followed by black tea and dried banana. 7,5:The palate is very smooth, a typically Jamaican rum, gourmet with honey pastry and brioche flavors (prunes, candied fruit, custard, cherry, malted cereals). 7,4:The finish is pretty long, with flambéed, dried banana, accompanied by a sweet pineapple juice, little spicy.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sehr scharf und metallisch an der Nase trotz Trinkstärke. in Geschmack eher dünn und verwässert, leider kaum Frucht, kaum funk eher nur Fass, Tannine, minimal birne und banane und metallisch und nicht gut zu trinken. überzeugt mich absolut gar nicht.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Now there's an old hat. I already drank this rum two years ago. Back then I rated it 8.0. Now I've downgraded it a bit; it's a little too sweet for me and there are definitely better ones. Very fruity on the nose and especially peach stands out in the taste.
Review by Robert Houba
Nádech koňaku, tropické ovoce, lehce ostřejší.
Review by Johannes
Relatively thin, but you can clearly taste worthy park.
Review by Sir Diesel
Adventskalender 2025, super unaufgeregt im Mund ohne Höhen und Tiefen, leicht pfeffrig im Abgang
Review by Eric Frechin
Surprised in a good way by this product. I thought I would come across a sweetened and spiced mass-market rum. It's not like that at all. It's a blend from renowned Jamaican distilleries. It's nicely rounded around exotic fruitiness, a soft toasted woodiness, and very slight smoky notes and esters.
Review by WillNett
Adventskalender 2025 Überraschend, anders als der Geruch erwarten ließ. Leider trotzdem nicht so ganz mein Geschmack.
Review by DomM
Nose starts with a very intense grain/barley note to it. After some time in the Glas it is dominated by the WP component somewhat fighting with sour Hampden pineapples in my mind. Taste is very sweet and vanilla forwards. Some wood and only the lightest hint of fruits.
Review by ElReyTristan
Nez qui s’ouvre qu’après une bonne demi heure d’aération. Au départ il n’y a qu’une odeur d’alcool bas de gamme avec un peu d’hydrocarbure. Après une bonne demi heure il reste toujours une odeur d’hydrocarbure mais des notes ferreuse proche du cuivre viennent s’ajouter à un un peu de banane. En bouche c’est astringent, l’alcool est très râpeux et il y a très peu de notes gourmandes, en cherchant bien il y a un peu de banane mais elle est vraiment insignifiante. Tout comme ce rhum qui n’apporte rien de plus en finale pour moi.
Review by heckto🥃
Typical Jamaican. Tropical-fruity on the nose. On the palate, banana, vanilla, and grain. Neat it's okay, nothing more, nothing less. Great for tropical cocktails. Good value for money.

Vôňa lepidla, umelé sladidlá , do koly
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
After some time again neat tasted - I had more pleasant and rounder in memory. Still: good, intense and powerful mixer. Bought it because I've been to Navy Island on Jamaica some years ago 😉
