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
- But: Thin, watery palate

How does Navy Island Worthy Park & Hampden & Monymusk Jamaica XO taste?
Aggregated from 192 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.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
17.05.2019 Nice get together at my place with nice spread of rums. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, sweet, light roasted wood, light earthy, banana, light caramel. Palate Light, wood, light roasted, fruity, sweet, light nutts, faint chocolate, faint grass, light tobacco, citrus. Finish Medium long, light, sweet, oily, light wood, citrus, faint chocolate, light caramel, vanilla.
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 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 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 Johannes
Relatively thin, but you can clearly taste worthy park.
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 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 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.
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 😉
Review by Rumpalumpa
An der Nase kommt hier eine fette ladung reife Banane. Erinnert glatt an einen Likör. Leichte Würze im Hintergrund, gefällt mir! Der Geschmack fällt da leider ab. Einfach zu dünn. Aber sicherlich ein guter Jamaika Einstieg
Review by Patrik Onderka
Got this rum as a sample from 24 days of rum advent calendat. And it was is an interesting blend of WP, Hampden and Monymusk. On nose, I felt a typical Hampden, esters cannot be denied by any means. On palate, this one loses the score and it is a bit sharp in the finish, but nevertheless this is an interesting blend.
Review by L ange
Sehr gut um Jamaica mit etwas Funk kennenlernen.
Review by rum_sk
Coming back to this one after a few years and I must say that I am very disappointed. Coming back from the DOK's and TECC's I have to say this is very very faint on both taste as well as nose. I just wish it would be less diluted and more prominent on the flavours overall, but hey maybe it's stronger counter part.
Review by Rumantisch
Jamaika für Anfänger mit einem ganz tollen ersten eindruck wo die reise hin Super mild und angenehm. ester warnehmbar aber zurückhaltend niemand wird hier erschlagen von Aromen. Für leute die nicht pur trinken passt er auch hervorragend in die cola
Review by Martin Ekrt
Naslazená karamelová vůně s ananasem a marcipánem. Chuťově to není průšvih, ale je to lehce na hraně, kdy bych řekl, že to je nějaký laciný alkohol. Je znát nevyzrálost. Závěr docela fajn s kombinací melasy a marcipánu, ananasu a hrušky.
Review by Nils123
Wo die Nase noch einigermaßen ok ist, fällt er im Geschmack und Abgang leider ab. Viel zu dünn und verwässert. Der könnte höchstens an heißen Sommertagen lohnenswert sein und/ oder in Drinks.
Review by Stefan Graßl
Quite well-balanced overall. Not bad at all for its price range.
Review by Robert Houba
Nádech koňaku, tropické ovoce, lehce ostřejší.
Review by Tomas Mileris
Sweet, looks like with additional sugar
Review by StefanR
Dieser Blend aus mehreren jamaikanischen Rums besticht durch seine Kraft und Komplexität. Würzige Noten gehen Hand in Hand mit Vanille- und Karamellnoten. Nuancen von Trockenfrüchten schwingen sowohl im Geruch als auch im Geschmack mit.
Review by Capitaine Cam
Rhum facile, rond, boisé Peu de fruit pour un jamaicain Sans surprise ni longueur
Review by Jack M
Nice blend of Jamaican rums.
Review by Stan Hardy
Macht Spaß.
Review by Radek Brix
Very, very, very light Jamaica in aroma and taste. The Jamaican roots are very easily recognizable, suitable for a beginner who has no experience with Jamaican rums. The finish is rather shorter and again light.
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 Daniel
Wer in die Rumwelt Jamaikas🇯🇲 eintauchen möchte, ist hier gut beraten. Schöner Einsteiger! Als junger Jamaikaner, weist der die typischen Geschmacksmerkmale auf ohne durch zu starke Ausprägungen zu verschrecken.
Review by Niko
A little far from the Jamaican markers, but very pleasant in its harmony!
Review by Miňo
Čakal som viac, ale v pohode pitelný rum.
Review by Tom 1968
Dieser Rum ist ein Blend mit 40% aus drei verschiedenen Jamaikanischen Destillen, die lange (XO) gelagert wurden. Der Alkohol schmeckt stärker heraus als man erwartet und die Aromen verlieren sich dadurch ein wenig. Man kann sagen, er ist etwas dünn. Fazit: Den würde ich nicht mal zum Mixen nehmen, da der Geschmack zu seicht ist. Zum Pur trinken ist er einfach zu schlecht.
Review by JanL
Schön goldfarbener Rum, der mich vom Geruch her nicht recht begeistern kann. Die Banane kommt für mich neben etwas Lack am deutlichsten rüber. Im Geschmack schon deutlich angenehmer, auch wieder Banane am dominierensten, dann irgendetwas fruchtiges, vielleicht Ananas. Ganz zum Schluss Birne. insgesamt angenehme Süße.
Review by WillNett
Adventskalender 2025 Überraschend, anders als der Geruch erwarten ließ. Leider trotzdem nicht so ganz mein Geschmack.
Review by Mc Pirate
Light color, but what a nose! Very greedy with ripe banana, liqueur, almost fig! Very pronounced exotic fruit and very present sweetness. Stronger palate, very strong for a 40%! Softer, shorter finish.
Review by ChristophFFM
Too light in taste and too thin in the finish. Has something creamy and woody in the mouth. I almost imagine a little smoke.
Review by Ondra RumRunner
Vůně je pěkná. Krásná vůně tropického ovoce. Chuť je slabší.
Review by Solidfunk
Light funk with some burnt tire, asfalt. Dark golden pour. A little bitterness at the end. Maybe some grapefruit. Day 13 on 24 days of rum calendar.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Fresh notes, easy drinking. However, nothing that would roll my socks off....
