RA Burke‘s Single Blended Rum 2020
Here's the surprise: this unaged white blend drinks fuller and rounder than you'd expect at 61%. It's a Jamaica-meets-Réunion ester bomb — overripe banana and pineapple, funky fruit, a green olive and medicinal edge from the Savanna side. Several tasters catch that faint metallic, unaged note. Most reach for it in a daiquiri, though a few happily sip it slow with a drop of water.
The community says- Funky, fruity nose
- Great in daiquiris

Funky white ester blend, daiquiri favorite A loved white ester blend: funky, fruity, and famously good value. Most call it a killer mixer that also holds up neat; a few find it too metallic or Savanna-heavy.

You get a lot for your money whether you drink it pure, be sure to rest it for a good while, or in a Coca Cola where it also shines. The nose is funky with fruit, grass, ester, solvents and light vanilla. The palate is also intense, funky and fruity with ester, gras and very light vanilla. The finish is very long and fruity with spices and a touch of grass. Mixes very well with a Coca Cola!
Review by Mirco
Mega blend of Hampden and Savanna at a terrific price-performance ratio. Extremely complex for a white rum. Fruity, floral and funky. Great in cocktails such as Daiquiri and Maitai.
Review by Oliver
Conjures up sensational daiquiris 🤤🍸
Review by Jakob
RumX Community Tasting mit Rum Artesanal zur Tasting Lottery Juni 2023: Toller Blend, sehr präsente Savanna Grand Arôme Noten, die Jamaika-Einflüsse sind vorhanden, aber die Savanna-Noten sind meines Erachtens nochmal deutlich ausgeprägter. Toller Rum mit begeisterndem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Review by zabo
Danals bei der Verlosung auf RumX ein Sample Set gewonnen inkl. eines Online Tastings. Leider muss ich sagen dass dieser Pur nicht so mein Fall ist. Den Rest vom sample mit Cola verkostet, aber dort macht er eine gute Figur. Als Mixer gelungen und zu einem fairen Preis zu haben.
Review by Johannes
Ein super Blend! Jamaika-Ester treffen auf überreife Savanna-Früchte! Chapeau!
Review by HenryL
Was für eine Granate! Einer der besten unaged Rums die ich hatte und das zu einem unschlagbaren Preis. Macht pur richtig Spaß mit einem Zusammenspiel aus jamaikanischem Funk und Savanna Frucht. Und dabei ist die Olivennote die man in so manchem jamaika Overproof findet hier dezent genug, dass sie mich nicht stört. Lediglich die leichte Specknote im Abgang stört mich etwas. In Drinks ist der Rum ebenfalls sensationell, sowohl im Daiquiri als auch als Add On im Mai Tai
Review by Fasen
Blend Jam / Réunion avec LP / HMP / MNM / Savannah (20%). Ce rhum nous envoi directement une dose de fruits surmuri (Tropicaux et Quelques fruits rouges) avec un touche de fraîcheur (Gingembre / Citron). Celle-ci est très contrasté avec la lourdeur empyreumatique et sombre de ce rhum (Viande / Fumé / Goudron / Métal chaud / Caoutchouc). La réunion en plus du gros côté végétale (Foin / Frais / Poivron vert) nous amène des olives vertes en saumure plutôt iodé se qui la aussi contraste beaucoup avec les jus jamaïquain. On trouve un pointe de gourmandise avec un petit côté crème carbonisé qui fait ça place avec les épices très présentes (Vanille / Muscade / Girofle / Réglisse / Cannelle). Blend intéressant étant donné qu'on arrive plutôt bien à sentir les deux terroir.Vont-ils bien ensemblent?
Review by DomM
Really nice white blend. I sense a lot of savanna fruits, I think 🤔
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Verkostet im Rahmen des RA-Online-Tastings zur RumX-Lotterie 06/2023. Im Cocktail bestimmt eine Bombe. Aber zum Purtrinken nicht gerade geeignet oder einladend.
Review by Thunderbird
Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist gut! Für mich ein idealer Cocktail-Rum
Review by Lukas Jäger
Schöne Mischung zweier Esterbomben, die pur klargeht, im Daiquiri (und auch anderen Drinks) aber auch gut kickt! Jamaika (Hampden?) und Réunion (Savanna!) und damit zwei starke High-Ester-Vertreter zaubern einen Blend, der trotz der fehlenden Lagerung recht fett und breit daherkommt. Für mich persönlich sind die Savanna-Aromen ein bisschen zu dominant, vor allem am Gaumen, aber insgesamt trotzdem ein schöner ungelagerter Blend!
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The relationship between Hampden and ReUnion is balanced. It is still quite spicy and very fruity dominant. Unfortunately, it still tastes a bit metallic because it is not aged. A good mixer, but here it lost most of the berry flavors. I would like to express my gratitude to Rum Artesanal for the flavor sets 🙏🏻
Review by Boletus
Auch wenn der Begriff „Single Blended Rum“ auf dem Label bei einem Blend aus zwei verschiedenen Ländern bzw. Destillerien natürlich Quatsch ist, der Rum selbst ist es definitiv nicht. Nicht nur im Daiquiri ein Traum, auch pur gefällt mir diese ansprechende Aromenvielfalt aus tropischen Noten und roten Beeren, ohne nennenswerte Lösungsmittel- oder Biomüllkomponenten, richtig gut.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Sensationelle Nase. Fand mich hat Hampden direkt angesprungen. Love at first sight. Überraschenderweise war der Gaumen wesentlich blumiger mit dunklen/blauen Früchten. Erinnert mich an Le Galion. Medizinale Noten sind ebenfalls vorhanden, ordentlich Power. Bestimmt top für Drinks!
Review by Leo Krüper
Schöner Pot Still Blend. Sicher ein sehr guter Mixer.
Review by Agricoler
Absolut gelungen einer der besten weißen Mixrums. Aber auch pur Spitze für den Preis.
Review by Rare Akuma
This is a multi-distillery blend, but I was too stubborn to look up the exact composition and rather tried to decipher it myself. Extremely fruity nose, immediately reminiscent of a LP STCE and/or Savanna HERR profile. Difficult to say which fruits aren’t included; I discover banana and plantains, sour pineapple juice, berry mix with primarily blackberry and strawberry, and stewed red rhubarb. Sweetness sourced from fructose, but there is a hint of leafy sugarcane. Slightly butyric into hot glue gun; perhaps some HD HLCF mixed in. Juniper and a hint of pimento makes it lightly woody yet vibrant. The nostrils are left with longjing tea, green olives and geraniums. Tasting more or less continues the same experience. The fruits are dialed back a notch as sugarcane and spices become more dominant. Some vanilla pod is introduced as well as peppers and lots of salt leaves the mouth watery. The aftertaste is medicinal with solvents, hot glue and green tea. Finish is short and fruity. The banana and plantains are mostly lost, but pineapple, berries and rhubarb persist. Fresh with juniper and a sprinkle of olive brine. Stuff like this is why I love white rums.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Ce blend est un assemblage de rhums blancs de 2 origines : 80% de Jamaique (Long Pond – Monymusk et Hampden) et 20% de l’île de la Réunion (Savanna). La teneur en ester est de 444 g/hpaa (les différentes origines variant de 200g/hpaa à 1200g/hpaa). Ce Millésime de 2020 a été embouteillé à 61% pour 2000 bouteilles. Alors que dire de cette union entre un rhum High Ester de Jamaïque et de la Réunion ? Nez : pas très surprenant des esters en pagailles, des fruits mûrs et une pointe de fraise Bouche : très fruitée, des épices et quelques notes herbacées Malgré les 61%, c’est très bien intégré et agréable à déguster pur. Même si sa vocation première est la mixologie ! Que dire de plus hormis que c’est une bombe à retardement ? Cette union Jam/Savanna est réussie.
