Burke's Original Jamaica 75% 700ml is a powerful rum with an impressively high ABV, offering a vibrant and aromatic experience that captures the essence of Jamaican rum. This particular bottle was produced by Burke's distillery, with its origins linked to the prestigious Rum Albrecht, now known as Rum Artesanal. Although it was last produced in 1994, the rum defies its age, tasting remarkably fresh and clean. The nose is a bold invitation with dominant esters, raisin, fruity notes, glue, and spices, presenting a quintessential Jamaican character. The palate, surprisingly smooth despite its high alcohol content, reveals an intricate blend of pungent esters, spicy undertones, butterscotch, and vanilla. The finish is long and dry, leaving a lingering taste of spicy, fruity, and solvent notes. Overall, Burke's Original Jamaica 75% 700ml stands out with its straightforward yet complex flavor profile, showcasing an intense fruity, spicy, and solvent-forward rum that is both bold and smooth. This rum was well-received in blind tastings, scoring a commendable 78/100, and it is particularly noted for its bold flavors and smooth finish. Among the various Jamaican rums sampled, Burke's Original Jamaica 75% holds its ground as a flavorful and aromatic choice.
