interesting thing – here in south africa, where this rum is bottled, it’s branded “jack tarr” with two r’s instead of one. everything else about the bottle (and, i would assume, its contents) is exactly the same, from the pirate and parrot image to the “superior blended dark rum” underneath.

go figure.

At The Rum Project Forum and after reviewing over 100 rums I have come to appreciate real rums, particularly those with a Jamaican element that emanates from their unique fermentation and dunder, or mock pits.

Bilge, you are absolutely correct to call this a “Best Buy” for this pungent and hearty Jamaican rum (bottled in S. Africa). Jack Tar is a clear lighter amber with medium legs. Please approach it carefully and let it air. A very high nosing revealed a nice light, sweet orangy vanilla cream caramel. Go in and the Jamaican pot still dunder takes over, along with a deep tarry orange leather. The palate opens smooth and sweet – a deep, dark orange – and builds to a black licorice, astringent leather and hot white pepper mouth and throat finish and aftertaste.

This is my kind of rum.

Hmmm… It used to be there, listed with all the others, but seems to have been removed. I don’t think the rum itself ever had a unique page of its own, so I don’t know where that leaves it. Discontinued? New distributor? Limbo?
