Color
Deep, dark amber with a reddish hue.
Aroma
Rich aromas of raisins and red berries at first, followed by dark chocolate and warm baking spices. The Dominican component brings a mild, vanilla-driven roundness, while the Venezuelan rum adds structure and depth. The port wine contributes a youthful, juicy wine note — fruity and vibrant rather than heavy or oxidised.
Palate
Soft and well balanced, pleasantly sweet without becoming cloying. Notes of chocolate chip cookies, light oak and dried fruits unfold across the palate. The port-derived sweetness wraps everything in a velvety layer, reminiscent of light milk chocolate with raisins. Despite the sweet entry, the overall impression is surprisingly poised and not sticky.
Finish
Long and warmly spiced. Chocolate, raisins and a touch of oak remain on the palate, with a gentle warmth that invites the next sip.
Overall Impression
The most complex and “dark” bottling in the core line. Ideal as an evening sipper, neat or over a large ice cube, and an excellent base for dessert-style cocktails or after‑dinner drinks where chocolate and dried fruit notes shine.
You know the special moment: The sails are lowered, the boat anchors quietly in a lonely bay and the glowing sun sets into the sea after a wonderful sailing trip. Now it's time for a drink that perfectly captures this unique atmosphere.
That's why we created JJs Manöverschluck. Based on fine rum from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela and mixed with rich port wine, it develops notes of raisins, dark chocolate and spices.

By sailors for sailors
We love to sail ourselves. David preferably on the Baltic Sea and Jens in the Mediterranean. During a joint sailing trip, we came up with the idea for a new favorite drink. This became JJs Manöverschluck.
Award-winning design
Our bottles come in a striking maritime design. The colors of buoys and navigational beacons are applied to the bottles in a special process and the wooden corks are reminiscent of the many beautiful wooden boats. We received the world-renowned iF Design Award for our design.
Our contribution:
The cleanest seas
As sailors ourselves, we enjoy the relaxation at sea that nature gives us. We notice that the seas are getting more and more polluted. That's why we donate 50 cents for every bottle of JJs Manöverschluck sold to the organization The Ocean Cleanup, which works to keep the oceans clean.
In recognition of our commitment, we received the "Global Green Award".
