Edit: killer Daiquiri Vergleich zwischen den zwei ABV Bomben von Romdeluxe. Was soll ich sagen, einen großen Schluck braucht man von beiden nicht nehmen. Wahrlich sind beide absolute Esterexplosionen. Irgendwann verliert man den Überblick was man alles an Geruch-und Geschmacksrichtungen entdeckt hat. Nach zwei bis dreimal hin und her probiert, kann ich leider vor lauter Geschmacksexplosionen nichts mehr wirklich unterscheiden. Fazit beide haben Charme und es gibt für mich keinen wirklichen Favoriten.
Phew, given the ABV of this rum I feel like a bloody beginner ... 🥴 The pesky fruit fly did not seem to feel that way, death-defying, it immediately pounced on the DOK and paid for this tease with its life. 🤷♂️ [No fake!] So, this rum should be taken with a grain of salt. Yes, there is a lot of tempting tropical fruit, but also a fulminant aroma carrier - and that is alcohol. Conclusion: should have tried, (especially if you want to feel like a beginner again). Oh, and if you wanted to draw a comparison in these regions: I found last year's incredible HGML (surprising overachiever from Romdeluxe at last year's GRF) more drinkable and digestible despite its 86%.
Extremely good DOK! I'd love to try it in a daiquiri, but it's too expensive for me...😅 Nothing comes close to the fine drams in terms of price/performance. Still a great thing here for high ester power drinks!
What a rum! Here is Hampden in all its splendor! The fruits of the distillery are well present (Banana / Pineapple / Mango / Sour cherry / Strawberry), a huge empyreumatic side due to the esters does not calm the beast (Copper / Rubber / Smoke / Tar / Solvent...).It is spicy in the Jam way (Clove / Nutmeg / Cumin / Pepper (chilli) / Cinnamon).the absence of wood brings us a nice vegetal side as well as a nice freshness (Licorice / Citrus / Sap / Green / Hay / The (green / bergamot)).it is also greedy and pastry Cream / Brioche.
