    How does this rum taste?

    Explosive pineapple-and-ester funk with overripe tropical fruit is what RumX members love here. Caramel, toasted wood and a briny olive edge follow, with the 67.4% surprisingly well integrated once rested. The finish is long and funky, and value is a highlight. Highly rated by 78 reviewers, this limited 324-bottle cask strength Hampden rewards slow sipping.

    Absolutely brutal broadside of fermented fruit, especially kiwi

    Unquestionably the benchmark for Swell de Spirits. The nose is incredibly delicate for a Jamaican. Ripe tropical fruits open the ball, closely followed by harmonious notes of esters, solvents and glue. The nose gives off gourmet pastry flavors of marzipan, brioche and butter, with an almost fermented edge. Brine and olive add character, while lemon zest, caramel and vanilla round off this ample, generous and delicate profile. A true success that can be sniffed for hours. The attack on the palate is absolutely divine. The integration of alcohol approaches perfection. From tropical fruit to phenolic notes, caramel, marzipan, olive, peppery wood and rubber, the concentrated aromas blend perfectly to create a coherent, harmonious, deep and complex whole. The finish is very long, at once intense with funky fruit, phenolic and medicinal notes, and more delicate with dark chocolate, licorice and a salty, briny edge. Light roasted notes amplify the gourmand sensation. The rum sticks to the palate with its magnificent aromas, much to our delight. A rum with an assertive character, yet full of sweetness, that lives up to its reputation. A true standard-bearer for both Swell de Spirits and the Hampdens of this mark and vintage.

    So after the TRC2001 and the V&M2014 Sta(r)um now a tropical <>H stored from 2011 from Swell. Tropical simply remains tropical. In my opinion, this is the strongest of them all. Pretty tasty, a real hit at the price at the time. Unfortunately didn't get a bottle of it.

    #4097 Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money with this release. Intense and fruity yet well balanced once rested. All the elements are very well balanced and I like the light nutty note. The empty glass is really nice and I can find some chocolate and a light smoky note.
