A blend of a Hampden, a younger Long Pond and a foreground apricot note. It goes most in the direction of a Low Ester Marks like HLCF Hampden 1992, but is not quite typical for it. I don't know such an apricot note from any other Hampden. In any case, an exciting and in my eyes fantastic rum!

Blindverkostun: A very pleasant Sipper from Jamaica, with varied flavors, but very difficult to assign a particular distillery!Nice fruity, a perceptible wood impact, light funk and subtle ester!Successful bottlingToday tasted for the 2nd time, the first impression has been confirmed! On the palate I now taste a little more wood out...possibly Hampden HLCF or Clarendon!

In the nose much Hampden us very appealing. Wonderful fragrance. In the mouth rather on the milder side. Good Jamaican. All the elements are very well connected. The finish is also surprisingly long . Flavorful and very well balanced. Very good rum.

Ein feines Tröpfchen… Nase: schön vielschichtiger Jamaikaner mit mittlerem Ester-Gehalt. Kakaopulver und Toffee sind zuerst präsent, dahinter eine feine Süße von Passionsfrucht und gedeckter Papaya. Ich meine auch eine leichte Rauch-Note von Tabak zu vernehmen. Dann wieder eine herbe Süße von Ahornsirup und etwas Holz. Sehr angenehm. Gaumen: die 50,1% sind überhaupt nicht zu spüren. Fast wirkt er etwas dünn. Ganz leicht nur die Ester. Etwas Mandarine und deutlich Orangeat. Die Süße erinnert mich an in Wasser aufgelösten, gebrannten Zucker. Hinten etwas ins Grüne gehend mit Liebstöckel. Angenehm und rund, bedarf er schon einer feineren Zunge, um seine Tiefen zu offenbaren. Ist einen zweiten Schluck wert.

ich bin hier bei einem mid-range Ester (LROK, HLCF) HD der vielleicht einer zu starken Oxidation ausgesetzt war. Zitrusfrüchte-Marker sind vorhanden. Dazu kommt Vanille, Joghurt, Pflaume und etwas das in Richtung Rhabarber geht. Der Gaumen ist rund, gar nicht so holzig für die 25 Jahre im Fass. Der Abgang ist leider etwas kurz. Insgesamt aber ein ausgesprochen leckerer Sipper!

The nose is lovely, exactly what I like to get from some Jamaican rums: Ester, tropical fruit and a touch of overripe fruit. In the mouth the rum falls a bit short as none of the aromas really stands out and is a little flat. I would have given a few more points if the aromas stood out a little more. Thank you for the sample Eugen.

Last sample of the E(a)ster calendar! Well balanced Jamaican rum, very fruity on the nose, with a touch of spices. My first experience with this bottler, and it is good enough to let me crave for more :)

#12 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: I think this one is from Jamaica. There’s a little bit of funk, but not Hampden like…🤔 approx 20. years of aging approx. 45% Low-Mid ester Result: This is an easy sipper. A mixture of various fruits (citrus, mandarin, orange, sour cherry) combined with some esters and a very well integrated barrel. The alcohol is integrated very well, seems diluted (in mouth), isn‘t it? 🤔 The finish is medium long and very delicious. All in all a lovely rum

Schöne Nase mit Früchten wie Kirsche, Traube und Mirabelle. Gaumen mit Gewürzen, Vanille, eine angenehme Süße sowie dezente Holz/Fass Note. Extrem mild am Gaumen. Ein Klasse-Rum.

Von Gesamteindruck würde auch ich hier auf Hampden schließen, allerdings doch auch sehr ungewöhnlich. Die Hampden-Aromatik ist da, auch ganz eindeutig, aber versteckt sich vor allem am Gaumen erstmal, bevor sie plötzlich und erwartet doch den ganzen Raum einnimmt. Vor allem eindeutig die leicht saure Trockenheit, die sich nach dem Schlucken einstellt und bei anderen Hampden stundenlang bestehen bleibt. Ansonsten vor allem spannende Nase, irgendwas fehlt mir im Geschmack. Vielleicht etwas zu dünn für das Alter? Trotzdem tolle Abfüllung, vor allem mit der Hintergrundgeschichte!

Vom Geruch würde ich sagen, dass es sich hier um einen Hampden handelt aber auch nicht ganz typisch. Es fehlt die durchdringende Banane und Zitrusfrucht. Im Geschmack setzt sich das Geruchsempfinden noch deutlicher fort. Ein total untypischer Hampden. Es fehlt der Punch, den man bei einem Hampden erwartet. Auch im Abgang finden wir keinen dominierenden Hampden. Dennoch ein guter Tropfen, den ich empfehlen würde.

Spannender Tropfen. Kam nach langem schnüffeln am leeren Glas zur Erkenntnis das hier ne gute Portion Long Pond mit drin sein dürfte.

Must be a Hampden (or maybe Long Pond?). Typical funk and esters in the nose. Tropical overload. Very Jamaican. Taste: balanced. All of the above well placed together. A bit dry. Great stuff.

Nase wird mit der Zeit fruchtiger und auch florale Note treten hervor. Am Gaumen ähnlich, wobei ich eine ungewohnte Koriander-Note wahrgenommen habe. Spannender Rum.
