How does this rum taste?
A Martinique agricole with a Kilchoman whisky cask twist, HSE Kilchoman Single Cask Finish stands out for its assertively smoky, peated character. The nose and palate are dominated by whisky, smoke, and woody undertones, with subtler hints of spice, malt, and gentle fruit. As @TheRhumhoe puts it, “Un rhum déroutant de par l’influence du whisky... la finale est à nouveau dominée par les notes fumées.” Some find it an acquired taste (“Sooo strong peated whisky taste” —Pavel Spacek), but the blend of agricole freshness and bold Islay intensity is intriguing. Available on RumX for those ready to explore unique cask finishes and community favorites.

An intriguing rum with a whisky influence. The nose is imbued with smoky, peaty notes, typical of whisky. The rum adds a slight spiciness. The whisky comes first on the palate, with the rum bringing a sweeter, fruitier note behind. The finish is again dominated by smoky notes. A rum that may be unsettling at first taste, but is still enjoyable.
Durch das ''Kilchoman''-Fass werden zusätzlich spannende Facetten zum eh schon feinen Rhum hinzugefügt. Mir gefällt es gut!
Velmi zajimavy pocin s kilchomanem. Bohuzel v ramci rumu to dostalo doat vyrazny dojezd po whisce. Za mne ktery jede i v kourovkach je to paradni kousek s jemnou whiskou hned po prvnich souskach postupne mizici a vystupujici agricola smetonovost a lehka korenitost.
Opět brutálně prohulenej kousek. Jak bezdomovec na nádraží. Ve vůni je zcela dominantní whisky a kouř. V chuťi opěr člověk nejdřív chvílku cumlá popelníček, ale postupně se objeví i ovocně tóny. Nedávno jsem pil rum se stejným finishem od plantationu a tam mě to bavilo. Tady je to tak nějak divně moc. Edit. Ke konci vzorku to začíná být o fous příjemější, alw přesto si myslím, že je tento finish vhodnější pro melasovéo rumy.
