How does this rum taste?
Explosive, elegant high‑ester Hampden
If you love intense C<>H or Savanna Grand Arôme and want a more mature, balanced take, this bottle delivers massive ester power with added elegance and oak complexity.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, very tannic/acidy profiles, or those looking for an easy, sweet sipper rather than a demanding, ester‑driven continental aged Hampden.

It causes a real alarm in the glass. You are almost overwhelmed by glue, solvents and varnish as soon as you put your nose over the glass. Despite this - or perhaps because of it - you want to keep smelling, as the situation gradually eases a little and other aromas come to the fore. In the mouth - contrary to expectations - the fruity notes dominate in the form of sweet pineapple, banana and mango. I really like it! For me, on a par with the Rumclub Treasure Cask C<>H. 2nd tasting: I simply love this rum. From the nose to the finish. An explosion of flavor on the palate.
Wow è così devastante all'olfatto con solventi, esteri e frutta a pasta gialla a farla da padrone, tutto avvolto dalla quercia e da un leggero calore alcolico che si rivela pepato. Sul retro olfatto esce fuori un leggero erbaceo che aggiunge una nuova spinta. In bocca limone e ananas dominano assieme al calore alcolico che esce sotto forma di solventi e viene subito smorzato dal pepato e dalla leggera dolcezza zuccherina generale un poco vanigliata. Il tutto ammorbidito dalla botte che chiude il sorso con sentori di cioccolato fondente e bruciacchiato. Il finale è di medio alta intensità e ritorna prepotente la frutta che da ananas e limone dona sfumature anche di prugna, con un tocco minerale. Chiude con del bruciato e dei frutti di bosco in un'alito di fumo.
For me much more funky than the 1990 ! Superbly integrated alcohol. Superb nose !
Big kill. Mouth furiously reminiscent of the savanna grand aroma compagnie des Indes
