Nose is very nice. It has a lingering smoked pepper / chipotle bbq note which I like very much. This comes alongside classic Hampden notes with pineapple (acidity as well as grilled) and some marzipan. Very nice. Intense yet well balanced on the palate. Smokiness is present again but not dominating. I get some herbal notes alongside Hampden funk with grilled pineapple and tropical fruits.
Leckerer kontinentaler Hampden mit toll rauchiger Note, welche wunderbar zur Ananas, dem feinen Holz und den eingekochten Früchten mit Gewürzen passt. Am Gaumen ist auch etwas Schärfe (Chili) da, welche mit Ananas und Rauch richtig Lust auf Grillen macht. Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein.
A well-made Hampden without being wow. The alcohol could have been better integrated into the nose.
FUNKY ! Wow, cette odeur ! On se téléporte en Jamaïque dans la demi seconde. De la colle, des fruits très mûrs. Puis un ananas doux et subtil. La première gorgée est forte. Les 62° sont bien là. C'est fort et piquant. Presque comme du piment (fort). Immédiatement, le feu est calmé pour une gourmandise incroyable. Tout ce sucre et ce fruit ! Le piquant reste très longtemps en bouche. L'ananas est présent en arrière-plan également. Puis l'aération laissent apparaître une touche iodée ainsi que le bois qui était resté très discret jusque là. C'est franchement très bon. Malheureusement, trop fort pour moi pour devenir un rhum du quotidien. Ca reste une vraie belle découverte.
