    How does this rum taste?

    The Berry’s Own Selection Finest Jamaican Rum C<>H, crafted at Hampden Distillery and independently bottled by Berry Bros & Rudd, is a 17-year-aged rum distilled in 1990. With a 46% ABV, it is celebrated for its complex nose of esters and tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. The palate is noted for its ester, fruity, and citrusy qualities, with hints of wood and light medicinal notes. While praised for its balanced integration of flavors, some users found it too diluted, leaving a more restrained taste profile compared to other high-ester Jamaican rums. Overall, it offers a unique tasting journey, particularly admired by enthusiasts of older, high-ester rums.

    Nachverkostung RumX Adventskalender, nummer 15 So macht Nachverkosten Spaß. Sehr lecker. Habe am 15 Dezember auch mal dran gerochen fand aber abends leider keine Zeit mit zu raten. Lag eigentlich meistens falsch, aber da habe ich auch auf einem alten kontinentalen C<>H getippt. Normalerweise bin ich bei dem Profil immer der Banause und ziehe tropisch vor. Das hier ist aber lecker. Intensiv, weich, ausgewogen, aromatisch … trotz des niederen ABV. Eins der Highlights bis jetzt.

    05.03.2016 Finally back in Kolding again after some years at Messe C in Fredericia. Much easier to get home when it's within walking distance. Had my good friend from Singapore visit for a month and that ended up in a lot of tasting 😊 This was a bottle i brought and it ended up empty before the day was over. Notes. Nose: overripe fruits, banana, light wood, ester, glue. Palate: balanced, fresh, intense, citrus, banana, caramel, light medicinal, light roasted wood. Finish: lightly dry, wood, light smoke, ester, fruits.

    RX Kalender 24: an der Nase gefällt mir der BBR ziemlich gut, vergorene Früchte, Creme, medizinisch. Am Gaumen fält er aber etwas ab, Säure und wässrige Anklänge zugleich. Bei den 1990er HDs liegt die Messlatte schon sehr hoch. Der BBR ist gut, aber auf den Thron reicht es definitiv nicht.

    Nase: leicht und intensiv zugleich! Könnte New Yarmouth sein: viel Frucht und Ester aber irgendwie leicht / dünn. Gaumen: Gemüse! Was ist das denn, neben den Estern und Fruchnoten kommt etwas leicht dreckiges dazu, grüne Oliven, Salzlake Trockenheit. Nachklang: intensiver, trocken, grüne Oliven. Ich tippe auf Hampden oder einen Blend mit
