How does this rum taste?
Most love the elegant high-ester nose, ripe pineapple and easy drinkability; critics find it too thin and short. Consensus: a very good, refined but diluted 1990 Hampden C<>H.
If you enjoy Hampden fruit and esters but find many bottlings too wild or hot, this works as a softer, well-aged C<>H that keeps the character while dialing back the punch.
Ester hunters wanting max intensity, long finishes or cask-strength Hampden power; anyone who dislikes high-ester, gluey, tropical Jamaican profiles.

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
