The legs are very thin and slowly descend along the wall, this announces fire! Typical nose on the basket of tropical fruits well advanced and the glue. After aeration vanilla and caramel then chocolate come to add to the greediness, we would easily forget the 68,3°! In mouth, the attack is warm on spices (nutmeg type), the banana more than well ripe. Then come the caramel and the licorice. It also has a sour side which turns then on a very light bitterness. The finish is rather spicy and very long, it turns on a very pleasant mentholated side.maybe 4 or 5 degrees less to be perfect-> the H is the top❤️
Tasted together with Colours of Rum Jamaica 2013 RX17342 The nose is very similar and a touch fruitier. On the palate, the alcohol does not seem as well integrated as in the CoR. The two differ on the palate: While the CoR remains sweet for quite a long time before it veers towards salty and olive, the S.B.S does this more quickly and therefore seems more bitter to me. Otherwise, the two are very similar. It's really difficult to detect differences in the aftertaste of these rums! I wouldn't be able to tell them apart blindly in this respect. All in all, I like the CoR two hairs breadths better because of its more pronounced sweetness and better integrated alcohol.
Yes, the catch of the day I would say :) Nobody can be against Hampden, they're all great. As usual, a nice fruity note and you can taste the ester well, but hardly any alcohol. Delicious, more of it :)
Der macht richtig Spaß weil einfach richtig viel los ist. Viel weniger Säure als bei dem 2013er Jahrgang. Dafür mehr Würzen und Kräuter. In der Nase viel zugänglicher und keine Schärfe. Am Gaumen auch trotz hohem Alkoholgehalt angenehm und zugänglich. Gefällt mir ein Tick besser als der 2013 Jahrgang, da komplexer und runder. Top.
