    O M G! Very very good!

    The nose is dominated by the Hampden, I thought until I held my nose over the glass again after 10min and found the typical Long Pond umami note! A chimera this rum! on the palate the same game, in addition surprisingly sweet and surprisingly little woody for the age. The rum is already intense but not a monster but on the contrary wonderfully balanced with excellent integrated alcohol. The finish reflects the flavors well without becoming too woody.An elegant connoisseur's drop that does not reach the maximum on the intensity scale, but that is not necessary.Would I buy a bottle? No, not at this price. (Thanks to Tom for the sample!)

    Tasted in direct comparison with the Distilia Vane 1983 (RX12843). In the nose, the TasTToe is clearly fruitier and "sweeter". Here I have more the impression of a Jamaica blend in the glass to have (with the "Vane" was the "Hampden" in the nose very concise). On the palate, the flavors continue. Wow, we are absolutely back in the Champions League here as far as Jamaican rums go. Compared to the "Vane" less dry and also fruitier. The barrel influence comes out more strongly and brings a great spice to it. I would describe the TasTToe as a tad less complex, but more drinkable. Both outstanding rums with impressive key data!
