     Einfach krass. Schlägt quasi alle modernen Hampdens. 100 Jahre alt, 73%, beste Nase die ich bei einem Jamaikaner je hatte. Unfassbar gute Alkohol integration.

     A very fruity nose of tropical and yellow fruits. The alcohol is terribly well integrated. On the palate, you can clearly feel the kick of the alcohol (73%!), but immediately afterwards the fruit invades the palate. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of dried fruit. Quite a big difference between the rather sweet nose and the palate, which is still very lively for its age. Perhaps due to the fact that the bottle was opened about a year ago? A historic and delicious rum, which doesn't always go together.

     Explosion of estery fruits, alcohol perfectly integrated. Wonderful in every possible way. It packed a whopping 73% but it was not noticeable. Best guess was a HV Hampden at +60% Never tasted anything like it. Probably never will again 🥲 No words, only love 😍

     WOW! Was für eine Ehre diese flüssige Legende im Glas zu haben. Vielen Dank Artur 🥰🥰🥰. Die Nase ist brutal geil und frisch für einen Rum der wahrscheinlich um die 100 Jahre alt ist. Gemessene 72,8% auch noch heute. Die Nase ist frisch und man merkt sofort, dass man auf Jamaika ist. Am ehesten kann man das Profil vielleicht entfernt mit dem eines geilen HD 1990 vergleichen. Abgang ist in der Tat etwas kurz aber ich bin komplett begeistert. 91/100
