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 😍
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.
Für mich das Highlight eines tollen Hampden Abend bei Leo. Einen Mehr als Hundert Jahre Alten Rum ins Glas zu bekommen ist schon speziell. Wahnsinnig komplex und ausgewogen. So einen Rum zu finden, der wohl perfekt gelagert wurde ist wohl so ein"once in a Lifetime" Erlebnis. Könnte sich tatsächlich um einen Hampden handeln.
