    How does this rum taste?

    Trelawny Endemic Birds (Red Billed Streamertail) OWH is a limited edition rum from Jamaica's renowned Hampden distillery, selected by Velier. Distilled from molasses in 2012 and aged for 8 years, this rum boasts an ABV of 60.4% and is recognized for its rich, tropical fruit-driven nose with notes of papaya and subtle spices. The palate offers a creamy, round, full-bodied experience with flavors of mango, banana, and toffee. The rum is appreciated for its sophisticated balance, wood notes, and absence of the typical high ester Jamaican profile, appealing strongly to aficionados seeking a refined tropical taste with a mellow finish.

    Very tasty and extremely complex. Not an estery monster, rather a Hampden on the dignified side, which has benefited greatly from its time in the barrel. A successful selection - which doesn't surprise me in the slightest when you read who was allowed to make the selection here.

    #4722 09.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few of my Endemic Birds Samples. Nose Balanced, wood, light roasted, fruity, pineapple, spice, light citrus, faint leather. Palate Balanced, light, round, wood, faint smoke, fruity, cinnamon, light vegetal, clove. Finish Medium to long, round, wood, light smoke, light berries, faint chocolate. The empty glass has a light medicinal note, apples and faint caramel.

    Very pleasant, creamy Hampden without the typical pineapple/ester notes. Mango and some papaya on the palate. Excellent OWH! Gets even better with a drop of water.

    Danke Jakob für die Spende an die Franconian Tasting Gang. Hat die Spezialisten komplett auf die Falsche Fährte geführt. Keiner konnte glauben, dass es ein Hampden OWH ist. Ich wenn ich es nicht gewusst hätte, wäre definitiv auch nicht drauf gekommen. Ein wirklich guter Rum.
