How does this rum taste?
The "Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica Single Cask Rum HLCF" is a distinctive cask-strength rum from the Hampden distillery, showcasing Jamaica's signature tropical fruit and funk. Distilled with care and aged for two years in molasses pot still, this limited release is marked by its esters and sherry notes, though some find the alcohol underwhelmingly integrated. While vibrant tropical fruit and ester elements appeal to some, others note prominent solvent impressions and an overbearing alcohol presence. A notable feature is its sherry finish, appreciated by some for its added sweetness, though it can feel dominant for others. Enthusiasts of Hampden typically favor this complex and robust offering.

Finish/aging is very dominat on the nose and palate, but works better (more balanced) than the PX version.
Edit: Ja, er hat immer noch die Nase vorne im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder aus dem anderen Fass. Auch im CubaLibre macht er sich besser meiner Meinung nach. Für den Preis sind beide schon sehr gut. Dieser liegt im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder einen Hauch vorne. Hier ist eher der leichte Esterfunk im Vordergrund als der Sherry. Denoch sind beide für den Preis mehr als in Ordnung.
Zwar nicht ganz mein Geschmack, aber deutlich besser als die PX Schwesterabfüllung. Zwar immer noch (zu sehr) Sherry forward aber dafür nicht ganz so süß und stimmiger.
Einerseits gefällig, andererseits sehr dominante Einschläge vom Süsswein-Fass. Am Gaumen recht adstringierend, fruchtig, erneut dunkle, schwere Früchte, die Komplexität bleibt dafür eher überschaubar. Schöner Rum, dem aber das gewisse Etwas abgeht.
