Hampden RA Elements Burke‘s Jamaica Rum

 Full Karacho! And at an absolutely fair price. Looking forward to the first Atomic Daiquiri with it.

 Super exciting! Beautiful high ester Jamaican! The sherry cask is very subtle. Can be drunk neat, but also excellent in a cocktail! More high ester compared to Burkes, but perhaps a little more one-dimensional.

 Insanely fair price. High ABV and full caracho Hampden. The finish does not blow me away. Thanks to Artur for the sample

 Tasted as part of the RA online tasting for the RumX lottery 06/2023. A PLV monster! Very, very fruity on the nose. The sherry influence comes into play relatively late. The icing on the cake: Smell of a fresh sea breeze. Delicious! The rum is explosive on the palate, but not at all fizzy despite being almost 70%. A nice new bottling that appeals.

 #4192 Forst off, wow, price to quality is very good and it can be enjoyed pure with joy. Fruity with esters and pretty well balanced. The sherry finish is there but more in the background and not influencing the overall profile too much. The empty glass has some dried fruit and very light grass.

 I would like to express my gratitude to Rum Artesanal for the flavor sets 🙏🏻

 A beautiful ester bomb and perfect mixer

 Edit: it was very tasty. For the price, it's a must-have for mixing. But also very drinkable on its own. Not only an ester bomb, but also an absolute price-performance hit. There's not much more to say about it!

 Dann den letzten für heute, ich liebe ihn :) Das Feuer ist gut erkennbar. Wieder lecker Ester, Klebstoff und tropische Früchte in Nase und Gaumen. Schmeckt vergoren und überreif, Lösungsmittel sind am Gaumen auch erkennbar.

 A very nice Jamaican. Beautiful notes of fruit can be recognized here. Plus, of course, the typical ester notes. A light cherry cask finish but well balanced. Certainly also ideal for cocktails.

 Full Hampden power at a great price!

 Super Mixer

 RumX Lottery June 23, RA online tasting. So this is the first of the Burke's Elements series. Water, because powerful like water, but at the same time flowing around ... or so... Nose: Ester! Banana, pineapple, vinegar and solvent. The 2 years in a 400 l sherry cask are not yet so noticeable on the nose. In my opinion, this can't have been a sweet sherry cask, or at least not a new one. On the finish, however, it becomes a little more "musty". That's the sherry influence after all. Good nose overall. 7,8 Palate: dry and astringent before the esters come through. Sweet, overripe banana with solvent. Sherry comes through here too, but only very slightly. These are the somewhat musty aromas. Some pineapple marzipan at the back. Nothing more, but that's enough. A good thing that does what it should. 7,8 A great mixer with a super PLV. I usually use RumFire for daiquiris, but I can imagine using this one for that too...

 The positive impressions at the German Rumfest are confirmed today. Great aroma and in terms of price-performance at the forefront - the cocktail world is delighted. The sherry finish is noticeably overloaded here, but not overloaded.

 Absolutely great rum for the price. Beautiful ester bomb. Certainly great for mixing. But also great neat. Alcohol very well integrated.
