"Calendrier de l’Avent Rum Friendly Club, jour 6. Un nez d’esters, de fruits tropicaux (ananas) et de fruits jaunes. Des esters et du bois maîtrisés, un léger vernis, un côté fermenté et une large variété de fruits complexifient ce beau nez de type jamaïcain. Une première bouche vive avec fruits, esters et alcool mais tout s’équilibre ensuite avec un bois de cèdre soutenu qui se prolonge longtemps en finale. Un côté pâtissier très agréable. Tout à la fin les fruits restent encore plus longtemps. Un beau rhum incroyablement complexe pour don âge."
"Standard Hampden. Mature, round, balanced."
"Still quite young and wild. But the sherry cask adds a nice twist."
"RumX-Adventskalender 18.12.2023 Blind tasting: Hmm, when I opened the sample I first thought of Guadeloupe because of the sweetness. But then on the palate the esters came through quite clearly, although not bitingly. So I would guess a low ester Hampden. All right, now it was an HLCF. Does that still count as a low ester? 😉"
