How does this rum taste?

The POP’ Series N°1 from Swell de Spirits offers a unique twist on the classic Hampden profile. With its fruity apple-pear notes and hints of baked goods, it presents a surprising subtlety amid the expected funk. A few drops of water release its full charm, balancing the cask strength's intensity. While some find it a tad bitter and tannic, its smoothness and depth create an enjoyable, if not entirely novel, sipping experience.
