    How does this rum taste?

    The Hampden (Alter Ego) <>H is a limited edition Jamaican rum distilled in 2014 at the Hampden distillery and bottled by Zéro Nine Spirits. Aged for 10 years and bottled at cask strength of 61.1% ABV, this rum is notable for its strong ester and tropical fruit aromas, with prominent notes of pineapple and young wood. While it showcases typical Hampden characteristics such as ripe tropical flavors and ester dominance, some users find its alcoholic presence and complexity less refined than other releases. Nonetheless, it delivers a vibrant taste experience, appreciated for its unique aromas and tropical flavor profile, though not all agree it rivals previous <>H editions.

    First impression when filling the sampel is unfortunately not so impressive. I would now put it behind the CoR, WuDram and others. But I'll taste it again when it's less hectic. It was also a little too alcoholic for me.

    Glue, nail polish remover, esters and solvents dominate the nose. In direct comparison with the WDC, it seems younger, more restless and lacks a little power on the palate. For me, not a top representative of the <>h from 2013/2014.

    Und der Dritte der heutigen 2014er <>H-Runde. In der Nase ist er etwas frecher (funkiger) als der Morisco und V&M. Das ist aber auch der gravierendste Unterschied. Am Gaumen minimal kantiger (was mir ganz gut gefällt), dafür im Abgang aber am kürzesten. Insofern gleicht er sich punktemäßig den anderen wieder an.

    Habe ganz vergessen diesen zu bewerten ist mit aufgefallen. Zwar habe ich geschafft diesen zu spliten und dem Bottlekill zuzuführen. Meines Erachtens ist er mit Abstand die schwächste Abfüllung eines <>H aus dem 2014er Jahrgang, wobei dies jammern auf hohem Niveau ist, weil wirklich schlecht ist eigentlich keiner, aber er kann denoch nicht mit den anderen mithalten. Irgendwie kann ich aber gerade kein Bild hinzufügen
