    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich ester profile
    • Balanced tropical fruit notes
    • Well-integrated alcohol

    The Sta(r)um (RossovermiglioArte) <>H is a distinguished rum from the Hampden distillery in Jamaica, independently bottled by Valinch & Mallet. Distilled in 2014 using molasses and a pot still, it offers a rich ester profile, showcasing tropical fruit notes, including pineapple and banana. Users praise its balance between fruitiness and the lighter touch of wood, enhanced by its cask strength of 54.8% ABV. Although it embodies the characteristic Jamaican funk, some find it smoother and milder than its peers, making it a versatile choice. Limited to just 111 bottles, it remains a sought-after selection for those appreciating well-integrated esters, fruity undertones, and mild wood presence.

    "Edit: nochmal als Mixer probiert. Mehr als zufrieden damit. Nochmal ein bisschen nach oben korrigiert Um es kurz mit den Worten meiner Söhne zu beschreiben, riecht nach Sommerurlaub, Apfel, Banane und Apfel. Mehr als riechen durften die aber nicht. Für mich ein sehr ausgewogener und ausbalancierter Rum. Wobei mir für das Mark ein wenig der Funk im Mund fehlt leider, was ihn eine bessere Bewertung leider verwährt. Aber alles in allem scheint der 2014er Jahrgang ein sehr gutes Jahr zu sein."

    "#4726 18.05.2024 Sitting at home enjoying a few samples. Nose Fresh, light wood, fruity, ester, balanced, pineapple, overripe. Palate Round, balanced, ester, fruity, light roasted wood, banana, overripe, spice, faint floral. Finish Medium long, light wood, ester, round, light vegetal, dried fruit, light citrus. The empty glass has light herbs and some chocolate. This is a very well rounded and mild <> H in my mind and it could easily be an every day rum actually 😊"

    "Dieser Valinch & Mallet ist dem Morisco ziemlich ähnlich. Die Unterschiede sind marginal. Auch hier ist der Alkohol gut eingebunden, er könnte fast als Sipper durchgehen. Im Abgang ist die Bitternote noch etwas ausgeprägter ggü. dem Morisco"

    "Nase ist super! Am Gaumen kommen zuerst die typischen fruchtigen Ester, aber dann ist er mir im Abgang doch etwas zu bitter."
