A 4 year old single cask Hampden HLCF from LMDW. The rum was allowed to breathe for half an hour. The nose is already well balanced and round, with tropical fruits, especially pineapple and some passion fruit. Also incredibly round and balanced on the palate, seems older than 4 years to me. A potpourri of tropical fruits, pineapple with candied ginger. Solvent aromas only on the fringes. The alcohol is well integrated, I'm not even tempted to play with a little water here. Metallic youth can only be guessed at. Only in the finish do you notice that it lacks a little substance due to its young age, but it doesn't disappear immediately, but rather fades out a little with pineapple and a very slight saltiness, somewhat astringent. Limited edition and young hype bottling or not, for me this is a first-class HLCF and I'm glad I was able to get a bottle for myself.
It's always nice when you get such limited bottles/samples through the RumX group members... Which unfortunately are most of the times completely bought up by the flippers… It‘s a very good, young and powerfull HLCF. The 64% are very well integrated
Guter tropisch gereifter 4 Jähriger HLCF. Sehr schöne tropische Fruchtnoten. Alkohol ist ordentlich integriert. Nur beim Abgang kann er nicht ganz mithalten. Der ist eher kurz. Dazu leichte Bitternoten. Trotzdem hat mir die Abfüllung gut gefallen.
Sanfte Nase. Nicht zu intensiv aber dennoch Ananas und Ester gut erschnüffelbar. Im Geschmack hinter dem Ester Ananas Vorhang doch auch eine filigrane süße. Der Geschmack ist viel sanfter als der Abgang es im Nachhinein auszudrücken weiß. Der Abgang ist viel härter. Wirklich bemerkenswert.
