#4860 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruity, light chocolate, light herbal, light citrus, light nutts, light roasted wood. Palate Warm, medium intense, fresh, fruits, light citrus, faint floral, light nutts, faint chocolate, light herbal, cinnamon. Finish Long and warm, fruits, light wood, dried fruit, light chocolate, faint mint, faint citrus. This is a nice rum and I need to retaste it because I think it needs to rest longer than I could at the event.
Oweia, what kind of bottling is this? I had two HLCFs from Hampden from 2010 in my glass before, but it can't have been because of them that this one goes down like this. It had something really angular in the nose and mouth, which goes far beyond the musty overtones. I'll give it another chance soon, but right now it's not working at all.
A very good rum, but overall the sherry influence is very clear. On the other hand, I find it well integrated. However, I find the Pagos better in comparison.
Here we have another Hampden with a sherry finish. They seem to be coming onto the market more and more since 2024. Some of them have a very strong influence. In this case, an absolutely extreme one! You can only taste Hampden a little in the start and finish in the form of notes of glue and esters. The rum is very sweet with a musty sour cherry note. Quite delicious, but so barrel-laden and sweet that I find it very difficult to rate it. Depending on my mood on the day, my rating will probably always fluctuate around +-5 points.
