Wild young HGML fruit bomb

8,8:On the nose, esters on steroids is the first impression we get, some nail polish with overripe, fermented tropical fruits like pineapple, passion fruit, banana, mango, then roasted wood notes as marzipan, pastry, honey. On aeration, a molasses is felt, spicy wood, vanilla, cream toffee, citrus and red fruits, well fermented with cream toffee and dried in the end.Complex, very enticing, aromatic. 9:On the palate, the attack is sweet with esters on steroids, very fruity, with overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, passion fruit, banana, mango and delicious roasted wood with cream toffee, honey, vanilla, pastry. After resting, fermented red fruits arise, we might think of tasting a prunes marmelade a bit later, molasses is vegetal, earthy, the wood smoky, spicy with allspice, at last a lime is present. Delicious and balanced.Alcohol is integrated very good. 8,7:The finish is long, a bit dry, very fruity with marmelade like notes, estery, with floral and vegetal molasses, smoky and woody with crispy bread note..
Next up was a Hampden. Again really delicious. I love Hampden. Very fruity on the nose and in the taste...tropical fruits such as mango and pineapple come to the fore. I highly recommend this rum.
Auto-translatedSehr guter Rum mit sehr fruchtiger Nase. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr fruchtig, zusätzlich trocken, leicht salzig. Sehr guter junger Hampden, die typische trockene/leicht salzige Note am Gaumen stört mich hier irgendwie. Im Nachklang kommt nochmal sehr viel fruchtiger Süße, was mir sehr gefällt!
Ein junger HGML und er weiß zu gefallen. Die Nase überzeugt mit einer schönen Fülle an esterreichen tropischen Fruchtaromen von Ananas und Passionsfrucht. Etwas Marzipan gesellt sich dazu. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich cremig mit starkem Marzipaneinschlag bevor wieder Ester und Frucht in den Vordergrund treten, gefolgt von leichter Würze und frischem Holz. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und beißt zu keiner Zeit. Selbst größere Schlücke lässt er zu. Der Abgang ist mittellang mit nachlassender Frucht und etwas dominanterem Holz und Gewürz. Eine sehr gute Abfüllung
