How does this rum taste?
Offbeat, lighter Hampden experiment

Beginners, anyone expecting classic intense Hampden funk and sweetness, or drinkers sensitive to bitterness and light fermented/off-note aromas.

Tasted together with the Franconian Tasting Gang. Unfortunately once again one of the poorer bottlings from The Whisky Jury. Nothing that leaves a lasting impression. It's okay as a mixer, but not really a top candidate either.
Amazingly bad Hampden. Bitter with off-notes.
Didn't convince me.
Franconian Tasting Gang - 23.11.2024: The evening was a bit advanced, so no proper tasting note created. However, I was very glad that I held back on the bottle. The profile didn't appeal to me at all. There was also a subliminal note of vomit on the nose. But perhaps I should give the rum another chance at a better time.
