    A rum tasted at Whisky Live Paris in 2025. A nose of controlled esters, glue and wood varnish. Overripe fruit, supporting wood and a fullness that can only be achieved with long years of maturation in a tropical climate. The palate is lively, full-bodied with overripe tropical fruit, esters and old varnished wood. Vanilla sweetness too. The finish is rather long, with more pronounced wood. A surprising release, the overall design is reminiscent of Hampden's rather mainstream series for a rum to which age lends surprising depth.

    #5814 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is a pretty well balanced rum with lots of natural sweetness. Fruity with nice spices andlight glue notes, marzipan and chocolate.

    Whisky Live Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm the score and notes. Wrong degustation order unfortunately, drinking after 2021 C<>H disrupted the palate. The nose is amazing, spices and especially pimento, banana and ananas are all over there. The mouth is consistente but yet a bit thin for diluiton (maybe due to the previous tasting) Price is crazy by the way.

    Un très grand rhum, alliant complexité, équilibre, gourmandise et longueur.
