Sherry-heavy young Hampden funk

Oh man ich bin es echt langsam leid, solche sherry finish Sachen zu probieren. O.k. er ist nicht ganz so schlecht, wie der andere, der mehr als schrecklich war. O.k. den kann man trinken, aber nicht mein Ding.
#6092 20.12.2025 Enjoying cracking open this bottle while watching Gold Rush on the telly. Nose Light wood, sulphor, fruits, faint smoke, faint rubber, light glue, sherry, faint caramel. Palate Medium intense, light wood, sherry, fruits, light sulphor, light rubber, faint salt, light orange, light herbs, faint mint. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, dry, sherry, light sulphor, faint citrus, light dried fruit. Empty glass Sour, light sulphor, light herbs, fruits. This one is very strong on the sherry notes, so if you do not like that kind og finish, then this is not for you. Needs to rest for a very long time for the sherry to settle. I nipped at the beginning and then waited 45 minutes before the second sip.
Nachdem ich gerade den Ex-Bodegas Fundador LFCH 2021 im Glas hatte ist dieser Rum schonmal bedeutend besser, da man den Hampden erkennt und der Fasseinfluss zwar deutlich, aber nicht zu dominant ist. Alkoholeinbindung passt, Sherry- und Rotweinfässer als Finish werde ich aber weiter eher meiden.
Deutlicher Sherry Einfluss, aber Hampden noch schön erkennbar. Macht Spaß!
