How does this rum taste?
Kill Devil Jamaica HLCF 1998 is a distinctive rum crafted at Hampden distillery and bottled by Hunter Laing. Limited to 381 bottles, this rum is distilled from molasses using traditional pot stills and aged for 18 years. Renowned for a complex ester profile, it features aromas of banana, tropical fruits, glue, wood, and lemon. The palate delivers rich notes of pineapple, banana, and a hint of smoke with a well-balanced fruity and woody finish. While praised for its complexity and balance, some find its flavors slightly thin or lacking depth. Ideal for enthusiasts of high-ester Jamaican rums who appreciate intricate flavor journeys, this expression encapsulates the tradition and craftsmanship of Hampden.

A very nice rum with a light touch of smoke to it. Very well balanced.
Beautiful ester potpourri on the nose. Fruits like banana and pear but also clear notes of varnish and glue. Wood as well.Alcoholic attack, quickly strong wood spice and then fruit notes of pineapple and cherries. Then chocolate emerges and as time goes on it becomes bitter and salty.Then rubber, honey and burnt on the finish. Madness, this Hochesterrum is complex and undertakes piece by piece a multi-layered aromatic journey with you.
Ganz entspannter HLFC, der mit „nur“ 46 % auch nicht wässrig wirkt. Gut ausbalanciert mit schönen Früchtemix. Angenehme leichte Holznote. Runde Sache, auch wenn es ihn etwas an Tiefe und Power fehlt..
