Ich finde diesen HLCF ein wenig dünn. Ist meines Erachtens recht flüchtig. Außerdem schmecke ich eine leichte rauchige Note, was ich ein wenig störend finde. Gibt weit aus bessere Abfüllungen von diesem Mark.
A very nice rum with a light touch of smoke to it. Very well balanced.
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..
Příjemný hampden nabízející poměrně klasicky vyšší porci esterů. Ve vůni velmi ovocný kousek. Banán a ananas. Dále také odlalovač a lepidlo. V chuti z počátku ovoce, později lehce kouřové dřevo a později jnazelná sůl. Příjemné, bohužel zbytečně řídké.
