A great rum especially considering the price tag. Fruity from nose to finish and warm/spicy on the palate. A very unique finish and a must try if you like funky rums.
Unfortunately, I can't quite go along with the top ratings. The nose I find despite an hour of breathing somewhat flat. The high ABV does him but good and in the mouth already ne real grenade. Thank you for the sample 🙏🏼
It's very good but it's not as good as the Hampden 90-92-93. The mouth is better than the nose. The finish is not very long despite a rather strong rum.
Krasser Stoff. Heftiges ABV allerdings Top eingebunden. Nase sehr viel süße Frucht ,Ester leichte Fassnoten . Am Gaumen zuerst Zitrusfrüchte und Mundraumfüllend ... dann kommt der Alkohol und brennt sich etwas in den Vordergrund... paar Sekunden aushalten und schon öffnet sich der volle Frucht Korb ... Im Abgang kommen ein paar Bittetnoten zutage. Toller Tropfen. Heute im Direkt Vergleich mit Beast 2
