„Tip: please give the rum at least an hour to acclimatize and show its full potential.on the nose an absolute explosion, I think I've never smelled something more intense🤣 passion fruit, mint, freshly cut grass, granny smith apples, vanilla marshmallows, a good load of ester and funk.... fantastic!in the taste it then completely slays you here caution is called for... if you go for it but another explosion of passion fruit, molasses, grass and nutmeg and green pepper. super exciting!🔥🇯🇲🔥🇯🇲🔥 certainly makes a gigantic daiquiri that catapults you to the moon!☢️🚀🇯🇲By the way, this is probably one of the best daiquiris you can make!🤤😜 incredibly complex and delicious!“

„RumX-Adventskalender, 7.12., blind. Erster Eindruck: ganz klar Hampden und ganz klar hoher Ester- und Alkoholgehalt, locker um 70%. Bei den Weißen gibt’s nicht so viel. Also ein C<>H oder sogar ein DOK? Passt 🤗 Nase: Ester und nochmal Ester. Feiner Klebstoff mit viel Lösungsmittel. Deutlich vinegar, Fruchtessig. Frische Fruchtigkeit in Richtung Mandarine/Zitrone und feine, süß-saure Ananas. Dazu noch Mandel-Noten und ein Hauch vergorene Erdbeere. Gaumen: alkoholische Wärme und eine cremige Textur. Sprechen für hohen ABV. Wieder Ester pur! U Anfang adstringent und leicht bitter, dann kommt die Süße Richtung Marzipan und Ananas. Im Abgang bleibt die feine Bitternote, die Ananas und ganz hinten etwas vergorene Erdbeere. Hatte bisher noch keinen weißen DOK. Pur hart, zum mixen top.“

„In der Nase die volle Ladung Ester und Frucht!!! Am Gaumen dann eine leicht Holz und bittere Würznote… der Alkohol ist trotz offensichtlich hoher ABV relativ gut eingebunden… der Abgang ist angenehm und so mittellang… lecker“

„That's a bruiser, that takes no prisoners. Had this in a blind tasting and first thought of a Clairin, but in the end it was very different. Cannot imagine to drink a bottle of it pure, but it is very interesting nonetheless, should go very well in Cocktails. I already added a good amount of water to temper the alcohol burn (worked slightly and brought some fruitier and sweeter notes), and I assume it could take even more water.“

„Crystal clear.. the ring on the surface seems really thick!! Nose: oh boy..just opening it, you get TONS of funky note, overripe bananas, jackfruit, along with a grassy note to it..then acetone and glue..God it smell sooooo good! There is also sweeter note in the background, almost like chocolate..interesting! Mouth: yeah, definitely esters, lots of fruits (same as the nose, maybe a touch of pineapple), although not particularly “fatty”.. very astringent and warm, but still sweeter that the typical Jamaican ester bombs! I still sense that chocolate note, that mellows the acetone and glue. Nice“

„Das 7. RX-Adventssample ist ein ordentlicher High-Ester Kracher. Vergorene Früchte und Lösungsmittel im Vordergrund. Daneben auch etwas Holz und florale Noten. Knapp 70 ABV sind sehr gut eingebunden.“

„RumX-Adventskalender, 7.12., blind. Schon beim Einschecken kein Zweifel, hier fliest Hampden ins Glas. Das Profil schreit auch gleich nach DOK, volle Ladung Ester, wie man es gewohnt ist. Vermutlich die am einfachsten zu erratende Abfüllung. Zu den einzelnen Aromen gibt es nicht viel zu sagen, der klassische Früchtekorb, den man bei Hampden bekommt. Jedoch in Summe etwas eindimensional, da hab ich schon bessere DOKs probiert. Insbesondere eine gewisse Lagerung, wenn auch nur kurz, tut diesem Stoff doch ganz gut und gibt ihm ein wenig Tiefe. Natürlich begeistert auch dieser hier, aufgrund seine Abnormalität. Als weißen Hampden sehe ich ihn jedoch hinter dem Rum Fire, der für mich komplexer und damit auch einfach leckerer ist, vom Preisunterschied ganz zu schweigen.“

„RumX Adventskalender 2021 Tag 7 Richtig kräftig in der Nase volle Esterkeule ... fruchtig und Funky Frisch . Richtig lecker auch am Gaumen Fruchtig wärmend füllt er den Mundraum schöne Ester DOK wie ich es liebe... Einziger Wermutstropfen... etwas bitter im Abgang. Tolle Abfüllung.“

„Tag 7 RumX Adventskalender: der erste weiße Rum. Blind: Nase: Ester-Bombe, für mich eindeutig Hampden. Der Gaumen bestätigt mich in meiner Annahme. Mindestens ein C<>H, vielleicht sogar DOK. Das erste Mal, dass ich richtig getippt habe. 😉“

„im anderen Glas den SBS DOK 2018 mit 1 Jahr Fassreife und 60%. Beim Fine Drams verhindert das hohe ABV Level zunächst, dass man die Ester-Noten ganz erfassen kann. Nach einigen Min. wird es besser, dann kommen vergorene Früchte, Lack, überreife Banane, Ananas. Die Joghurt/Vinegar-Noten fehlen jedoch. Beim SBS dagegen kommen diese schön durch, und eine deutliche Sherry-Note vom Fass. Auch am Gaumen hat der SBS deutlich mehr zu bieten. Der Fine Drams besitzt mir zu viel alkoholische Schärfe, und ist im Abgang zudem sehr trocken. Wenn HD ungelagert, dann ist der Rum Fire nur schwer zu schlagen.“

„In comparison with RX12768: strangely more “ashtray” for some reason that I don’t really associate with DOK. Alcohol more present and therefor less fresh and more bitter. Gluey ester taste explosions. Now time to use the rest of the two samples in one hell of a daiquiri 😋🍸“

„RumX Adventskalender 7.12.21 Bin hier blind bei Hampden. Esterbombe😋 tolle Nase, langer Abgang. Haben mit dem RumFire direkt verglichen, den ich gerade offen hatte. Das Teil wäre die Bombe in einem Punch. Braucht aber lange zum öffnen.“
