10.02.2012 Nice little private tasting with a few friends in the back of this old bar. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, wood, light roasted, banana, light caramel, light vegetal, light ester. Palate Fresh, wood, light roasted, pineapple, caramel, faint floral, light chocolate, light ester. Finish Medium to long, wood, fruits, light caramel.
Überraschend positiv für das junge Alter. Wuchtige Fruchtaromen, etwas junges Holz, dezente Gewürze und Süsse - primär bleiben aber die eindrücklichen tropischen Früchte. Und mit Release im Jahr 2008 schon fast ein Stück Rumhistorie…
Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Von einem 2000er Hampden habe ich mir etwas mehr erwartet. Neben fruchtigen, leicht muffige Noten.
Day 1 in the Christmas calendar. Blind. Sure Jamaica. But would not have guessed Hampden, rather New Yarmouth or Long Pond! The alcohol was not that noticeable, so already well integrated. Pleasant nose, only slight ester notes. Fruity and vanilla with a distinct lovage note at the back.On the palate, the nose is confirmed. Out the back still a light but fat smokiness.Overall a good and somewhat surprising rum.
