    It tastes very much like the Rum Fire so I believe it’s probably the same rum in another bottle. This bottling was for the European market I’ve heard. The finish is rather long. Overall it’s funky, potent, complex and powerful without being too pungent.

    Pure unexpectedly balanced. Comes in cocktails determined very well.

    Some funk and vegetal notes on the nose. Surprisingly sweet on the palate with a fruity finish.

    Wieder ein tolles Schmankerl für die Klebstoffschnüffler unter uns. Das Hause Hampden hat hier wirklich einen weichen Rum herausgebracht, der zwar merklich die Gene der Rum Fire Familie hat, jedoch nicht mit einem 16to Meißelbagger durch die Vordertür prescht ohne überhaupt zu versuchen zu klopfen oder zu klingeln. Macht sich hervorragend in nem Blue Hawaii Mai Tai :-)
