How does this rum taste?
Rum Artesanal Trelawny Double Cask is a unique blend from Jamaica's Hampden and Long Pond distilleries, bottled by Heinz Eggert GmbH. Distilled in 2000 from molasses using pot stills, it aged 19-21 years, developing complex aromas of ester, pineapple, and banana, balanced by vanilla. Its 51.9% ABV offers a warm, roasted palate with prominent banana and ester notes, displaying a harmonious interplay between both distilleries. Users appreciate its fruity profile and quality-to-price ratio, despite some noting a perceived lack of body in the palate. Limited to 225 bottles, it's a collector's choice for rum enthusiasts seeking Jamaican authenticity.

This is a rum that I think people will agree to disagree about. None the less a pretty good one in my mind. The nose is nicely fruity with vanilla and esters, in the back i find some polish. The palate is true to the nose with fruits and esters. The palate is warm and dry but still well balanced. The finish is long and lightly dry with papaya and roasted barrel.
Short prefazit: Very pleasant.Quickly you realize what you're dealing with here. Compared to other Hampden, because this part is clearly the more dominant in the nose, it is neither too soft-purged nor too crass or too exhausting. It is very fruity, with banana and melon very dominant here. But very intense vanilla aromas also dominate the nose, which is a very pleasant interplay. In the mouth it lacks a bit of power and he seems a bit thinAll in all, however, ne very tasty and successful thing, especially if you have the then EK in mind
Great Quality/Price ratio. If the Long Pond involved here was like the Plantation 2000 MBK 51,6% then i understand the need to blend it as the bitterness of the wood can be a bit annoying but the fruitiness is just incredible.
A blend of Hampden and Long Pond. On the nose, the Hampden component clearly prevails. The palate is a different story, with the Long Pond surprisingly gaining the upper hand. The alcohol is very well integrated. Pleasant, slightly oily mouthfeel. The issue price is of course a dream from today's perspective.
