Nach 2 Jahren im Glas immer noch eine Offenbarung. Tolles Handwerk einen Blend von dieser Qualität hinzubekommen. Extren leicht und süffig, ein Jamaikaner für jeden Tag. Unfassbar gutes PLV zur Ausgabe.

Sehr solider Blend. Auch wenn bei mir eigentlich nur Hampden ankommt. Aber was will man da meckern 🤤

This is a wonderful very funky rum living up to the ester delight. Very fruity and soft nose with ester, varnish and a touch of mint. The palate is even better. Fruity with leather, caramel and tobacco. Oily on the tongue giving it a long wonderfully balanced finish.

Ester's delight. Il porte bien son nom. On sent les esters oui mais tout en finesse. C'est d'une belle élégance, ce qui n'est pas facile à trouver dans ces types de rhums.

Sehr angenehmer Blend. Nase gefällt mir besonders gut, ausgewogene tropische Früchtemischung. Allerdings könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass die einzelnen Bestandteile separat am Gaumen einen Tick besser schmecken könnten.

new Yarmouth und Hampden an der Nase mit keksteig und dunklen schokobrownies im Kombination mit etwas olive, Minze und tropischen Früchten mit kandiertem Ingwer. Geschmacklich etwas Holziger und trockener als erwartet aber dennoch sehr harmonisch und rund. dunkler Kakao & Mokka... Banane, Papaya, bittere Grapefruit Marmelade und Zitronenabrieb abgerundet von gerösteten Nüssen, Marzipan und viel Holz und abschließend wieder die Note von rohem keksteig und gebackenen Bananen mit Honig die ich so liebe. sehr schöner blend!❤️

The nose is complex and greedy. Very sweet, dried, overripe fruits are leading the pack (pineapple, mango, banana). A lot of esters, some wood, vanilla and milk chocolate. It's frankly nice and the Hampden touch is predominant. In the mouth, there is some pep but the alcohol is perfectly integrated. It's quite greedy with apples and bananas shaping the profile. Then also a little vanilla and pineapple here and there. It's both complex and very palatable, making it easy to sip on the couch. The finish is nice and tasty.

Toller Blend! Hampden sticht hervor. Außerdem würde ich auf Long Pond tippen.

Hmm also der Geruch ich schon fast zu dezent für meinen Geschmack, wird dann aber durch einen sehr schönen runden Geschmack nach fruchtugen Estern abgelöst. Ich glaube mehr braucht man garnicht zu sagen. Ist unkompliziert, aber auf eine positive Art.
