Valinch & Mallet The Spirit of Art Jamaica Blend «Esters' Delight»

"Very solid blend. Even though I only really like Hampden. But what can you complain about 🤤 The overripeness is very well integrated in terms of taste. Top balance, great Jamaican that is dangerously drinkable."

"After 2 years in the glass still a revelation. Great craft to get a blend of this quality. Extren light and quaffable, a Jamaican for every day. Incredibly good PLV to the issue."

"For me the best of the 2008 Jamaica Blends. I still go down a point from 86 to 85. Tasted against Esters Delight II and for me the Esters Delight I is better."

"The best blend I've ever had. In Mai Tai it shows everything. Great cinema"

"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. "

"Elegant blend with a lovely nose. Nice on the palate as well: pineapple, mango, caramel, esters and a little wood."

"Tried it again today in May Tai... here he plays his strengths to the full !!! See harmonious blend ... nice and fruity with the kick of wood it needs! Top !!!"

"Funky ester blend, very nice with lots of tropical fruits such as pineapple, mango and banana. Tart notes are not neglected here either, with leather, tobacco and caramel. The ginger that comes through here is also exciting."

"Very pleasant blend. I particularly like the nose, balanced tropical fruit blend. However, I could imagine that the individual ingredients could taste a little better separately on the palate."

"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."

"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."

"Superbe 🤩 C’est funky, gourmand, pleins d’esters et d’arômes 😍 Quel bonheur des blends comme ça 🤩😍🤩"

"Great blend! Hampden stands out. I would also guess Long Pond."

"One of the best Jamaican blends I've ever tasted..."
