    How does this rum taste?

    • Bold ester and fruit notes
    • Limited edition exclusivity
    • Complex, intense flavor profile

    The Trilogy Caksus <>H Rum, distilled in 2011 at Jamaica's Hampden distillery and bottled by Samaroli, is a high-ester masterpiece. With an impressive 62% ABV, this limited release of only 247 bottles displays intense esters, tropical fruit, and a bold, funky profile that repeatedly captivates enthusiasts. Users appreciate its vibrant nose, dominated by ester and pineapple notes, although some find the alcohol integration requires moderation. Predominantly fruity and funky, it offers complex layers of banana, spice, and pastry. While its robust character attracts praise, it occasionally likened to solvent and nail polish aromas, showing slight imbalance but still providing a remarkable tasting experience that improves with time.

    "Jour 20 du calendrier Samples de Luxe. Regoûté un an et demi après. Whaou ! Le nez explose avec du citron vert, des fruits tropicaux, un peu de vernis et de la colle. Ouch ! La bouche est alcoolique, mais aussitôt les saveurs la tapissent. Colle blanche, raisins au rhum, citron vert encore, vanille et bois. La finale est longue, un peu trop sur la colle pour être parfaite. Les fruits reprennent leurs droits dans le verre vide avec de la compote aux pommes aux épices et à la vanille. Un rhum excellent, puissance et équilibre. Dommage pour sa finale qui lui fait perdre des points."

    "Full on the face Hampden but very balanced from pineapple and anise and black cumin. Also some grilled peach and cookie crumbs. Awesome!"

    "A rather rough, disparate Hampden. Yet the nose is generous and savory, at once very fruity (banana, pineapple, lime), very phenolic (esters, varnish, solvents, glue) and also pastry-like (butter), with a hint of freshness. Spices, leather and the light influence of the barrel complete the profile. The palate is lively. The alcohol makes itself felt, accompanied by exotic fruits and citrus fruits (lime, grapefruit) which reinforce the feeling of power. Spices and wood tannins are not to be outdone, either, and follow on from the fruit, followed more distantly by pastry notes, leather and olive. A profile with strong sensations, perhaps a little too unbalanced compared to other extreme profiles, which are more controlled. The finish is long, sticking to the teeth with notes of tropical fruit, leather, spices, pastry, phenolic and medicinal notes. There's funk, heaviness and astringency at every turn. However, it's the absolutely unexpected touch of plum and fruit alcohol that stands out. A bestial Hampden profile that needs time to air out and express itself without risking alcoholic discharge."
