Samaroli Hampden Trilogy Caksus HLCF 2001 20yr 55%

RX9656 Very good Pot Still Rum 250 bottles <250€
“Classic Hampden: fruity, ester-rich, smooth finish.”

The Trilogy Caksus HLCF by Samaroli is a rare Jamaican rum distilled in 2001 at Hampden using molasses and a pot still. Aged for 20 years, this 55% ABV rum is renowned for its complex aroma profile, featuring esters, overripe fruit, and mint. Users highlight a palate rich in caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit, with hints of wood and banana. Despite a somewhat short finish, the age imparts a smooth and nuanced flavor. While considered a balanced example of Hampden's offerings, it may lack the expected intensity and "funk." With only 250 bottles available, it stands as a collectible for enthusiasts searching for a refined experience.

“Jour 13 du calendrier Samples de Luxe. Regoûté un an et demi après. Un nez de Jamaïque classique, sans trop d’esters avec un côté végétal (rhubarbe, menthol) et des fruits (ananas surmûr). Les fruits attaquent en premier, puis l’alcool, un côté huileux très agréable. De beaux amers et du rôti finissent ce rhum, presque trop d’amers même. Mais la longueur est là avec un bois léger. Un nez superbe, mais la bouche et la finale sont un peu trop heurtés.”

“Very nice bitter caramel, peach and nutmeg note, as well as some mint or thyme... Very harmonious. The finish is relatively roasty but still delicious!”

“Solid continental Hampden. The big surprise moment is missing, but that should not mean that deficiencies in the flavor profile would be recorded. The rum offers what you can expect from a good Hampden of this maturity - just not much more. So the obligatory overripe tropical fruit notes (pineapple, mango, banana) meet concise, toasty wood and spicy pungency. In the background, I think I detect some fleshy notes of bacon here and there. In addition, an unobtrusive but recognizable sweetness - a passable cross-section of the Jamaica profile and a nice entry into the flavor spectrum of Hampden.”
