How does this rum taste?
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.

Le HLCF à un nez, bien évidemment, également, sur les fruits tropicaux bien mûrs. On retrouve de la fraîcheur mentholée et des notes de boîte à confiserie. Le nez est très attirant. En bouche, le côté funky s’efface assez vite pour laisser la place aux fruits exotiques bien mûrs. 20 ans de vieillissement lui ont conféré une rondeur agréable. C’est sacrément bien intégré et gourmands ! La finale est belle mais pas suffisamment longue sur le sucre brun et la pistache. J’adore ce Jamaïcain tout en contrôle. Les années de vieillissement lui ont fait du bien.
Typische Hampden Noten von jungen Holz, etwas Ester, vergorenen Früchten und Mango kommen einem entgegen. Geschmacklich eher von der leichten Sorte. Brauner Zucker, der typische Fruchtkorb, viel Banane und Brauner Zucker. Solider kontinentaler Hampden.
Préférence pour ce HLCF vs <>H, les années lui donnent plus de souplesse. Le nez est excellent et envoûtant, belle sensation en bouche, sur le sucre brun et les fruits, le finish est cependant trop court comme pour le <>H.
A nose on very ripe fruits and esters (for a change!). The originality comes from the menthol and the plum that I had never met at Hampden. The mouth is on tropical fruits and vanilla. It is oily and caramelized. This mouthfeel is sweet and greedy. The finish is rather short on tropical fruits and butterscotch. A good rum. The alcohol is not very well integrated in the nose. It is very greedy. The best of the trilogy for my taste.
