Review by Johannes
A blend of a Hampden, a younger Long Pond and a foreground apricot note. It goes most in the direction of a Low Ester Marks like HLCF Hampden 1992, but is not quite typical for it. I don't know such an apricot note from any other Hampden. In any case, an exciting and in my eyes fantastic rum!
Review by Thunderbird
Blindverkostun: A very pleasant Sipper from Jamaica, with varied flavors, but very difficult to assign a particular distillery!Nice fruity, a perceptible wood impact, light funk and subtle ester!Successful bottlingToday tasted for the 2nd time, the first impression has been confirmed! On the palate I now taste a little more wood out...possibly Hampden HLCF or Clarendon!
Review by Tschusikowsky
In the nose much Hampden us very appealing. Wonderful fragrance. In the mouth rather on the milder side. Good Jamaican. All the elements are very well connected. The finish is also surprisingly long . Flavorful and very well balanced. Very good rum.
Review by Frank
A fine droplet... Nose: beautifully complex Jamaican with a medium ester content. Cocoa powder and toffee are present first, followed by a fine sweetness of passion fruit and muted papaya. I also detect a slight smoky note of tobacco. Then again a tart sweetness of maple syrup and some wood. Very pleasant. Palate: you can't feel the 50.1% at all. It almost seems a little thin. Only the esters are very light. Some tangerine and clearly candied orange peel. The sweetness reminds me of burnt sugar dissolved in water. A little green at the back with lovage. Pleasant and round, it requires a finer tongue to reveal its depths. Worth a second sip.
Review by Stylo
Last sample of the E(a)ster calendar! Well balanced Jamaican rum, very fruity on the nose, with a touch of spices. My first experience with this bottler, and it is good enough to let me crave for more :)
Review by mto75
ich bin hier bei einem mid-range Ester (LROK, HLCF) HD der vielleicht einer zu starken Oxidation ausgesetzt war. Zitrusfrüchte-Marker sind vorhanden. Dazu kommt Vanille, Joghurt, Pflaume und etwas das in Richtung Rhabarber geht. Der Gaumen ist rund, gar nicht so holzig für die 25 Jahre im Fass. Der Abgang ist leider etwas kurz. Insgesamt aber ein ausgesprochen leckerer Sipper!
Review by Jakob
Round profile, tropical and citrus fruits, subtle wood and spice notes, nice fruit sweetness. The reduced strength makes the whole thing pleasant to drink, I like it. Not for those moments when you're looking for extremes, but by no means uninteresting. A successful release.
Review by Mike H.
The nose is lovely, exactly what I like to get from some Jamaican rums: Ester, tropical fruit and a touch of overripe fruit. In the mouth the rum falls a bit short as none of the aromas really stands out and is a little flat. I would have given a few more points if the aromas stood out a little more. Thank you for the sample Eugen.

Blindverkostung, #Easterweeks Tag 12: Tipp: Jamaica. Hat etwas von Hampden, aber eher milde Ester. Sehr gefällig. Angenehme Süße.
Review by Galli33
#12 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: I think this one is from Jamaica. There’s a little bit of funk, but not Hampden like…🤔 approx 20. years of aging approx. 45% Low-Mid ester Result: This is an easy sipper. A mixture of various fruits (citrus, mandarin, orange, sour cherry) combined with some esters and a very well integrated barrel. The alcohol is integrated very well, seems diluted (in mouth), isn‘t it? 🤔 The finish is medium long and very delicious. All in all a lovely rum
Review by tojo
Beautiful nose with fruits such as cherry, grape and mirabelle plum. Palate with spices, vanilla, a pleasant sweetness and a subtle wood/barrel note. Extremely mild on the palate. A class rum.
Review by Holle525
Vom Geruch würde ich sagen, dass es sich hier um einen Hampden handelt aber auch nicht ganz typisch. Es fehlt die durchdringende Banane und Zitrusfrucht. Im Geschmack setzt sich das Geruchsempfinden noch deutlicher fort. Ein total untypischer Hampden. Es fehlt der Punch, den man bei einem Hampden erwartet. Auch im Abgang finden wir keinen dominierenden Hampden. Dennoch ein guter Tropfen, den ich empfehlen würde.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Von Gesamteindruck würde auch ich hier auf Hampden schließen, allerdings doch auch sehr ungewöhnlich. Die Hampden-Aromatik ist da, auch ganz eindeutig, aber versteckt sich vor allem am Gaumen erstmal, bevor sie plötzlich und erwartet doch den ganzen Raum einnimmt. Vor allem eindeutig die leicht saure Trockenheit, die sich nach dem Schlucken einstellt und bei anderen Hampden stundenlang bestehen bleibt. Ansonsten vor allem spannende Nase, irgendwas fehlt mir im Geschmack. Vielleicht etwas zu dünn für das Alter? Trotzdem tolle Abfüllung, vor allem mit der Hintergrundgeschichte!

Ich tippe auf 96er Long Pond.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Bissel schwach auf der Brust. Klare Nuancen der Destillerien sind in meinen Augen kaum vorhanden. Danke für das Sample Artur
