Review by Johannes
Fantastic Hampden at drinking strength!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
05.03.2016 Finally back in Kolding again after some years at Messe C in Fredericia. Much easier to get home when it's within walking distance. Had my good friend from Singapore visit for a month and that ended up in a lot of tasting 😊 Tony brought this one, a bottle birth that became very popular and almost ended its life at the event. Notes. Nose: wood, glue, intense, ester, fruity, banana. Palate: Intense, balanced, wood, ester, banana, citrus. Finish: very long, fruity, pineapple, ester, wood, light smoke, medium dry.
Review by bossi
Compared to TheRumCask 26yo, the nose of the Duncan Taylor is somewhat more restrained and not quite as deep and complex - but the emphasis here is definitely on "in comparison", otherwise the relationship and the underlying vintage are clearly recognizable. On the palate and in the finish, it is not quite as acidic and aniseed-heavy as the TRC, but a little drier. At the back, two of us tasters also had an association with roasted/caramelized almonds, which were not found in the TRC. At cask strength, this rum would probably have been on a par with the TRC, but that's all complaining on a high level. 90 points
