8.1/10

8,3:On the nose, bourbon notes and mild esters, some solvents are the first thing we notice, green fruits like pear, floral and grassy notes, vanilla, all balanced. On aeration, unripe banana is out, ripe pineapple, citrus, herbaceous and vegetal tones with an olive, roasted wood with pastry, nuts, spicy. 7,9:On the palate, the attack is sweet/salty, very spicy, some chilli is there, woody tones, all a bit wild, metallic patina.The balancing act are tropical fruits like banana, esters and roasted wood notes like caramel and nuts.After resting the rum, very tasty fruits are stronger with mango, green fruits and some apricots, milk chocolate. 8,2:The finish is round with dry and spicy, salty wood, roasted with crunchy bread, caramel, a bit smoky, some hay and especially apricots... Edit:5.9.25

To be honest, this rum doesn't really blow me away. I notice a certain mustiness on the nose, which I find disturbing. I find the taste relatively sharp, as the alcohol is not really well integrated. How WDC and Kirsch were able to choose this remains a mystery to me.

Oh ja das ist der altbekannte Hampden Funk, etwas stark alkoholisch grad, trotzdem guter Jamaikaner dank den wieder einmal vorhandenen tropischen Früchten Banane und Ananas, sowie natürlich Ester, aber auch etwas Vnille..
