Palate Naturally sweet, light wood, roasted, fruity, citrus, medium dry, polish. Finish Long, naturally sweet, wood, dried fruit.

Tag 10 RumX Kalender Der Rum war von der ersten Nase fast wie ein 2009er New Yarmouth. Vom Geschmack hätte ich ihn eher als DOK eingeschätz. Schönes Teil, was wieder mal ausgesucht wurde. Hätte ich so nie probiert.

RumX Kalender 23 Tag 10 Intensive gegrillte Ananas, reichlich Ester. Macht richtig Spaß
Review by Lot-NAS
Calendar #10 / blind Jede Menge Ester in der Nase, Lösungsmittel, dazu Banane und Bananenschale und tropischer Obstsalat, Apfel und eine leichte Essignote. Nach einige Zeit kommt noch etwas Malziges dazu. Oha, der hat ordentlich Power, 70% sind das bestimmt. Gleichzeitig aber sehr süß. Ester zuerst, dann überreife Mango, Marzipan, Vanille und etwas Holz. Minze und Zimt runden die Geschmacksexplosion gut ab. Im Abgang dann auch überraschend süß, lang und warm, Vanille, Lösungsmittel und Ester am Ende. Eine leichte Teernote ist irgendwie auch da. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich würde auf einen jungen Hampden DOK tippen, könnte aber auch eine Stufe drunter sein, mit irgendeinem ungewöhnlichen Fass.

RumX Advent calendar 10.12.23: It's off to Jamaica. I would actually guess a New Yarmouth right away, vintage 2009. All the notes are there (fruit, esters, cookie dough), mouthfeel and intensity also seem to fit. The vintage is of uniformly high quality, so it's not easy to identify a specific bottling. I'm going to guess RX13284 anyway. Let's see...
Review by Adrian Wahl
Very exciting 2001 HD <>H. At the beginning I really had a bit of smoke in the nose. Too bad that he has been tested so little so far. Now off into the May Tai with the thing 🇯🇲
Review by DomM
Nose adds banana and faint spicey notes like pepper and pimento. Least rotten notes tending (comparable) more to fresh fruits in my mind. Very intensive on the palate with nice (fresh) fruit notes and some marzipan. So far I liked all out of the 2001 <>H batch. Looking at a close field: KD > TB > RC-M > RC
Review by Rare Akuma
#24DaysOfRum2023 - Day 10 On the nose very lively and zingy flanked by copious amounts of phenol. Opens classically fruity with lemon juice, unripe pineapple and plantains counterbalanced with lighter marzipan and barrel notes. Then the complexity ramps up with exotic spices and hot glue gun, before dissipating into a phenol-driven profile of campfire smoke, cigar ash and chamomile tea. A well-balanced palate opens sweet with yellow banana, berrymix and molasses. Then lightly complex with esters, allspice and green tea before crème fraîche and popped corn mellows it out. Lemony on the backdraft. Beautiful medium long finish with a plethora of discoverable notes equally well-balanced as the palate. Very complex, yet very accessible for what is considered high ester.
Review by Michal S
A very good Hampden with a classic flavour profile - tropical fruits, esters, a little solvent and young wood. A nice drink.
Review by mto75
schöner 2001er JMH / <>H. An der Nase allerlei vergorene Früchte 🤩(Ananas, Papaya), Vanille, nicht zu wild bei den Estern. Am Gaumen sehr würzig, kandierte Früchte, leicht pfeffrig, Piment.
Review by Mentalo
Ein weiterer 2001er Hampden. Die Ester-und Holznoten etwas weniger ausgeprägt als bei anderen Abfüllungen des Jahrgangs. Marzipan, Mango, Ananas. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Gibt imo bessere Abfüllungen, aber mit 2001er macht man generell nix falsch,
Review by Vincent D
Voilà ce qu'on appelle un nez funky ! Esters à gogo, fruits très mûrs, ananas, solvants. En bouche, c'est intense. Les fruits sont complétés par le piquant vif du piment. C'est sec, fort, acidulé. Franchement cool.
Review by Righrum
RumX advent calendar - day 10 A nice rum from Hampden with continental ageing, with all the traits I expect from this kind of rum. Despite relatively high esters count, that you feel in the nose, it is pretty approachable when drinking
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
RX calendar day 10 Intense in the ester department, alcohol is well integrated even though it doesn't feel so mature as the age statement.
Review by Thunderbird
An intense nose with typical Jamaica funk! On the palate, the rum still seems quite fresh! The alcohol is still clearly noticeable
