instant and unmistakable aroma of unripe and then rotting bananas says that this is a jamican rum through and through. and then you know full well that there is probaby only one distillery that could produce this and that is the pots at hampden. longpond may have the column stills to give your rum a certain lightness but the dunder and the depths mean that it has to hampden. it's almost sickly in it's approach, it's like a rum on steroids. too beefy too concentrated. it's a classic example where it's not about the abv strenght but about the esters. about the long fermentation that;s built in the the flavours. about the pot still that makes it oh-so heavy. like the jap doom rockers. sustined deep distort chord
there;s the sweetness and the pungency
it's been described as camabert which in the scheme ofd things isn't that really far off the mark
its a lot-it of loathe it rum (although I'm personally not convinced that the second categoryt exists for this rum) - ok it's full bodied and if you hate strong flavours then this is not for you. but it's esters mean that it can pretty much resist anything flavour wise - bbq smoke and chilli yeah this rum will beat it down and then give it a warm hug before seeing it on it's way. It smells amazing but it smacks you around the mouth quite considerably. That's the beauty.
it's always going to come over the top, this one. the alchol is pretty on top too. but no matter what you've eaten or what you've drank this is going to wade through your palate. now i
thick treacle, and huge custard.
it's
