Intense high-ester rum with pineapple and tropical fruit on the nose. Complemented by a fine marzipan note on the palate. Typically strong Hampden, convincing even when young. The finish is quite short and not as intense.Read more

Intense high-ester rum with pineapple and tropical fruit on the nose. Complemented by a fine marzipan note on the palate. Typically strong Hampden, convincing even when young. The finish is quite short and not as intense.
Auto-translatedA real high ester taste bomb! In the nose, the typical markers with additional citrus fruits that provide a certain freshness. Also very light roasted and cinnamon aromas. Very spicy and slightly salty on the palate. The sweetness is so intense that it is slightly reminiscent of syrup. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. This rum is great fun!
Auto-translatedOh yes, it's really fun. The HGML profile is also very young, but it's still fun because it has those rough edges. I think it's even better than the WLP release
Auto-translated#5844 11.10.2025 Visiting the Whisky Live Hamburg 2025 event. It was the first of its kind and went off pretty well. They still have to learn a lot about running an event like this. People were allowed to bring backpacks and even cabin bags to the event and that is a problem in my mind. This is a great HGML in my mind, so good so that I bought two bottles of it. Intense and fruity with very good ABV and wood integration in the fruity ester profile.
