Delicate and at the same time unobtrusively strong. I like sweeter rums, but this one - little sweet is delicious. In comparison, Diplomatico Mantuano is bitter, and extremely bad rum for 25 EUR, and this one for 46 EUR is an extremely good rum. Unbelievable.

HSE Kilchoman finish is a special mix from two great regions, Martinique and Islay.
The rum was aged in the tropics for 6 years and then finished for 4 months in whisky barrels.
It was distilled in November 2013 and bottled in February 2020 in just 4100 bottles.
The aroma is a mix of typical cane juice and the smokiness of whisky from Islay. It’s grassy, fruity, spicy, peaty and smoky with possibility to detect licorice and raisins.
After breathing for a while it’s also becoming quite woody and nutty.
In mouth and on the palate the whisky becoming even more present. It’s very smoky and I also detect Cigar and ash besides the aromas that also comes back.
The finish is surprisingly round, smoky and ashy.
Overall a quite elegant rum that must be perfect for people loving whisky that wants to test rum.
Picture: My opened bottle and a poured glass out in the Stockholm archipelago.

Den er da okay men personligt er jeg ikke fan af "fortynder" idéen

I purchased this rum last year at the GRF (german rum festival) in Berlin for 75€. It is limited to 125 bottles at 50cl. There is a pretty similar "Flensburg 2007 Jamaica Jmc HD 12-Year" 252 bottles at 70cl (120€-190€) with the same year and therefore same C<>H mark. In the year 2007 Hamden was officially closed so i assume this is a "test run" product. I was curious about the high ester (mostly Hampden) hype and now felt ready to have my shot at this special product everybody is talking about. I aknowledged some reviews about this mark and my expectations were very precise and somewhat high. This rum met all of them. The GRF Hampden edition is very intense in every way and simply a flavour bomb. I drank it outside and i did not have to put my nose even close to the glas to get the overripe banana... The aftertaste was aso very long compared to my previous rums. Since this is my first high ester rum i cant tell whether there is better. But it is definately good enough for a rating of 9.

Vůně: Převládá vanilka, potom dub, kůže, lehce koření.
Chuť: Lehce nasládlá, vanilkovo-dubová, ostřejší, čokoláda.
Dochuť: Sladká, střední, dub.

What's not to like? A simple molasses and slight banana nose with a hint of spice to keep it interesting. The funk of this Jamacain is toned down enough to be a straightforward sipper but it shines in cocktails, particularly as a daiquiri. Not going to blow anyone away but it's hard to argue with it when I see it on the shelf.

As far as a sipper, you can tell this is just a touch too sweet. It's a caramel candy that is borderline metallic in finish that kinda betrays it as a sipper. For thevmoney, I won't complain. As a mixer, I love to add this as a minority portion of my Mai Tais, as that sweetness if welcome next to a funky rum that's more well rounded. And for what it's worth, this is my favorite rum to cook with. I'll keep this bottle in my bar for the foreseeable future.

Definitely get the caramel notes from the Demerara but also a bit of funk from the Jamaican rum. Smooth and worthy of the FRS choice!

Very unique spiced rum which is all about campot pepper. Smell is simply the best I have ever experienced in rum. Taste is really purely peppery.

I am not fan of Mhoba rums because of their ester smell and taste, so my rating is purely personal.

Another sweet Naga which doesn't have anything to offer.
