I’m usually a big believer in balance. Everything in moderation. I have one pour a week, rest of the evenings it’s green tea. Even in tastings, I seldom go beyond 2 pours ( a sip of many different whiskeys ). But this one here really tested that ying-yang balance approach. It’s way too drinkable, and one can easily drink 1/4 of the bottle before even knowing it. So, this is a Hampden 19 yr , Jamaica. Not sure if it’s aged fully in the tropics or UK…but I’m guessing partial tropics , partial UK. On the nose, you get pineapples and bananas. Taste—-fruit salad—with more of the pineapples and banana, limoncello…and green olives?!?! That turn from the Caribbean to Italy really makes this elevate from a 3 star good rum to a 4+ unique one. I’m not a fan of sweet rums at all, and the only ones I’ve liked were the high funk / eater of Caroni or Foursquare. But this has a balance of both—you get the fruits and the ester funk. Made for whiskey fans —specifically if you’re a fan of Irish whiskey or Cambeltown. Unfortunately, as soon as Serge Valentin came out with a 91 score, these sold out. Glad I took the plunge and bought a bottle
