Review by zabo
I can't understand how you have to give a 2007 such a finish. It's actually a really good vintage in itself. For me, the sherry influence is definitely too clear and ends in a musty old cellar vault taste. Not at all my profile of what I imagine. It also reminds me of cardboard boxes that have been left to rot in a damp cellar for years.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Das Finish gibt dem Rum vor allem am Gaumen eine bestimmte Richtung, für mich weg vom HD-Obstkorb (der die Nase dominiert), hin zu einer trockeneren, wurzel- oder gemüseartigen Anmutung, vor allem nach hinten raus. Habe ich noch nie so erlebt. Ich mag - und das ist echt ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal innerhalb meiner bisherigen Verkostungen - vor allem den Abgang, der mich in meiner Vorstellung in einen alten, staubigen Fasskeller führt, in dem vielleicht auch Kartoffeln über den Winter gelagert werden. Fazit: Ja, Experiment gelungen, wenngleich nicht herausragend. Wiedererkennungseffekt durchaus vorhanden, aber kein all time favorite. Interessanter Rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr intensiver Hamdpen mit Sherry Finish. Das oloroso finish bringt eine mich persönlich störende säure mit dazu die mit den sehr intensiven estern nicht so Recht harmoniert, dazu etwas geröstetes sesamöl und Überreifes vergorenes Obst.. Kann man als high Ester Fan schon machen aber überzeugt mich nicht gänzlich. Ohne Finish hätte das ein toller Hampden werden können, für mich wurde der hier eher "verschlimmbessert"...

Für mich der Beste 2007 C<>H mit Finish. Vielen Dank für das Sample Tobi 🙏🏼. Die C<>H DNA ist noch vorhanden

Strong Hampden profile that I like. But why the hell is there sour tail..?

#4691 06.04.2024 Relaxing at home with a few good rums. Nose Wood, light roasted, ester, fruity, light glue, sherry, light citrus. Palate Wood, faint smoke, ester, glue, cherry, fruity, faint leather, faint chocolate. Finish Long and warm, wood, ester, fruity, light chocolate. The empty glass has stronger chocolate notes as well as herbs. Pretty good finish where the sherry does not dominate.
Review by Filip Šikula
Velmi intezivní hampden. Plný nos ovoce a intenzivních esterů. V chuti z počátku na patře ovocitá divočina tak jak jsme u marky C<>H zvyklí, ale později se rozvine něco, co je velmi nezvyklého, ale za mě zbytečně rušivého.
Review by Johannes
Für mich persönlich etwas zu viel Sherry-Noten. Eigentlich hat das ein guter 2007er gar nicht nötig.
