William Hinton 5 Casks Edition (24 Days Of Rum Advent Calendar 2022)
Five different casks — Madeira wine, whisky, brandy, Portuguese and Spanish wine — and yet most tasters land on the same verdict: young and unresolved. Expect wood, a thin honey-vanilla sweetness and a solvent, sometimes chemical edge, with tannins fighting a grassy agricole streak. At 3 years from Madeira's William Hinton, several found it harsh, earthy, and short on the finish.

Review by Richard Krupa
Trava a seno ve vzni, po vuni jak agricole, v chuti ale ne
Review by Timo Groeger
Auch dieser Rum hat eine gewisse Süsse, Honig in der Nase und Karamell im Gaumen. Aber auch hier ist der Alkohol nicht wirklich gut eingebunden. Ausserdem hat dieser Rum irgendwie einen sehr alkoholischen Geschmack im Abgang. Nicht so meins.
Review by MJ72
In der Nase leichte Lösungsmittel, Holz und etwas Vanille im Hintergrund. Im Mund dominiert das Holz, dann kommt die Vanille aus der Nase stärker durch und bleibt mit schwachem Tabac im kurzen Abgang.
Review by Irbis
Not something impressed me at all. Just simple as is and nothing you can expect in finish notes. Maybe good in cocktails, dunno
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
To finish the 1423 company "24 days of rum" calendar, I'm going to do 4-5 samples each day, This one has a nose of wood and hints of vanilla. In the notes I find more wood, some tobacco and a sweetness
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
Další vzorek z adventniho kalendáře. Tenhle zcela průměrný. Ve vuni citim něco syntetického se stopou dřeva. V chuti trošku agricole, jemná sladkost a trisloviny na jazyku. Bohužel nic, co bych chtěl ještě někdy ochutnat.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Docela těžko popsatelná květinově ovocná vůně. Tělo celkem fajn, ale závěr mi nesedí. Dost nevyzrálé, bijou se třísloviny s typickou agricole chutí a prostě to spolu nesouzní. Delší doba zrání by byla vhodná, viz vzorek pro kalendář 2023. Edit: po delší době dopíjím vzorek a ten závěr to fakt kazí. Jinak by to byl ucházející rum.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Très moyen en tout, pas d'intérêt. Finale ultra courte, le tout fait qu'il est très difficile de le décrire : inexistant...
Review by Cédric Meyers
Intéressant mais très complexe. Ce rhum à été vieilli pendant 3 ans dans 5 fûts différents. Vin de madère, whisky, brandy, vin du Portugal et pour finir d’Espagne. On a peu d’info la dessus. Dommage qu’il y aie tant de mélange, il aurait pu être plus intéressant.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Dieser Rum ist insgesamt an Nase und Gaumen sehr alkoholisch für swine 45%. An der Nase aber auch noch angenehme Honig artige süße dabei. Am Gaumen dann sehr trocken, herb und pflanzlich. Nicht mein Ding. Und wieso der jetzt in 5 verschiedenen Fässern gereift wurde ist ein Rätsel
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
In der Nase empfinde ich ein einzelnes störenderes Aroma, am Gaumen verbreitet er sich schnell und sehr alkoholisch, der Abgang lässt mich unbeeindruckt.
Review by Robert Houba
Nezajímavá vůně, ostřejší chuť
Review by benoit burger
Very ripe fruit on the nose, with a hint of woodiness and an unpleasant (for my taste) dry, huffy side. On the palate it's not great either, same structure as the nose with alcohol not very well integrated. The length is short to medium, with a touch of brine and olive.
Review by rum_sk
No, no, no. It tastes worse than it smells. The only substance that I can smell, and this is overriding every other tones I can sense, is a crushed penicilin pill. Taste is rather harsh with earthy/vegetal tones supported by chemical synthetic taste that leaves a chalky feeling on the tongue. Only mild sweetness (but it is there). However, I am not a fan. The biggest plus is for the length of finish which is really long. Too bad for me because I don't like the taste of this rum. God that chalky feeling on the tongue is weird.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.20 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Harsh on the nose with tequila and port. After it sets more notes of vanilla and dried fruits comes forward. On the palate there is a fermented overripe taste of dried fruits and barrel.
Review by Rado Vito
I can smell something strange in this rum, like mold or old wet wood. Also in the taste of this rum you distinguish chocolate, mint and something wrong. I couldn’t finish the sample of this rum

This Rum is too young for it's own good. On top of that it had this acidic quality that a lot of not well-balanced fermentation yeasts produces. They clearly are good technical. But still they fail to produce something enjoyable here.
