RumX Advent Calendar Day 5 Nose ... Yeaaaaa this is something for me. Full power ester glue tropical, butyric acid, fruits (pineapple, banana papaya mango) marzipan... wonderful 😁 On the palate very similar to the nose a young savage with a lot of power super fruity with nice marzipan pastry. Really delicious ... Long fruity and slightly bitter finish.

Little bit sauer Hampden profile ... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"

Edit: had another blind look at RumX Advent calendar 2024 -5. I was almost sure I had recognized a DOK here. But well, I guess I was wrong. All in all, I wouldn't have given him any more points. Crosstasting C◇H 1. kill devil 2. FRC C◇H 3. the Duchess 4. TBRC Frankenstein 5. the Whisky Jury Edit: had it on the calendar again today and tested it against the FRC JMC. But again, for me it remains the weakest 2007 of the C◇H.

It starts with a perfect Hampden nose: lots of fresh fruit and associated sweetness. Wow, very astringent on the palate, sweet at the beginning, intensely fruity, then slightly salty. The finish offers a nice interplay between fruit and sweetness on the one hand and spice and salt on the other. Excellent Hampden!

RumX Advent 5.12.23 War blind vei einem DOK. Recht brachial und wild. Schöner öliger Hampden. Geprägt von Zitrus, gepuffter Reis und tropische Früchten. Die hohen Ester machen sich in der Säure bemerkbar. Eine sehr gute Abfüllung. Edit: Zitronenmarmelade, Klebstoff im Nachgang, insgesamt lecker aber schon eine brachiale Geschichte. Für mich nichts für jeden Tag, dennoch Jamaica- Hampden DNA.

Calendrier de l’Avent RumX, jour 5. Un nez d’esters et de fruits, fruits tropicaux et ananas, puissant mais assez pur. Le bois est présent mais discret. L’alcool, les esters et les fruits sont immédiatement présents en bouche. Belle amplitude, puis tous les arômes ensemble déclinent doucement. Petit arrière-plan médicamenteux. La finale est moyennement longue avec une belle acidité fruitée tout à la fin.

Very horny bottling. The oldest bottled HD 2007 so far.Price also absolutely fair for a 15 year old Hampden in 0.7.In the nose the typical HD 2007er C<>H flavors. On the palate you notice the further maturation and he is actually slightly different from the 2007s that I know.The Flensburg JMC remains for me the reference of the continental HD 2007, but super stuff the TWJ.For me 87/100

the whiskey jury must prove against the FRC JMC HD 2007,. The first thing that stands out is that the WJ is a bit darker - I attribute that to the slightly longer cask maturity, 15 years at the WJ vs. the 12 years at the FRC. But the difference is also noticeable on the nose, the WJ seems a bit rounder, more like sour cream, vanilla cakes and tropical fruit salad. The FRC still comes across a bit more aggressive (and that's even though the bottle has been open for over 2 years now), more on fermented citrus. Also on the palate, the FRC just comes across even more brute (but it also has a higher ABV). Conclusion: really good what WJ has bottled, but the C<>H quintessence comes to the FRC just a little more clearly to the fore.
