Kill Devil Jamaica Hampden 35 years 58.1°

An exceptional rum with a very pleasant nose, notes of ripe/rotten fruit, notes of wood varnish and engine oil, it should be noted that it must be left in the glass for at least 1 hour to enjoy all these qualities. Once in the mouth, the first thing is that it dries out the entire palate, then come notes of banana and pineapple to arrive at a very dark but delicate woody note and finally finish with notes of varnish and engine oil, very dark but very well balanced with a come-back side and on the rest of the sips, always the very dry but softer side and a beautiful cry in the spices, clove, pepper, notes of green bananas and once again the wood, varnish and engine oil, a very well integrated alcohol in the end, a 58° feeling 49/50 For my rating, I cannot give a quality/price ratio because it is out of category for me But in terms of aromatic concentration and aromatic diversity, it is 19/20 Integration of alcohol 18/20 Length in the mouth 20/20 In short, a traditional English rum made from molasses distilled in a Jamaican Steel pot of impeccable quality and incomparable taste level, once again Hampden did its job very well and Kill Devil bottled it very well.

An exceptional rum with a very inviting nose of ripe/rotten fruit, wood varnish, and motor oil. It should be left for at least 1 hour in the glass to enjoy all its qualities. Once in the mouth, the first thing it does is dry out the entire palate, then notes of banana and pineapple come through, leading to a very dark but delicate woodiness, and finally finishing with notes of varnish and very dark motor oil, very well balanced with a side that makes you want to come back. On the following sips, still very dry but softer, and a beautiful blend of spices, clove, pepper, green banana notes, and once again wood, varnish, and motor oil. A very well-integrated alcohol, ultimately a 58° feels like 49/50. For my rating, I can't give a value for money because it's out of category for me. But in terms of aromatic concentration and diversity, it's 19/20. Alcohol integration 18/20. Length in the mouth 20/20. In summary, a traditional English rum made from molasses distilled in Jamaican pot stills of impeccable and incomparable quality. Once again, Hampden has done a great job and Kill Devil has bottled it very well.
