Nobilis No.2, 27y Hampden C<>H.
After a fairly Great debut, with the 32y 1988 Enmore, the new Danish IB brand Nobilis, is Ready with a follow up. This time we have a 27y, High ester jamaican. Lots of good rum from Hampden, But Sadly it seems like the quality has fallen a bit lately. At least on the younger batches… lets see how this bad boy is presenting it self😉🥃
Nose:
From the second i uncork the bottle, the esters fill the room. No doubt this is Old, High ester Hampden😅 my First association is the 35y HGML bottleings. With an ABV on 65,8% It’s about 7% higher, and it tells. When in the glass, the high alcohol hits you first, But behind it, comes the overripe fruits, citrus and deep full bodied ester nodes.
Palet:
Okay wauw, this is unik. There are nodes i never tried before in a rum😳 as it hits the mouth, it’s not the thick oily liquid as i imagined. But smoothe and fresh. Allmost energizing. The High ABV is not as present as i feared! It’s Nice and easy. And then comes the freaky shit. At First i Cant tell what this is! I know the taste But just cant wrap my head around what it is. Then it hits me! Sushi🤣 fresh Salomon and Tuna😳 must Crazy thing is, IT WORKS😂 this is awesome🤣❤️🥃 It’s not overwhelming or dominant, But it’s there. I never in my wildest imagination thought i would use taste of Fish to describe rum🤣🙈 especially not as a really positive thing🤩 after it wears off and nuts, spices and more sharp nodes comes to play. Leaving a more conventional rum after taste in my mouth.
Aftertaste:
As the expressions cool Down and leaves me speachless im left with a sweet, fruity, gentle aftertaste. The tropics are still present, even thou it was Continental aged😊❤️🥃
OKAY!! Honestly this one left me in a bit of conundrum! I NEVER tasted anything like this😳 this is a rum that will split the mob in two! Either you love it or you hate it. Hats off to Nobilis, they have nuts the size of boulders💪🏼 Personally im a fan! But im fucked up, i like the freaky shit🤣
No matter what, at least get a sample, and have your mind blown🤯🤪
95/100
Cheers😁🥃
