1423 ApS Jamaica 2020 Selection Cavavin Belval

๐Ÿ"Barbecued pineapple atop vanilla & ginger mint ice cream"๐Ÿฆ

Here's a Hampden ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ rum, marque with a short 28 month continental virgin oak cask maturation. Coming in at 57% ABV.

On the nose: classic Hampden with grilled pineapple, orange zest, lime, vanilla, bubblegum, mango, caramel, clove, slight solvent & olive brine. With water: more vanilla, sea water, floral, perfume, honey.

The palate: pineapple juice, ginger, lime, mint, vanilla, bubblegum, cinnamon. Water brings more cream, less heat and a nicer balance.

The finish is mint, vanilla, slight oak, pepper. No change with water.

Overall this is a touch hot, but still brings classic Hampden notes, slightly improving with some water.

7/10
