Rum Artesanal Burke’s Elements Feuer 59,8%

"So I can't find the connection to the topic of fire and the whisky casks for myself. But that doesn't matter, or maybe it's even better that way. I like it very much. And even more so for the price. If you like this style of rum and the rum you tested is also this rum."

"At first I'm confused: the label on the bottle states the alcohol content as 59.6%. On my sample, however, it says 69.8%. Coincidentally, exactly the same as the Elements Water. I guess the intern wasn't paying attention! The nose immediately reveals the Jamaican origin. Hampden esters without end! However, I mustn't smell too deeply into the glass - the alcohol hits me hard! At most, I can only detect a hint of smoke on the nose. The start on the palate is incredibly strong and the smoke is there too! Less medicinal but more in the direction of a campfire and fortunately not overpowering. After the smoke, there are flashes of sweet oranges. Overall very impetuous and sharp-edged. The influence of the whisky cask becomes even clearer towards the finish - but does not dominate the impression. As with many young Hampden bottlings, the finish is long but quickly loses its intensity. Although I'm not usually a fan of whisky-rum hybrids, I think this bottling is a successful experiment. The whisky influence remains subtle and underlines the "fire" in the name with the smoky note."

"Nach dem esterreichen Tollen Start mit "Wasser" nun also "Feuer" und wie der Name schon vermuten lässt sind Whisky Fässer im Spiel. In der Nase haben wir immer noch einen schönen runden Jamaikaner, da fällt dieser Fasseinfluss nicht allzu sehr auf. Das ändert sich aber gleich beim Antrunk wo uns ein rauchig-torfiges Profil erwartet das die tropischen Früchte klar dominiert. Alles in allem in Ordnung aber einfach nicht mein Geschmack aber auch nichts was ich weg schütten würde. Kann ich mir nämlich gut als Mixer mit Cola vorstellen."

"High ester meets a slightly smoky, peaty aroma. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated! Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the smoky aroma, even though the rum is basically harmonious and will probably have its fans. I can't really taste the sherry."

"Phew... On the nose still typical Hampden with lots of fruit and only subtle smoke and some marzipan. On the palate then extremely much smoke, peat, bacon and Islay whisky aroma. In my opinion, it almost completely destroys the Hampden and doesn't fit together harmoniously at all... Sorry, but that doesn't appeal to me at all."
