Ne ist den Preis nicht wert. Vielleicht als Deko die Kartons, aber auch als Mixer taugen die nicht wirklich

Rx16527 is really tasty, very nice Dominican, that I now want in a whole bottle, @Gunnar. :grinning:, especially great price/performance.

Weiss jemand warum das Unaged Ding Farbe hat? Wird doch wohl nicht gefärbt worden sein?!

Wo liest du unaged? Ich lese “High Ester & Glass Cask Blend”. Glass Cask heißt bei Mhoba Dame Jeanne (Glasballon) mit Wood Chips drin – wenn ich mich recht erinnere. Duch die Wood Chips kommt schon Farbe.

Wie der von DeinWhisky keine Ahnung, der FRC ist echt gut, aber man sollte ihm echt Zeit geben und nicht ungeduldig sein.

Ja, werde ihm nochmal eine 2te Chance geben. Der ist ja auch nicht schlecht, nur haben mich die anderen mehr überzeugt. Jammern auf hohem Niveau …

Did some scientific research for all of you by tasting the 2022, 2023 and 2024 Pagos (Pagi?) next to each other.

The 2023 is the clear loser. I get way too much rubber/sulphuric notes from the 2023 Pagos. It simply loses touch with Hampden or a good sherry finish.
Then things get more even: you recognise more Hampden in the 2022 Pagos but the profile is a bit more one-dimensional than with the 2024. The 2022 has a more general sweet profile because of its finish whereas the finish of the 2024 Pagos really adds layers of flavour to the profile of the rum. That does kill off the Hampden profile a little bit.
I thought the 2024 Pagos is more interesting than the 2022, and therefore my winner.
That being said, a good Hampden actually does not need a sherry finish and I would like to drink my Hampdens without.
If there will be a 2025 edition (since it does not seem to be too successful), I hope the finish will be adding the complexity of the 2024 without losing too much of the original Hampden profile.

TLDR

  1. Pagos 2024
  2. Pagos 2022
  3. Pagos 2023

Thank you for this. I was wondering how the new pagos is … I had my finger on the trigger.
But it looks like that I try a sample before buying a whole bottle because of your quick review :+1:

Btw … I pulled the trigger and I am splitting a bottle now. Sharing is caring.
