Swell de Spirits Hampden Anniversary Cuvée #2 <>H 2014
Highly praised high-ester Hampden: intense nose, tropical fruit-forward palate and long, warm finish. Seen as a solid, rounded 2014 <>H that still feels very typically Hampden.
Definitely a rum that needs its time in the glass to breathe, otherwise the esters can be overwhelming. After 30 minutes, a wonderful combination of tropical fruits, esters, nail polish, and cookie dough, which lasts deep into the finish.Read more

Auto-translatedWhat the hell is that color? Like liquid gold stretched with gunpowder. So the color is really very interesting! The taste is also interesting. Typical Jamaica with some dirty influences.
Auto-translatedA cuvée that leaves me perplexed: it starts with the color. The rum has a blackish tinge (my photo is not good). Strongly alcoholic on the nose, some tropical fruits and esters. All of this continues in the taste. However, there is also a distinct off-note reminiscent of gasoline, diesel, or heating oil (and not in a positive sense). For me, this is an absolute failure of a product.
Auto-translatedYes, you can really recognize the nose from miles away. There are lots and lots of esters and glue here, as well as plenty of tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana. Just waiting for the Caroni to arrive :)
