LROK

Excellent! one of my favorite hampden. It's really elegant, you don't feel the 67°, it's so well made!

A world of difference between the opening of the bottle and four months later. A hard, alcoholic rum turns into a still strong, but very fruity rum with a very well integrated wood. A little bit of water softens the nose, reveals even more fruit and brings out a slight smokiness. A very nice surprise and a delicious rum! A remarkable rum raisin finish. Re-tasted and even better.

Welcome to Jamaica! In the nose coconut, pineapple , banana, spicy and lovely ester notes. In mouth it‘s starts with a bitter taste than it delivers the classic funky note with fruit basket, anise, ester… The finish is dry, woody with notes of ester, chocolate anise and tannins. Very very delicious rum. It‘s complex and spicy, so give it some time to fully open. You could add some water for sure (2-3 drops)

Fourth tasting and still really good 😋😋 - Many tastings in and still this is a really really god rum 😋😋

Great! Wonderful rum, great length

What a great rum - I love it. Delicious in every respect and definitely recommended... not just for high ester junkies. Aroma: Very sweet and funky at first sniff - delicious Jamaica rum, delicious Hampden. Aromatic and strong with lots of esters, plus vanilla and tropical fruits (mango, banana, overripe pineapple, Bailoni apricot liqueur). Creamy and creamy with coconut. Taste: Sweet, fruity in the mouth and, given the alcohol content, naturally alcoholically sharp after a few seconds. Also sweet when sipped, very fruity (mango, papaya, apricot schnapps). Some creamy toffee. Intense - it has real power. Finish: Very long, sweet and fruity. Warms from deep inside. Then becomes somewhat spicy and woody, with a dry, woody aftertaste.

One of the best Hampden habitation Velier, it need to breathe for at least 30min prior tasting. It's a very complex dram, many layers come one after another, Its really rich and enjoyable. Amazing Rum!

A very aromatic and powerful Hampden, with a typical nose of ripe tropical fruit, citrus, solvents, esters and varnish, followed by more floral notes, vanilla and wood. After aeration, a hint of smoke and meatiness emerges. The rum is powerful and intense on the palate, carried by Jamaican markers, marzipan, leather and spices. The alcohol is certainly present, but remarkably well integrated. The extremely long finish continues the spicy, smoky, salty, fruity profile with hints of tannin and leather. A very intense, aromatic, gourmet rum that is a credit to its distillery.

Superb Jamaican, it sends the watts 😍

One of my first jams and even when I come back to it today with more experience and baa it's still just as good 🔥

Un fort gout de mangue, très agréable. Le côté sombre de la finale contrebalance bien le milieu de bouche très fruité. C'est très réussi.

Rocket fuel!

In terms of taste, rather on the sweet side of tropical fruits (mango, papaya, banana). In addition, a funky finish with some rubber. In the taste also some chocolate. For a LROK already pretty funky.

Very fruity nose with full ester! On the palate, all the promise of fruit is there! It's very intense, a multitude of tropical fruits, very ripe and the alcohol is superbly well integrated. So good!

Didn't leave a review at the first tasting, so posting one now. A bit floral on the nose, some honey, vanilla, banana, raisins. Pineapple and spices are hiding in the back. Very nice so far. Full blast on the palate with ripe pineapple and spices, you get a hint of the strength of this but very briefly before surprising sweetness kicks in. Finish not too long, I'm maintaining the score from the initial testing.
