„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)“

„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.“

„I like this one and you get the esters though they're not super high. A very fruity rum with some funk and wood/chocolate. I really like the smoky wood finish.“

„Nice combination of caramel and chocolate notes alongside nice tropical fruits. Alcohol is not flawlessly integrated however.“

„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.“

„Ich finde ihn gar nicht so Hampden-typisch. Wenig Frucht, Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden, eher schokoladig-alkoholische Noten. Gefällt mir nicht wirklich gut.“

„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.“

„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.“

„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!“
