The Nectar Hampden The Nectar Of The Daily Drams OWH

A potent cask strength Jamaican rum from Hampden, notable for fruity aromas and a smoky, mineral taste, yet some find it less ester-forward than expected.

Fruity nose, smoky taste; lacking Hampden funk.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex fruity aroma
    • Smooth alcohol integration
    • Unique whisky-like profile

    The Nectar Of The Daily Drams OWH is a Jamaican rum distilled in 2012 at the Hampden distillery and aged for 9 years. Bottled at cask strength with a 60.8% ABV, it offers a complex aroma of fruity banana, dried figs, and lime. The taste profile features black tea, smoky accents, and subtle tobacco and dried fruit notes. While praised for its integration of alcohol, this low ester Hampden rum presents a deviation from the typical high ester fruitiness, offering a mineral, whisky-like experience. Users note a distinct smokiness yet criticize its lack of roundness and punch.

    "This one was disappointing. No Jamaican funk like you normally find in a Hampden."

    "Alkohol nicht gut integriert. Schöne Nase, aber im Mund dann alkoholische Fehlnoten. Abschließend kein starker Rum. Vielleicht als Cocktail Mixer gerignet, dafĂŒr aber natĂŒrlich sehr teuer."

    "What's going on here? Even though OWH does not promise a high ester, there is hardly anything recognizable of the classic Hampden here - smoke that evokes associations of a whiskey finish, plus vegetal notes, hidden tropical fruits and some syrupy, heavy sweetness. On a positive note, the alcohol is excellently integrated. Nevertheless, I can do with the flavor mixture offered here times so nothing."

    "Nase finde ich ehrlich gesagt gar nicht so schlecht – am Gaumen dann eher enttĂ€uschend. Hat mich auf jeden Fall gefreut, da es mein erster OWH Single Mark ist, den ich verkoste. Nase knapp unter 8 und Gaumen eher knapp unter 7. Also alles in Allem aber noch ein guter Rum
