    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love how the massive 70.3% ABV is remarkably well integrated, delivering a powerful yet balanced Hampden profile. Expect ripe pineapple and ester funk with tropical fruit, polished wood and an oily, long finish. Many recommend generous aeration to let initial solvent notes fade. Popular with 93 reviews and strong buyer confidence, this 2002, 19-year release (354 bottles) is a standout sipper worth savoring slowly.

    Great bottling - both wonderful fruit notes and wood, spice and a heavy caramel sweetness come together here. The alcohol is excellently integrated, the over 70% are not really tasty - except in the aromatic complexity. If Plantation can maintain this level, one can look forward to the coming releases.

    Impressive alcohol integration! An aromatic bomb, an explosion of flavor. A top-quality Hampden!

    Extraordinary Hampden with perfectly integrated alcohol. This one is really fun!

    A superb bottling! Jamaica funk, esters, wood, spice. The nose hints at the potential of this rum, perhaps a little spicy with its 70% abv. The palate is oily, creamy and at the same time astringent, with an outstanding interplay of aromas of tropical fruits, glue, wood... Very well integrated alcohol. A long finish rounds off this outstanding rum.
