“A rum in my opinion inferior to the Hampden always Velier. A good rum, but a clone of the Hampden and therefore with little point of existence, besides its now overpriced price.”

“I got both versions of this rum today and I just couldn't wait. This is a very good blend especially thinking that the price tag. You get a lot for your money. The nose is very fresh, funky and fruity with esters, grass, wood and very light vanilla. The palate is well balanced and feesh with fruit, esters, roasted wood and light vanilla and grass. The finish is long and has raisin, wood, chocolate and light vanilla. Leave the empty glas for a few hours and nose it again :-)”

“On the nose a very pronounced fruitiness, which I had not expected so! Very beguiling!On the palate a brief presence of fruit then increased espresso, dark chocolate and young wood!But always there, something artificial, which I can not define exactly, but bothers me! The finish is relatively short and unspectacular!This extremely fruity nose gives it a few plus points, otherwise rather average”

“I had read that the reduced version was disappointing. Well, I don't regret to have tasted it.It's a reduced but cool blend that is close to the Hampden 8 years old and the Younger.The Hampden is very present, with its usual characteristics.For the price of release, it's pretty cool.Edit: pretty cool this rum. The reduction has smoothed out the flavors but it's still a pretty decent entry for the price.”

“Nose: initially a somewhat pale impression, a little fruit brandy (pear) and Jamaica (tropical fruit, Hampden?)Palate: I think I can taste the Clarendon profile. Solid but without surpriseAftertaste: more on the side of barrel and cocoa, less fruity.I'm glad not to have bought a whole bottle but only a sample.”

“What is still enticing on the nose is very disappointing on the palate. The smell lures with nice Jamaican aromas and my first thought goes to Hampden, with the classic estery notes of banana, pineapple and a few other citrus fruits. Behind that, a spicy undertone that comes across as nutty and spicy and probably comes from WP. Overall, perhaps a bit unbalanced, but still versatile.On the palate, unfortunately, a bit thin, here clearly prevails the WP portion and offers little tropical fruit in addition to the nutty spice, which were still so pleasantly present in the nose. Mediocre blend, for me the sample is quite enough.”

“A blend of Hampden notes and green apple from Worthy Park. In the mouth a little copper and a lot of banana. In the finish, the taste changes a bit in raisin and mint.”

“The other day I already had the big brother in the glass, now times the diluted to 47%...Nose: all aromas finely balanced, nothing stands out, but everything sniffable. First there are unobtrusive, restrained esters accompanied by sweet and sour lemon and lovely mango. Seems a bit metallic. Mild honey and a bit of caramel add some sweetness, while there's still some freshness, not quite mint, not quite eucalyptus, but kind of in that vein. A deep draw brings out some vinegar. Slightly woody in the back. Relaxed. 78Palate: the esters are up front, but rather light and approachable. Bitter and tart at the start, towards lime or lime zest. It also seems slightly metallic here. Out the back it gets a bit woodier and still gets a pleasant sweetness from licorice. Unfortunately, only short in the finish. 78Totally too light for me, a bit too thin and too "harmless". Certainly, however, a good Jamaica starter.”

“Un bon rhum d’entrée de gamme pour la Jamaïque à un prix très abordable. Le nez apporte sa dose de funk avec les esters, les solvants, les fruits tropicaux trop mûrs. Un soupçon de bois fait son apparition au nez. C’est doux, simple, direct et efficace. En bouche, le rhum se veut gras, huileux, étonnamment sirupeux mais harmonieux dans l’ensemble. L’influence d’Hampden et de Worthy Park se fait ressentir, entre les notes funky d’un côté et les épices (poivre, muscade, vanille), le bois et le menthol de l’autre. La finale se veut plus marquée par les saveurs chaudes, épicées et pimentées. Les notes fumées, de cacao et de bois donnent un profil sec, tandis que les fruits exotiques et le menthol apportent un peu de fraîcheur et de gourmandise. Pour un rhum réduit, il en reste pas moins très savoureux, assez complet et encore une fois à un rapport qualité / prix très intéressant.”

“der ‚blaue’ im direkten Vergleich mit dem ‚roten‘: Der rote punktet etwas höher, da er trotz des höheren ABV runder wirkt. Der blaue ist mehr bei den vergorenen HD-Noten, der rote mehr bei den fruchtigen WP-Noten. Zum Ausgsbepreis beide eine gute P/L.”

“First Tasting: slight disappointment, I hoped that the Worthy Park component complemented the Hampden one, but I fear that I am thoroughly a Hampden fanboi, and WP does not work for me, in comparison. While Hampdens always have a smooth and sweet mouthfeel (despite bei unadulterated), WP is more dry. 2nd Tasting: the sample obviously had more air, and I am liking it a bit more. Still dry and a bit sharp (as I am used from HV WP samples), but more fruit and wood. I checked this as an alternative to the Hampden 8yo, which is a Default for mixing and easy drinks, and it is in the same price range. But it will not replace it, I like the Hampden more.”
