How does this rum taste?
The standout feature for reviewers is the explosion of tropical fruit—ripe pineapple, mango, and banana—with balanced esters and a signature Hampden funk that isn't overwhelming. Drinkers mention the pleasing mix of sweetness and spice, making it enjoyable for both relaxed sipping and tasting nights with other Great House editions. The 2021's approachable funk, complex nose, and long, spicy finish earn repeated praise, offering a well-balanced Jamaican experience worth having in your collection.

It's very well done, the nose is great! The ABV is a little low. Too bad...
This is a really nice Hampden release. Very round and tasty with lots of fruits and a balanced level of esters. I do like it quite a bit - recommended. If you are a „drinker“ don‘t fall for any inflated „collectors“ prices, however. While this is nice, it is not outstanding and there are plenty of Hampdens available which can compete.
This one is close to the other two, but I would have loved a higher ABV. In my mind that would have pushed the score a bit higher. I like the light smoky oak from nose to finish. On top of that there is fruit and a hint of caramel, tobacco and leather. The funk is there but the price to quality is very good.
Compared to the 2020 version, less powerfull and woodier in the finish. Alcohol is integrated very well.
