Hampden Pure Single Jamaican Rum 8yr 46%

"Finally i had the opportunity to taste this „famous“ rum. Very good rum. It could be a high 80 rum, but the alcohol isn‘t integrated well. I can recommend it for mixing and sipping.🥃 Very good price for value 💪🏻 Nose: a lot of fruits ester, pineapple, apricot, spicy, solvents, overripe banana, leather, vanilla Mouth: dry, elegant, delicious, spicy, banana, ester, solvents, fruity, peppery, vanilla, roasted Finish: is medium long, dry, astringend, woody(oak), vanilla, nutty, honey, fruity"

"The nose on tropical fruits well candied, buttered, spicy and metallic, the whole butter vanilla brings us a pretty pastry and greedy side all that slightly wooded. After 15/20 minutes it is rather red fruits which arrive with a touch of milk chocolate. The mouth is directly fruity, metallic, spicy and greedy like the nose. The final fades on the same notes as the mouth with a small smoked, chocolate and honeyed side which come to be added. A very wise Jamaican but still very aromatic for such a low titration! 🇯🇲"

"Good rum value for money! Less pronounced roast than its 60% velier counterpart."

"Well suited for getting to know the Hampden style. You get an idea of the heavy Hampden Rums."

"A classic in the Jamaican range!"

"I prefer the overproof version but it remains a real value. Not to be confused with the Batch 2 (on which is marked 8 years) which is lighter and more commercial than its original version."

"In the nose a dream. Must smell him again and again. Taste like its big brother only a little drier in the finish."

"Hampden Overproof diluted to perfect drinking strength"

"Compared to the successor RX3128: Fruitier, younger and sweeter nose. On the palate, a great flavor palette of banana, toasty spicy notes and a slight saltiness. This is fruitier, smoother and I really like the sweet banana note that runs through! Overall, I like it a little better than the successor, but I like the even younger 5 year LROK best"
