Old Brothers Hampden Jamaican Rum (The Nectar) HJF 2002
Highly praised Hampden: intense tropical fruits, balanced esters and wood, great nose and long, fresh finish. Considered a standout, more nuanced take on classic Hampden funk.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who want a slightly more mature, pastry-and-wood driven Hampden at approachable cask strength, and collectors hunting rare discontinued marks.

Amazing flavors of powdered rouge and menthol, heavy vanilla and herbaceous, spice (with pepper, cinnamon… and baking spices). The dried fruits was fresh, uncooked or not even dry completely, with an aroma of olives and tea and unknown spices. woody, very complex. The complexity is the highest of the several, slightly higher than <>H, and is sufficiently open to not be closed at all. But the pleasure is a little bit lower. The smell-taste consistency, in addition to the intense tropical fruit notes, there are deep vanilla with tea and unknown plant/spice notes. The order of tropical fruits'presentation is slightly different from typical Hampden (HV, Continental Age, etc.). Overall, the flavors are complex and very layered, fulfilling my expectations of Hampden.
Glue, tropical fruits and bubblegum. Bloody brilliant!
A very greedy nose with tropical fruits ! Very very good! In the mouth more accessible than I would have thought. A real pastry. A slightly spicy attack that quickly gives way to smooth flavors. 2nd tasting and I like it even more 😍 One of the favorites of the year 2021
A really good Hampden! Pleasant ester, delicious fruit basket and nice heavy creamy oily! Top!
