    How does this rum taste?

    Rich ester profile
    Fruity complexity
    Authentic Hampden character

    The Elliott Erwitt (Magnum) HLCF, a limited-edition rum crafted by the Hampden Distillery in Jamaica and bottled by Velier, offers a robust tasting journey, showcasing its 60% ABV potency. Distilled in 2016 from molasses using a traditional pot still, this rum boasts an intense ester profile with prominent pineapple, banana, and olive notes, reflecting its Jamaican origins. Aged for five years, it is praised for its fruity complexity and balance, despite its high alcoholic content. While appreciated for its authentic Hampden character, some find its finish overwhelming due to the alcohol influence. With only 600 bottles available, this release is a collector's delight.

     Very tasty ester fruit bomb. The alcohol is very well integrated for the young age. The high ester content is much more noticeable here than in the older HLCF that have been released recently.

     Also a very nice release. Fruity with some esters and nice wood and spices. I like the smoky touch in the finish and the empty glass reveals nice chocolate notes.

     So much alcohol in the finish. Taste as very cheap. Like Younger.
