How does this rum taste?
Most love the powerful tropical fruit, estery funk and long, warm finish. Critics mention some disharmony between Clarendon and Hampden plus a touch of plastic/bitterness. Consensus: a bold, rewarding blend.
If you’re into full-proof Hampden or Clarendon single casks, this keeps that same funky, fruity intensity while adding a twist from blending—great if you enjoy character over polish.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike solventy funk, light bitterness, or any lack of polish in a blend.

An excellent blend where greediness and power are mixed. It is magnificent.
A Jamaican blend that starts with a nose full of greed and flavors, combining tropical fruits, nuts, solvents, smoky and caramelized notes with a nice balance. Powerful in the mouth, the rum remains faithful to what is in the nose, with the same greediness. The alcohol is well integrated, even if the first sip is quite strong. The finish is long and wants to be warm and sweet, the apricot prolonging the pleasure. A very nice blend.
Ich fand den Blend recht interessant. Die Clarendon und Hampden Komponenten sind klar rausschmeckbar – gehen aber leider nicht ganz so harmonisch ineinandet über, wie man es sich wünschen würde. Das ist aber Jammern auf hohem Niveau – immer noch sehr gut
Sì sente solo Hampden , per grassezza ed esteri . Alcool poco integrato, finale di plastica bruciata ed amarognolo .
