How does this rum taste?
The Jamaica Rum C<>H is a distinguished release from Hampden Distillery, noted for its remarkable 28-year aging process and limited availability, with only 65 bottles. Distilled from molasses using a pot still, it embodies a complex profile with prominent ester notes, tropical fruit flavors, and an undertone of overripe fruit. The rum is praised for its well-balanced and nuanced character, presenting an intricate mix of woody and umami elements. At a robust 58.9% ABV, its cask strength may require time or a splash of water to appreciate fully. Rum connoisseurs commend its compelling blend of flavors, though some find it slightly acidic on the finish, maintaining its status as a luxurious and elegant choice among seasoned aficionados.

Brine, old cooking fat, nail polish remover, fermented fruit. What doesn't sound very tempting is a finely balanced, highly complex wealth of aromas that make up a high-quality rum. Astringency just tolerable, but too much acidity in the finish for me. Therefore not top of the league for me.
Great fireworks. Creamy texture like the other world-class Hampdens. Strikes just the right balance between acidity, fruit and esters. Super elegant, light-footed rum. Slightly metallic notes on the finish.
Up to now, I haven't been able to do much with most continentally matured Hampdens or Jamaicans from the 90s (in relation to the price) and have a preference for tropically matured ones. But this one tastes quite good to me and is definitely one of the better/best I've tried. Reminds me of the Salon du Rhum, which I also found very cool.
Really nice Hampden with a great complexity, a lot of wood, grilled meat and grilled fruits. In the aftertaste the fruits are getting a bit fresher (pears and apple juice). Shout out to Tom and Quent :)
