This limited edition Hampden release from Jamaica, selected by independent bottler Habitation Velier, celebrates LM&V's 5th Anniversary with a bold experiment. Distilled in 2019 from molasses in a traditional pot still and aged for three years, it's bottled at a robust cask strength of 60.5% ABV. The nose is an inviting mix of banana, tropical fruit, and pineapple with subtle solvent hints, while the palate unfolds flavors of pineapple, tropical fruit, and delicate ester notes. Our community of RumX members has enjoyed its vibrant aroma and engaging, youthful character, though some found the alcohol intensity a bit pronounced. A refreshing, experimental spirit for those curious about a unique Jamaican rum experience.

"Did not have high expectations... but I am positively surprised. Nice young (though not wild) Hampden. Comes across very mild... Similarity to the LROK to recognize. Fruit basket and some glue everything very restrained but somehow coherent .finish it becomes slightly bitter ."

"While I like the nose very much - more vibrant and fruity vs. HV LROK - the mouthfeel is just a bit too harsh for my liking in this one. Very curious to see older bottlings of the HES. With more age, I imagine this to be a very easy going sipper."

"I am surprised! Nice tropical low Ester Hampden with good complexity, abundant fruit, light marzipan notes, rather on the astringent side."

"Doing a quick tasting, during cooking 😜 Lovely hampden with a very cool nose, but lacks in complexity/body and finish. I‘m curious, if we‘ll see some older bottling in the future."
