Samaroli Hampden Jamaica Single Cask HLCF 2012 10yr 59,5%
Introducing the Jamaica Single Cask HLCF, a 10-year-old limited edition rum produced at the Hampden distillery in Jamaica and selected and bottled by independent bottler Samaroli. Distilled in 2012 from Molasses with a Pot Still, this cask strength rum boasts an impressive ABV of 59.5%. With only 239 bottles available, this is a true collector's gem. Our RumX community members found the rum to have tropical fruit, ester, and pineapple notes on the nose, while tasting ester, dry, spice, tropical fruit, and nutty flavors. The HLCF has received mixed reviews, with some appreciating its ester kick and fruity aromas, while others found it to lack the signature Hampden fruitiness and were disappointed by its bitter undertones. Overall, it's an interesting rum with both fans and critics.

How does this rum taste?
A complex Jamaican rum with unexpected twists—some find it strays from typical Hampden funk, offering floral and woody notes with a divided reception on fruitiness and alcohol integration. A promising nose, but the palate may disappoint faithful Hampden lovers. Limited and intriguing.

“#4233 03.09.2023 this was a nice blind tasting where I saw the black Glencairn tasting glasses for the first time. Not too bad a release but I think the alcohol could have been better integrated. Even when rested for a good while there is still a little bite from the ABV. Intense and fruity with nice esters. The palate is medium dry and warm. The wood and roasted notes are well balanced. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some light caramel and nuts.”

“Unfortunately, the expectations could not be met. With the framework data I thought it could be very exciting. 10 year old HLCF with over 60% and a little over 100€. Unfortunately, I miss the flavors so typical for Hampden very much. So blind for the some do not assign Hampden. Too bad, had expected much more”

“Hampden? I would say that a barrel was swapped.... Blind I would be for quasi-absent fruit and distinct astringent bitterness with Clarendon.”
