How does this rum taste?
A robust Jamaican Hampden with punchy ester aromas; fruit, wood, and a hint of funk. A tad bitter and lacking full integration of high alcohol at 61.9% ABV. Distinct but pricey - enjoyable for seasoned palates.

“#4187 This is not a bad Jamaica especially when looking at the price tag. A nice ester profile with lots of fruit and medium roasted wood profile. The palate is dry and warm and the finish long. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some polish and tar.”

“Upon opening the sample, that wonderful hampdentypical ester/fruit nose immediately pours out and lingers for a long time. This is joined by a heavy fermented sweetness of tropical flowers.The palate is amazingly balanced... the relationship between fruit, sweetness, wood, esters and alcohol is quite balanced .The finish is more on the woody side.A really good Hampden, but to the top it is still missing something”

“Got a sample of this rum for free from RumX. It’s a pot still distilled Hampden distilled in 1998 whereafter it’s continental aged for 23 years in an ex-Rum barrel before bottled in 255 bottles at 61,9%. Overall a great Hampden HLCF that’s complex, funky and esters rich.”
