„One of good SBRR, but they usually have one problem: too spicy and alcoholic. This one is also too woody(woody and pungent). But anyway, the flavor is concentrated and superior to Noblis No.7 in all aspects.“

„This is a beast from Hampden and it needs to rest for a while, I did 30 minutes after which it released a lot of funky flavours.When added a few drops of water it really opened up and really kicked the right notes.This is a rum that I'm certain whisky lovers are going to lova as well.Price to quality is very good.“

„Beautiful, heavy sweetness, overripe tropical fruits, wood, plus fresh green notes and subtle bitter notes that remind me of licorice and olives. Comes with this profile a bit more complex, which suits the rum well and gives it an exciting variety of flavors. Very good.“

„A Hampden that is both gourmand and enhanced by a vegetal side and spices. The balance is perfect for my taste.“

„The nose is here for my taste already too pungent intense after fermented fruit. Clearly more intense than the Rum Club and Nobilis HLCF bottlings from this year with not so well integrated alcohol. This is really something for ester freaks.“

„For my taste a little too woody! The typical Hampden-feeling is missing me unfortunately“
