    How does this rum taste?

    Fans keep coming back for its lively tropical fruit and distinct Hampden ester notes. Banana, mango, and pineapple jump out on both nose and palate, rounded with orange peel and a touch of spice. While some find it lighter than older Hampdens, most agree it's perfect for cocktails or introducing newcomers to Jamaican rum. With great value and unmistakable character, it's a go-to for both casual sipping and mixing.

    The rum is okay, no highlight, but a simple, Well drinkable Hampden. Pulled from the big bottle with the pipette but it simply makes an impression, for that there are one, two points extra ;-)

    A decent young Hampden with tropical fruits (bananas) and esters, a bit light for me.

    Peut-être moins cool que son aîné de 2016. Mais ça reste quand même un super rapport qualité prix. Rhum ideal en cocktail, pour faire découvrir les Jamaicains à des débutants ou bien pour un petit verre plaisir. Je trouve que c'est une réussite.

    Golden in color, with mango, banana, pepper and shellak on the nose, the palate is dominated by pineapple, orange peel and cloves - I LOVE IT 😎
