How does this rum taste?
Fruity, easy-going Hampden funk
If you’re Hampden-curious but not ready for full-strength funk, this gives you the core banana–ester profile in a softer, wallet-friendly format that shines in mixed drinks and casual pours.
Those chasing deep, aged complexity, people who prefer very intense cask-strength funk, or drinkers wanting a heavy, concentrated sipper over a lighter profile.

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 😎
