“#4069 Thanks to a good friend I got these nice Swell de Spirits and they perform pretty well. This is the last of the samples and also a great one. Intense and fruity, one might say dirty as well. Great balance between the elements and I like the rubber note in the back. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some herbal and nutts.”

“Excellent Hampden with a great smoky bacon note on the finish. The creaminess is reminiscent of the outstanding 1990 vintage. Top bottling!”

“Swell de Spirits has taken great care with this Hampden, and the result shows. Very exuberant, the nose generously reveals overripe exotic fruits, phenolic notes that are very well integrated, but also that fermented, vinegary and buttery side quite typical of the mark <>H. A very solid aromatic profile. The attack on the palate is both intense and very round. You feel the heaviness of the Jamaican profile, but also a creaminess that makes it very approachable. Amidst the fruit and esters, hints of olives complete the aromatic palette. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is very long and very dry, especially with the tannins. Spices, wood and floral aromas join the festivities to embellish the final bouquet. A rum that excels in its field, with an incredible price/quality ratio. Unfortunately, the New Yarmouth cask finish doesn't add any particular value.”
