How does this rum taste?
Sample Seventeen from the Hampden distillery in Jamaica is a bold expression selected by The Rum Mercenary & Kintra. Distilled from molasses in pot stills, it has been aged for 1 year and 9 months, offering a vibrant profile with potent esters, pineapple, and banana notes, underscored by a hint of vanilla. Bottled at cask strength with a 60.5% ABV, this limited release features only 150 bottles. Feedback highlights its fruity intensity and sweetness, but also notes its youthful sharpness. The blend of LROK, HGML, and DOK marks creates an intriguing, though raw, complexity that leaves enthusiasts eager for future, more mature releases.

Très caractéristique de la Jamaïque. Funky. Concentré. Puissant. Long. Du plaisir.
Quelle claque ! Un blend de hampden qui ne laisse pas indifférent. Tous les marqueurs sont là. Et le rapport qualité prix est excellent.
You can taste that it’s still pretty young, but value for money it’s a hard to beat HD blend (especially at todays prices). Esters and glue, I like it. Keeps lingering for quite some time. A bit of time makes it sweeter and smoother. The shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌
Sehr leckerer Hampden mit tollem PLV. Fruchtig und überraschend süß. Das Alter merkt man ihm etwas an, bin daher sehr gespannt auf die ältere Version.
