TRC Hampden Jamaica <>H 2001
Highly praised continental Hampden: fruity-funky nose, creamy texture, balanced wood and spice, long dry finish. Esters are vivid but controlled, making it complex yet remarkably polished for its 59.3%.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who want a mature, well-rounded Hampden with tropical fruit, spice and oak rather than an all-out ester attack.

Wonderfully fruity and full of esters! Strong Hampden... my highlight of the fair in Nuremberg. It will be a bomb in the Mai Tai. Test completed in the Mai Tai... 100% recommendation. Fruit and woodiness come into their own 😀
Nose is clearly driven by notes from the cask with less intense fruit and ester notes. More complex less funky so to say. On the palate again very mature. Bringing some herbal notes to the table alongside fruits and notes from the cask.
Edit heute nochmal zu Weihnachten mit viel Zeit im Glas gehabt. Für mich einfach ein super Teil. Nochmal nach oben korrigiert Für mich persönlich einfach nur Bombe. Das erste mal auf der Messe verkostet und lieben gelernt.
Really a great bottling 😎 A fruity ester bomb with well integrated alcohol and barrel. A perfect dram to enjoy with your best friends🥃 The finish is quite long, dry, astringend (typical for the HE contingent) with lovely ester, fruits… just excellent!
