How does this rum taste?
This Rum Runner OWH rum, crafted at the Hampden distillery in Jamaica, is a 59.7% ABV, cask-strength delight. Distilled from molasses using a Coffey Still, and aged for 10 years, it offers an aromatic bouquet of banana, young wood, and tropical fruits. On the palate, it reveals notes of pineapple, vanilla, and a subtle sourness, complemented by a young wood background. Despite some reviews citing alcohol harshness, it is valued for its balance of fruit and wood, and serves as an approachable introduction to Hampden's low ester rums. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a complex yet accessible rum experience.

I've had much better OWH in my glass... while the nose is still very harmonious with fruit, burnt sugar and a certain soft lightness, it loses its way on the palate. After a brief sweet intermezzo at the beginning, only wood, spice and roastiness dominate, with virtually no fruit at all. This is a little too one-sided for me
Un bon hampden low ester. Meilleur avec une pointe d'eau. Arômes boisés sur l'amande, fruits discrets.
Im Vergleich heute, der Velier OWH 2018 RX17319 und der OWH von Rum Runner RX15797. Vom Geruch hat der Velier die Nase für mich vorne. Wesentlich intensiver als der Rum Runner. Vom Geschmack liegt der Velier für mich auch vorne. Als Fazit, beide sind gut, aber es gibt bessere.
The nose starts very fruity, after a while the cask also comes into its own. Way down on the Hampden scale, but again amazingly intense! On the palate, unfortunately with a strong alcoholic spiciness but balanced between fruit and cask. Very good entry-level Hampden at cask strength.
