How does this rum taste?
The HD JMH3 Rum from the Hampden distillery in Jamaica is a sophisticated, limited-release spirit aged for nearly 11 years. Distilled from molasses and boasting an ABV of 58.4%, it exhibits a rich array of aromas and flavors, including apple, vanilla, and oak. Professionals and enthusiasts alike appreciate its nuanced profile although some find it atypical for a Hampden rum. It features notes of vanilla, apple, and young wood, complemented by a hint of creme brulee. While praised for its balance and fruity undertones, its low ester profile and lack of a long finish may underwhelm traditional Hampden fans. Available in only 232 bottles, this rum reflects matured elegance with a touch of Jamaican essence, favored by those seeking a unique tasting experience.

I would guess that this is an OWH. Nice profile that reminds me more of Worthy Park than Hampden. However, the Mark is not my Hampden favorite.
I would never have come up with Hampden blind. The aromas are too atypical. Initially, I have an artificial wine gum fruit note on the nose, which develops towards yellow fruit and mango after some time in the glass. Later, a hint of creme brulee is added. On the palate, it is initially creamy and soft. The alcohol is well integrated. At first I taste a strong sweetness of honey and again creme brulee. Then comes some vanilla, light wood, allspice, delicate esters and finally cookie. I can't find any more fruit... The finish is relatively short with caramel, vanilla and later dried fruit. A good bottling, but Hampden? I doubt that here 🤷🏻
Ein schöner Rum mit fruchtigen Estern und kräftigen Aromen, der hat gut Druck auf dem Kessel. Tropenfrüchte, Klebstoff, Vanille und Ingwerschärfe, dazu ein Spritzer Limette. Kein Funk, aber ein kräftiger Bass. Gefällt mir gut. 89/100 oder 7/10
Rather closed nose. Needs to be left to air for a long time. Discreet apple, crème brûlée, vanilla and wood. On the palate, wood dominates. Then fruit. A touch of fermentation. Acidic. Astringent. Long, warm finish (peppery).
