Hampden RA Elements Burke‘s Jamaica Rum

All about high ester funk with a shot of overripe fruit, this young Hampden showcases Hampden’s bold side and keeps its sherry finish subtle. One to try if glue, pineapple and mixing power are your thing.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Schöne Esterbombe
    • Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden
    • super PLV

    Elements Burke‘s Jamaica Rum lands with a hit of esters, glue, and bags of tropical fruit—think overripe pineapple, banana, maybe even a nudge of marzipan. Funk is unmistakable, with the sherry cask finish taking a distant back seat: “Das Sherry cask ist sehr dezent vorhanden” (@Johannes). The palate is dry, assertively astringent for some, but praised for being “explosiv, aber ... überhaupt nicht sprittig” (@Gunnar Böhme). While many see it as a “Frucht bombe” (@Master P) and standout high-ester mixer, a handful found it a bit “eindimensionaler” (@Johannes) or just plain too much glue.

    "Full Karacho! And at an absolutely fair price. Looking forward to the first Atomic Daiquiri with it."

    "Super exciting! Beautiful high ester Jamaican! The sherry cask is very subtle. Can be drunk neat, but also excellent in a cocktail! More high ester compared to Burkes, but perhaps a little more one-dimensional."

    "Insanely fair price. High ABV and full caracho Hampden. The finish does not blow me away. Thanks to Artur for the sample"

    "Tasted as part of the RA online tasting for the RumX lottery 06/2023. A PLV monster! Very, very fruity on the nose. The sherry influence comes into play relatively late. The icing on the cake: Smell of a fresh sea breeze. Delicious! The rum is explosive on the palate, but not at all fizzy despite being almost 70%. A nice new bottling that appeals."
