    How does this rum taste?

    The Whisky Blues Pure Single Jamaican Rum JMD is a distinguished 1997 Hampden distillate, matured for 24 years and bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 59.4%. Celebrated for its fruity, ester-rich profile, featuring notes of banana, pineapple, and vanilla, this limited release of 206 bottles showcases a balanced integration of flavors. User reviews frequently praise its harmonious blend of tropical fruit and woody undertones, making it approachable yet complex. While some find the aging rounded out rather than added complexity, the smooth integration of alcohol and nuanced flavors provide an appealing experience for Jamaican rum enthusiasts.

    What a great Hampden, reminds me a lot of the RC 1992 HLCF (RX10260). Fruity Esters, loads of banana and pineapple ,vanilla, wood and some salty olives. It also got a lot of tannins which make it a little astringent while being sweet and fruity at the same time. Great combo and it is definitely on the right side of a thin red line. Overall a complex and very balanced drop. Thanks to Venomino for the sample!

    A Hampden to my taste. Lots of tropical, overripe fruit, esters, glue, marzipan on the nose and beautifully intense on the palate. Perhaps a touch too bitter on the finish, but otherwise a really great bottling.

    A very well-balanced Hampden that is also suitable for beginners. It can be classified in the lower ester range and is well balanced with delicate fruit, sweetness, woodiness and spice. It contains no surprises, which is very positive in this case

    Schöner fruchtiger Hampden, hätte mit einer deutlich stärkeren Holznote gerechnet nach 24 Jahren im Fass. Alles in allem ein guter Jamaicaner der eher im Low Ester Bereich einzuorden ist. Danke an venomino für den Split
