    How does this rum taste?

    Fruity and approachable Hampden
    Alcohol well integrated
    Good entry for Jamaican rum

    A vibrant mix of ripe tropical fruits, especially banana and pineapple, leads the profile of Hampden OWH—gently underscored by vanilla and subtle esters. RumX tasters note its accessible, balanced style with well-integrated alcohol and a touch of Jamaican funk, though some find the acidity or complexity a touch below expectations. Worth a sip for fans of lighter, fruit-forward Jamaican rums.

     For me, the nose is a bit more Clarendon than Hampden. Relaxed sipper, but sportily priced. Not the glorious end to a fantastic series.

     mmh… i‘m a bit disapponited… This one takes the last place of the Hampden Velier series, for sure. Not for the low ester content, it just not knock my socks off. Also the price per value rating is horrible..

     Very good and actually almost exactly what I expected and hoped for. Medicinal with vanilla, a little marzipan, lots of semi-ripe banana and a few tropical fruits with varnish and phenol. Very great low ester Jamaican that scores with its tropical maturation
