“In my opinion, the Long Pond is pushed into the background here. You can hardly recognize anything of the Long Pond. Even after some time in the glass, it is only faintly discernible. The 2014 Hampden is typical of the vintage as far as I can remember, but doesn't stand out either. Pleasant blend, but unfortunately nothing more”

“The Whisky Jury presents an interesting blend of Long Pond and Hampden. "Big" sips are more fun here and allow the full potential of this rum to unfold. Typical Jamaican aromas, plus cookie dough. Oiler and smoother on the palate than expected, not an astringent ester bomb that bombards the mouth with fruit from tropical regions. It's a shame that the finish is very short, reminiscent of the disappointing Nine Zero Hampden 2014.”

“I was somehow not looking forward to this. With indie Blends i am somehow always doubtful. And here is a good example why. I really like the dominating Long Pond here. But it honestly feels as the Hampden ruined the show here a little bit. It stands next to each other and does not become a new third thing.”
