low Ester Hampden with fruit that is a little more yellow and overripe tropical (guava, gassy mango, jackfruit) in combination with pineapple (normal and grilled) and lemons. Hampden spices, vanilla, pepper, wood, restrained esters and some solvent. Almond, chocolate and tobacco are also present. Quite tasty, low acidity 👌
Wow, I really had no great expectations of this rum. I would classify it more in the Low Ester Hampden category. But the taste is really good. More on the light easy sipper side for in between. I like it very much.
Good Hampden, but a low Ester Hampden, most like an OWH. More on the marzipan side, almost going in the direction of Worthy Park.
I also really like this bottling from Spiritori. In addition to the typical Hampden aromas on the nose, it also has pepper, vanilla and leather. On the palate, however, this bottling knows how to convince me much more. In addition to the pastry and butter notes that are not unusual for Hampden, tobacco, chocolate and almond notes also come through after a little time. The finish is peppery and slightly bitter, but that doesn't bother me at all. An ingenious bottling and clearly sets itself apart from the standard Hampdens.
