Spirit of the day Hampden #2 Jamaica Hmpdn 2012

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.

Simple and effective Low esters, but tasty all the same. Butter, pastry, lightly roasted almond, yellow and tropical fruits, a hint of tobacco... it's nicely done 😋 Nice length and good integration of the alcohol I like it 👍

Great fruity, balanced nose with some allspice and spice. On the palate, a round combination of banana, caramel and spice, almost resembling a good Worthy Park. Really tasty and well-balanced low-ester Hampden, but without any big surprises. Alongside the TDL 2008, this bottling from Spiritori is also really successful, flawless.

Tres beau hampden.

Superb! A light funk, but above all Beautiful, very ripe fruit, a hint of tobacco, a pinch of spice. Ultra gourmand, ultra pleasant, long finish. Overall, I loved everything about this rum! A great success.

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.

The nose is very fruity and spicy, for me it has something of an Irish whiskey. Some varnish and glue in the background. Unfortunately a little thin on the palate with spices, some olive, aniseed and vanilla. Rather dry. The finish is unfortunately quite short.

Located in the lower ester spectrum, the classic pineapple freshness is much less present here than in the high ester marques. Nevertheless, lots of tropical fruit, banana, pepper, subtle roasted aromas and barrel notes. Pleasant Hampden with a good price-performance ratio.

Sympa et gourmand, mais les OWH sont rarement mes préférés, et là encore je reste un peu sur ma faim. Une belle sélection tout de même pour un gentil Hampden!

Not bad, but unfortunately anything but particularly good in my opinion. I'm bothered by a penetrating petrol note on the nose as well as on the palate and in the finish, and very intense roasted aromas. Could have a lot more fruit esters for my taste, but the wood is quite present here. The alcohol could also be better integrated. It's just not really round overall, sorry.

Rhum très léger. Les marks à faibles esters ne me dérangent pas, tant que les fruits sont très présents, ce qui n est pas le cas ici. Un des hampden les moins intéressant que j ai dégusté. Pas mauvais, mais quelconque.
