Top HGML, Top PLV. So möchte man Hampdens haben. Kräftiger, junger Jamaikaner, der sofort die volle Power aufs Parkett bringt. Versteckt sich nicht, recht eindimensional. Hampden Liebhaber werden ihn toll finden, Andere eher nicht so.
Very nice rum basically, but unfortunately I think it's still a bit too young and wild in my opinion. I think a few years in the barrel would have done it good. But highly recommended as a mixer.
Classis Hampden profile from start to end 🤗🤤 a lot of funk, esters, pineapple, overriped fruits, with a cool Kiwi note. The alcohol is well integrated. The barrel notes remain the most of the time in the background and give it a nice roundness.
8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get are esters with fermented, overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, kiwi, some citrus and some varnish, accompanied with floral and vegetal notes as olive. All nicely melted into a juicy marmelade with plums. Some spice and roastedness could be noticed after aeration. Perhaps some grass, a little of wood, mustiness, milk chocolate, menthol and marzipan after a nice rest. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is very fruity and vegetal. There are tons of esters. Our tasting buds are attacked with the same spectre as on the nose... As an addition, the rum is dry, salty, a bit mineral and when we count in also some menthol, olive, and of course molasses, a bit bitter... After a while, it becomes syrupy with some maple and caramelized. We certainly cannot miss vanilla, coconut and toasted wood, smoke well after our first sip...and a juicy strawberry🙂. 8,6:The finish is long and full of fermented tropical fruits, woody, dry and a bit astringent, vegetal and spicy, musty&mineral, with molasses and juicy strawberry...and very obvious cigar note in the end.
