How does this rum taste?
Prominent sherry notes lead the charge in this 52% Hampden, seamlessly woven with estery tropical fruits and a light nuttiness. RumX tasters highlight its round, fresh profile and deft sherry integration, especially appreciating the balance of fruit and wood. Some find the sherry influence dominant, but it's generally praised for accessibility and subtle power. Worth a sip for fans of complex, fruit-forward Jamaican rums with a sherry twist.

So now I've tasted all three Velier Hampden Pagos from 2022, 2023 and 2024 in parallel. The differences are then rather negligible and for me the conclusion is that they are all very sherry-heavy, some more and some less. Basically solid, but also interchangeable.
#5131 01.03.2025 tasting at Whiskymessen.dk 2025. Nose Light, round, light wood, fruits, light honey, light citrus, faint floral, light sherry, pineapple. Palate Round, fresh, light wood, light floral, fruits, cinnamon, light berries, sherry, light dried fruit, spice. Finish Medium long, fresh, light wood, dried fruit, light citrus, sherry, spice, light banana.
Balanced yet powerful, the typical Hampden aromas are well combined with the influences of the sherry casks. The combination of fruity, earthy and umami notes makes it a good, complex rum, but without lasting enthusiasm.
#4878 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, light nutts, light herbal, light sherry, fruits, pineapple, light dried fruit. Palate Round, fresh, light wood, light sherry, fruits, light pineapple, faint salt, dried fruit, faint nutts, faint coffee. Finish Medium to long, fresh, light wood, faint roasted, fruits, light nutts, cinnamon, light prunes. This is a really nice release and I love that the Olorosso cask hasn't taken over the profile. Well balanced and great ABV integration.
