    How does this rum taste?

    This limited 2013 Jamaican Hampden rum, bottled by Swell de Spirits, delivers a bold sensory journey. Our RumX community notes its tropical fruit and estery aroma melds with hints of glue, pineapple, and subtle fermentation. On the palate, distinct esters, roasted wood, and a spicy, fermented fruit profile create an engaging complexity. Although some find its alcohol integration challenging, many appreciate its evolving character with a few drops of water. The rum’s cask strength offers a robust experience that showcases the island’s unique character, making it a conversation starter among fine drink enthusiasts who value authenticity and nuance.

    Dégustation d'un sample en 2x2.5cl. 👃 Toutes sortes de déclinaisons autour de l'ananas qui évoluent en continue durant la dégustation (confit, glaçage, rôti, fermenté, pourri). Beaucoup de colle et de vernis, de très beaux esters. Avec l'aération, des épices subtiles, le gras du beurre dans la casserole et la gousse de vanille fraîche. J'ai aussi du jack fruit bien mûr à la fin du verre. Très joli nez. 😋 Toujours ces ananas rôtis, bien sucrés et surmûris. Belle acidité sucrée. En rétro-olfaction, l'astringence de la carambole pas assez mûre cette fois-ci. Les fruits sont fumés en fin de bouche, un peu d'essence de fraises trop mûres aussi. Les esters sont bien présents et accompagnent les fruits, tout comme la colle. Très bonne intégration de l'alcool. ⛳ Chaude, épicée, vive, intense. Des petits cubes d'ananas confits et recouverts de sucre glace pétillent dans le palais. Légère amertume sur les cerises aigres, un peu de sucré/salé, type umami. La finale s'estompe trop rapidement à mon avis. Un beau représentant du millésime 2013 mark <>H 👌

    Great, elegant Hampden <>H, which gets better and more complex with a little time in the air (and a few drops of water). Not quite enough for the top class, the finish is not long enough for that. I also think the price is pretty ambitious when you can get something as great as the <>H from the bottleshop for (calculated at 0.7L) €40 less. Thanks to @RumTaTa for the sample!

    On connaît la qualité de swell sur cette provenance. Cet embouteillage confirme leur pâtés à part entière sur les Hampden. Bien que décrillé sur le manque d’intégration de l’alcool (font je partage pas l’avis) je trouve que ce rhum a tout les marqueurs plaisant d’un jam reussis

    Sehr schöner 2013er HD. Bringt relativ viel Fasseinfluss mit, was dafür sorgt, dass der Rum insgesamt etwas runder wirkt als einige andere junge <>H. An der Nase neben Lösungsmittel, estery Ananas und uberreifen Früchten eben auch einiges an Gewürzen und Marzipan. Cremiges Mundgefühl mit überwiegend tropischen Früchten und Vanille. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Gefällt mir in Summe sehr gut!!
