How does this rum taste?
Fruity esters, overripe banana, green apple, and a touch of vanilla sit at the heart of this Hampden Jamaica rum. Members point out its "überraschend dezente Ester in der Nase" (@Master P) and balanced palate, where "Früchtekorb mit Klebstoffsoße" (@SaibotZtar) stands out. Consensus marks a round, oily mouthfeel and warmth, with wood and light floral undertones. It opens up nicely with time and maintains the signature Hampden punch, though can feel a touch thin or unruly for some.

Sehr geiler vielschichtiger Hampden. In der Nase sehr fruchtig, fast überreif, etwas vergoren und leichte Vanille. Im Gaumen wieder überreif, dafür jetzt mit Holz- und Röstaromen. Dezente Noten von Vanille und Ester. Im Abgang wieder sehr rund. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden!
Hampden typisch Fruchtig und Esterreiche Nase ... Ananas , Banane , reifer Pfirsich und grüner Apfel gesellen sich zu einer Portion Uhu . Alkohol perfekt eingebunden jedenfalls in der Nase. Am Gaumen Leicht ölig.... Früchtekorb mit Klebstoffsoße 🤣🤣 reife Ananas 'Papaya Pfirsich 😲 gut ausgewogen. Alkohol präsent aber nicht störend oder gar beißend. Schöner langer Abgang ohne zu bitter zu werden was ich oft bei HD nicht so geil finde. Guter Stoff
8,4:On the nose, esters and glue, nail polish, fermented overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, citrus fruits, some briny olive and roasted wood notes like caramel, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is herbaceous and flowery, red fruits and apricots join the play, the wood is spicy, nutty, brings confectionery. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fruity, a bit astringent with overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple and citrus, red fruits, some raisins, apples, medicinal with strong esters, oily and round, as the wood is roasted, slightly smoky and spicy with a hint of white chocolate, crunchy bread, caramelized biscuits, vanilla, pairing briny olive, flowery molasses. 8,2:The finish is long, dry, with strong oak, so quite furry, still medicinal with esters, as the molasses is grassy, fruits green with apple and tropical with guava, the wood roasted,smoky and spicy..
