    How does this rum taste?

    • Vanille und gelbe Frucht
    • gut ausgewogen
    • Alkohol perfekt eingebunden

    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!"

    "Great Hampen. Lots of fruit, slightly astringent, vanilla, bananas...really great and I have to admit that I wasn't sure at first whether it would go my way. Should definitely be drunk standalone or with other fruit bombs, otherwise it can easily go under. Still fun even after 30 minutes in the glass. Great!!!"
