How does this rum taste?
RumX users find this Hampden blend all about "grilled pineapple and ripe banana" (@daiquiri_lab), with a vibrant tropical fruit bouquet and creamy, almost buttery texture that stands out, especially when diluted. The esters and smoke are tamed by rounded vanilla, noticeable wood, and a touch of mint. While "very pleasant to surf down its dilution spectrum" (@daiquiri_lab), some call out its youth, with a few wishing for deeper maturity. Still, notes of marzipan, cherries, and umami keep things lively, and many agree it shines in mixed drinks. "Balanc[ed] on palate, like velvet, fruity, floral, tropical bomb," reflects Adrianv.

First of all, many thanks to adrianV for getting and sharing the bottle. Tasted it right after the 2014 Hampden Rumclub and my conclusion is that it tasted much better, even though it's a blend of different brands. Very cool bottling, unfortunately only available in the USA, otherwise I would go for it like a madman, definitely a hit in MaiTai.
After a few less exciting HV release, I like this one very much. Intense and diverse tropical fruit basket on the nose. The <>H component is in the driver seat here. On the palate also very nice. Balanced with tropical fruits and quite some wood despite the moderate age. LROK is dominating here. All in all a very nice blend. The dirfeent marks work very well together, adding complexity. Moderate age brings a vibrant expression yet with „enough“ notes from the cask to add maturity and complexity.
Solid Hampden with the expected ester and fruit notes, clean and typical. Fun in the glass, but offers no special surprises or unique selling points. A good, reliable representative, no more, but also no less.
Iam not Hampden expert to benchmark (yet), but I like this one a lot. Secured few bottles in NYC and tasted it at lical liquor store. This 2014 blend of LROK, <>H and LFCH is for US market only. Nose is accelerating to strong exotic fruits concert, some roasted bananas, smoke, mint and nice esters. Balances on palate, like velvet, fruity, floral, tropical bomb, lot of pineaple, nice finish, very good and also rare rum given it wont be available in Europe.. you can find it just few weeks after release on secondary market for double price...
