Swell de Spirits Hampden Anniversary Cuvée #2 <>H 2014

Highly praised high-ester Hampden: intense nose, tropical fruit-forward palate and long, warm finish. Seen as a solid, rounded 2014 <>H that still feels very typically Hampden.

    How does this rum taste?

    Expressive, classic high-ester Hampden
    Who is this rum for?

    If you already enjoy 2014 Hampden <>H releases, this is a confident buy: same loud esters and tropical fruit, just a bit rounder and easier than some of its peers.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or sour/acidic notes, and drinkers looking for ultra-complex, layered Hampden or an obviously distinctive TDL finish.

    What the hell is that color? Like liquid gold stretched with gunpowder. So the color is really very interesting! The taste is also interesting. Typical Jamaica with some dirty influences.

    Auto-translated

    A cuvée that leaves me perplexed: it starts with the color. The rum has a blackish tinge (my photo is not good). Strongly alcoholic on the nose, some tropical fruits and esters. All of this continues in the taste. However, there is also a distinct off-note reminiscent of gasoline, diesel, or heating oil (and not in a positive sense). For me, this is an absolute failure of a product.

    Auto-translated

    Yes, you can really recognize the nose from miles away. There are lots and lots of esters and glue here, as well as plenty of tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana. Just waiting for the Caroni to arrive :)

    Auto-translated

    Unfortunately, it's not particularly complex for me. Very ester-heavy and tropical fruits, that's it. Unfortunately, it also has a very sour taste and finish. Fortunately, this goes away with a little water. I don't need a bottle of it.
