How does this rum taste?
Hampden Gold, a Jamaican rum distilled from molasses using a pot still, offers a distinctive estery aroma with notes of pineapple and banana. With an approachable 40% ABV, it presents a thin, fruity palate, marked by banana and hints of fruit schnapps. This rum has garnered praise for its versatility as a mixer, yet users note its light, quick finish. Ideal for cocktail enthusiasts, it offers good value for money. While its mild, fruity profile appeals to some, others find it lacking complexity or character for sipping neat. Still, its unique Jamaican funk provides an intriguing option for both new and seasoned rum enthusiasts.

Overall a rum with a rather typical Jamaican funky nose, but very soft and light at the palate that my son offered me a glass of. It’s probably a quite short aged golden colored rum produced by the Hampden Estate in Jamaica.
Only for mixing, to rough otherwise fory taste.
Very pleasant surprise: fairly quiet nose (by hampden standards) palate was mineralic, dry, clean and superb grapefruit, with touches of olive and salt to finish. Not rough at all. Distillate still delivers at 40%.
Nice entry level HampdenHas but little character. Relatively thin and short finish compared to its big brothers. Good PLV.
