    "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."

    "Tasted this in March 2021, and to me this likely goes better as a mixer, than drinking neat. Estery and spicy in the nose, and taste-notes of tropical fruits, which disappears fast and with very little lingering flavor"
