"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."
"Try and mix this one with pineapple juice yuuuuum."
"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"
"Only for mixing, to rough otherwise fory taste."
