How does this rum taste?
- Tropical fruit aroma
- Balances funk and smoothness
- Great for daily sipping
Pure Single Jamaican Rum OWH, hailing from the Hampden distillery, captivates with its rich layers of tropical fruit and lighter ester notes. Distilled using pot stills and aged for 8 years, it offers a well-rounded taste profile dominated by woody, banana, and spicy tones. Appreciated for its balance and apparent kinship with Scotch, the rum is praised for maintaining classic Jamaican funk without overwhelming sweetness. Many users find it a staple for its approachable complexity and daily sipping quality, although some feel it lacks the depth of younger Hampden iterations and that the woody notes can overshadow the fruit. Despite mixed opinions on its suitability as a standalone rum or in cocktails, it remains a well-regarded entry into the world of Jamaican rums.

"Edit Edit: batch #1 is better than batch #2 Edit: it's also really good as a mixer. Simply a classic. Good price/performance ratio. Works wonderfully to enhance both cocktails and long drinks. For me, it's the best entry-level Hampden and always will be. That's why I had to upgrade it again."

"In direct comparison to the predecessor RX11:nose less fruity, reminiscent of Scotch.Also in the taste I am surprised by the similarity to Scotch, I have not noticed so strongly before.It seems to me as if the rum would lose with increasing air contact in the opened bottle at fruity. With freshly opened bottle he has pleased me still a little better."

"Great mix and sipping rum. Typical Hanpdenaromatik, which is not too demanding, however, and is thus certainly also suitable for beginners"

"Mild HD for advanced users that reaches a little less level in terms of esters than the Great House Editions."
