    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Hampden for its bold funky esters and overripe tropical fruit, remarkably drinkable at 60% ABV. Expect banana, vanilla and a touch of solvent on the nose, with woody spice and intensity on the palate and a long, satisfying finish. Enjoyed neat with a few drops of water, and outstanding in Mai Tais. A bestselling favorite with 337 community reviews and praised for excellent value.

    It’s fantastic that it’s possible to buy a rum like this, matching the Veliers, to this quite low price. The nose is complex and full of aromas of esters, fruits and wood. At the palate it’s heavy, complex and funky with flavors full of esters and spices. The finish is long, elegant and subtle.

    A really good Jamaican style rum with a real punch. I'd say most may need a few drops of water to make it a lot more digestible. Rest for 15-20 minutes for all flavours to be released. Has more bang for your buck than the 92 proof version.

    Nice rum! Very pronounced toastiness! It drinks very well!

    This is my reference at 83 points. I know it’s a strange number to have as a reference, but still its a great rum and it keeps the rest of the rums in check and have plenty to spare in the 80s and 90s above it. I use it to kind of reset my values for my other rums, but still my daily form fluctuate. - Had to go back to my reference and it’s a good practice… - Now with the new HLCF being so different I think I need to stock up with this good oldie - Yup, got me a couple more Bottles just to keep. - Strange, now compared the last of my old bottle to a recently opened one and the old has more rubber notes and the newly opened one is closer to the new HLCF Classic. - Some months since last time now and this time around A/B tested with a friends bottle and there is definitely differenceses between them. - Almost a year since last time above and it definitely has its place as a reference. However the difference between the bottles makes this less clear. I really like the Asphalt tone in the original bottle.
