„It’s a triple distilled pure pot stills HLCF rum which gives an ester level of 500-600. The finish is rather long and tastes about the same as on the palate. I think it’s the best of the three big white Overproof’s from Jamaica, it’s funky, potent, complex and powerful without being too pungent.“

„A rum that shows the full potential of an unaged Jamaican rum. The Jamaican funk oscillates between exotic fruits, floral aromas and phenolic notes, with a touch of iodine. On the palate, the rum is slightly spicier and saltier, while keeping the typical funky frame. There are also notes of pear and brine. The finish extends the taste experience with metallic and dry notes. A powerful and aromatic rum that would be wonderful in a supercharged cocktail.“

„What to say... A rum of this quality for this price is just incredible! All the markers of the hampden distillery are present here, this bottle has nothing to envy to bottles worth 2 or 3 times its price. A must for the Jamaican amateurs.“

„The expression of Hampden's esters in all its splendor.a feeling of overripe fruit brandy (Tropical / Red / Pear / Mirabelle) with a hint of lemon, all filled with very empyreumatic esters (Copper / Smoke / Rubber / Vinegar).the whole is spicy (Clove / Nutmeg / Pepper) and rather vegetable (Hay / Green / Olive). I also find a subtle and elegant note of "perfume".in short, a quality-price ratio that really defies any competition, if you like Hampden, it is a keel to have permanently in its bar.“

„This is a bottling you just have to know: Hampden power hidden behind a strange label, which now scjon stands for itself. As a Hampden fan, you should have tried the Fire in any case, he delivers puristic Hampden character, without the wood was allowed to have a say. Pure drinkable, it develops its full potential in drinks, especially the Daiquiri. For me, the undefeated number one for this, provides an incredibly drinkable overall result. Only pure it has to admit defeat to the Rivers and thus its strongest competitor!“

„Rum Fire is produced at the Hampden Estate distillery, established in 1753 in Treelawny, Jamaica. In Hampden tradition, the molasses undergoes a long fermentation with indigenous yeasts and with the addition of dunder (residual liquid from previous distillations). The still used is a copper Pot Still. The mark of this Rum is the HLCF which boasts an ester level above 400 g/hlpa. It should go without saying, but for the avoidance of doubt: no additives or sugars added. Prominent on the label are the blue and orange flames that recall an old Jamaican tradition of testing the strength of a distillate by setting it on fire. The flame that changes from blue to orange indicates a particularly high alcohol content. Crystal clear color, very clear and bright. The nose is super funky: esters, tropical fruit, molasses, acetone, light varnish, gasoline. Alcohol is well present but does not cover the aromatics. On the palate everything is confirmed, we find the ripe fruit (lots of fruit), acetone, spices. The finish is long and dry with a pleasant fruity, slightly smoky taste.“
