How does this rum taste?
The Trelawny Endemic Birds (Yellow Shouldered Grossquit) OWH is a distinctive Jamaican rum distilled at Hampden in 2012, aged for 8 years, and bottled by Velier. With only 250 bottles released, this limited-edition rum offers tropical fruit and citrus aromas, complemented by flavors of banana and mango, along with a notable alcoholic warmth. Despite its high ABV of 60%, the rum is well-integrated but described as lacking in complexity by some. Users note a unique profile different from traditional Hampden rums, exhibiting a bitter and astringent character. Ideal as a collector's item, it provides a memorable, if divisive, tasting experience.

More on the bitter, astringent side.
A very nice interpretation of a Hampden, I would have loved a bit more kick to it. Fruity as expected with some vanilla and wood on the palate. The ABV makes it nice and warm but something is missing. In my mind it has been tamed too much.
The rum was opened for ages, it could degrade the taste of the rum ... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
This series is more shelf stable than top rums for me, but it's still a very enjoyable Jamaica. Citrus notes masked by that odd bitterness for me. The high ABV is beautifully integrated, but it's missing something.
