    Hogobomb! Love this rum, always have a spare. An allrounder, great in a mix, cocktail or as a sipper

    Immer noch ein toller Unaged Hampden. Bleibe begeistert. Auch in der Direktverkostung gegen den 18 monate älteren Bruder.

    Toller unaged aus dem Hause Hampden. Schöner Fruchtkorb, alle typischen Hampdenaromen sind da. Man erkennt, wie viel Potential in den Abfüllungen dieser Distillerie steckt.

    Gros blend jamaïcain dopés aux esters et fruits mûrs. Et malgré l'alcool, ça passe bien. C'est funky à souhait. Beaucoup aimé.
