    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Hampden for its explosive tropical fruit and high-ester funk. Expect pineapple and banana over solventy esters on the nose, with tropicals, a hint of young wood and a funky finish at 62% cask strength. Many say it improves after a rest or a splash of water. While some note youthful edges and a touch of alcohol bite, it’s a popular RumX choice with 150+ reviews.

    Day 1 Samples de Luxe calendar. Tasted again a year and a half later. Pale yellow color. On the nose, banana compote, Jamaican funk, rum raisins and a vegetal, dried herb side. On the palate, a fairly lively attack with alcohol and tropical fruit. Nice aromas, but rather one-dimensional, like a fruit spirit. Long finish, a little more interesting than the palate. Very well-integrated wood. A very fine rum. To be tasted again after a little oxidation. It's done, and the oxidation gives this rum a beautiful harmony.

    Funky Hampden 🎉 Maybe a little young but nevertheless quite nice and round given ester content and ABV. As a secret contender in a 2013/14 cross tasting the HV came out pretty well, but not in the top spot. While we are looking at different vintages of course, the HV was noticeable more balanced and less funk forwards/punchy.

    Certainly not the best HV release, but compared to many recent releases, this is already a good rum. I adjust my rating upward by one point.

    The fruits here are more of the sour variety (lime, pineapple). Despite the quite high ester content very mild and soft.
