    Nice rum although the overproof remains clearly the best.

    Wonderful rum to dive into the world of Hampden. Due to the reduction a real easy sipper.

    Thinking about the cost this is a very good rum. Fruity and funky from the nose to the finish. I really like the clove that comes in the finish.

    Typical Jamaican, both in smell and taste. Varnish, esters, very ripe fruit on the nose. no big surprise on the palate, except for its freshness. short finish, but it's a young rum, so not surprising in my opinion. Nice to start a Hampden line-up. Edit 05/02/2022: every time I come back to it, I tell myself that this first batch of Younger is a real success. I haven't had the opportunity to taste anything this good for the same price in all of 2021. Gosh, it's a good way to start a little tasting. Edit 09/2023: tasted again and sensations confirmed
