    "This Jamaican is a pleasant representative of its distillery. A teopic fruit basket spreads out on the palate without becoming particularly astringent. The rum becomes somewhat creamy and sweet towards the finish. Thank you @a.migos"

    "An original Hampden which leaves the classic profile of the distillery. It is not bad far from there. The finish is very pleasant."

    "It's a beautiful scent. I'd say it's got more esters than HLCF. Very harmonious tropical fruit notes. Literally a perfume. The color indicates that the rum hasn't been aged much in the barrel, but that's okay. Flavor-wise, you can tell this isn't an ester-laden piece, but I don't have a problem with that either."
