    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.

    Tasted in cross tasting with RX344RX686RX1663For me place 4. From the ABV also clearly the weakest

    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.
