"This is an exceptional rum from Jamaica. Pretty different from what you would expect from a Jamaican. This rum doesn't get the credit it's worth and I think Jamaica rum lovers should give it a go. Price to quality is extremely good. "

"A really good Jamaican style rum with a real punch. I'd say most may need a few drops of water to make it a lot more digestible. Rest for 15-20 minutes for all flavours to be released. Has more bang for your buck than the 92 proof version."

"The perfect TECA. Glue, acidity, citrus, varnish and yet a heavy sweetness. Extreme yet balanced. A true firework of aromas. Quite great cinema! 🧪💣"

"#10th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: delicious, pineapple, ester, fruitbasket, glue Mouth: Pineapple, ester, barrel, oak Finish: long, pineapple, barrel, oak, dry, a bit astringent Amazing delicious High Ester Hampden 😍 Funk Extreme! A lot of fruits in the nose, the more time you’ll give it the more fruits you’ll get. Important: This rum needs time to fully open min. 1 hour. I think it’s a hampden… in the high ester section <>H ca.60% approx. 30 Years"

"Considering the price tag at release this is a very nice rum. From opening the bottle you get the ester and fruits and once rested the flavours just sneak across the table. Intense, fruity with nice ester and glue notes, light wood with spices. In the empty glass i can pick up faint chocolate notes. Oily on the palate and it draws really nice curtains in the glass."

"RumX Advent Calendar 23.12.21: mmmh Hampden😋 really cool. Everything in it what it needs.Edit: awesome Rum🇯🇲 lots of cherry, cooked banana, brioche, salty water pickled olives, brioche. Very much great to discover. Even though the alcohol is well integrated, I need some water here. Exposes some flavors and makes the drinking experience more accessible."

Top review from Adrian Wahl:

"Three years ago I celebrated him still as a revelation in May Tai and now he gets only 76 😂. In view of the price but in my eyes a must have for the house bar, especially if you still do not have too many Jamaicans at home. Meanwhile in May Tai on my scale also only 2/5 🇯🇲.After tasting again I take away another three points. 73/100"
