Navy Island Hampden Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry Cask Finish (2022)
Here's the surprise: for a Hampden, the funk barely shows up. The PX sherry takes the wheel — sweet pineapple, raisin and a buttery, spicy sweetness, with light wood underneath. Several tasters found it a touch watered down at 46.7%, and a few felt the sherry buried the Jamaican character. One member called it "not a bad bottling" for the money, and that's about the size of it: pleasant, easygoing, not very deep.

Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Easy sherry-forward Hampden, a bit thin Divides people: an easy sherry-forward sipper some enjoy, but many find it thin and one-dimensional, with the PX overshadowing the Hampden character. Fine if you like the sherry-Jamaica combo.

Review by Alexander Rasch
Blind Verkostung: Jamaika war erst ziemlich klar. Das Sherry Finish hat mich aber doch unsicher gemacht. Am Gaumen war ich planlos unterwegs. Das er unter 50% hat war deutlich. Bin der Kombie Hampden mit Sherry Finish grad etwas überdrüssig daher hat es mir hier schnell gereicht. Bis dahin aber eine solide Abfüllung. Großer Dank für die Blind Sample Spende!
Review by DomM
In the nose I do like the sherry finish, which adds to the low ester hampden profile without overwhelming it. On the palate the PX is much more prominent adding quite some sweetness to the rum. Hampden + sherry is not my favorite thing in general. However, this is not a bad bottling comparatively. Accessible price and profile wise.
Review by JFehr
Mir zu viel Sherry und etwas langweilig
Review by Serge
Kurz gelagerte Jamaikaner mit Sherry Finish und ich werden wohl keine Freunde. Aber man muss ihm lassen, dass es da deutlich teureres gibt, was kaum besser schmeckt. Wer also über den niedrigen ABV hinwegsehen kann und auf sherry + 🇯🇲 steht, der könnte hier nen Schnapper machen. Meins ist es eher nicht so.
Review by Mentalo
Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist schon ok, wenn man Sherry-Noten mag. Die sind hier schon deutlich ausgeprägt, überlagern den Hampden aber auch nicht komplett. Am Ende ist mir das aber zu eindimensional. Man muss die Sherry-Hampden-Kombination schon mögen.
Review by zabo
A nice sipper for the price, but I think it's a little watered down. The sherry notes are already clearly recognizable and clearly push the base note into the background. Unfortunately, like all of Navy Island's so far, they can't knock my socks off.
Review by Jakob
A good blend with a sherry finish that leaves its mark without completely overshadowing the Jamaican character. Pleasantly drinkable with an interplay of heavy dry and fresh citrus fruit notes. Beautiful rum in the moderate price segment.
Review by Thunderbird
This is not my cup of tea at all, personally the sherry note is too dominant. Due to the dilution, the Hampden influence doesn't really come into its own either
Review by Leo Krüper
Für das Geld ok. Aber insgesamt sehr flach und eintönig.
