"A nice change from the usual Hampdens" is how one member put it — this OWH mark reads softer than the estate's ester bombs. Expect nail polish and glue on the nose, then banana, pineapple and mango on the palate, with minty and woody edges. At 61.8% the alcohol is mostly well integrated, though a few tasters felt it needs more time to settle.
The community says- Tropical fruit funk
- Long spicy finish
- Keep in mind: Alcohol not fully integrated

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Milder Hampden funk, banana and glue Most people liked this milder Hampden: funky glue-and-tropical-fruit character with a long spicy-fruity finish. The catch a couple raised is the alcohol not being fully integrated yet.

... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery, you can smell wild esters, after which your whole body soaks up the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".
Review by Agricoler
Day 13 Sample de Luxe calendar. My first OWH and quite honestly this is a nice change from the other delicious Hampdens. Very nice balance between fruit and spices.
Review by Roman Lelek
The color is like honey between yellow and brown. The nose is mix of funky tones of nail polish and tropical fruit. The taste palette - at first a blast of glue, then minty tones, wood and fruit I really like the integrated alcohol- despite of having 62%, it’s still manageable - you will feel it, but it doesn’t hurt.
Review by Alessandro
I purchased it with the belief that I would find a less mighty rum than the usual Hampden, and I did. This OWH did not give me much satisfactionim poorly integrated alcohol and classic Hampden taste but less intense
Review by martin slezák
Blind tasting Colour something between dark yellow and amber Aroma mint, thinner, deglazer, overripe banana Taste tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, ripe banana penicillin, cleaner Long finish spicy and fruity ABV around 55% Jamaica I guess long pond I'm enjoying this
Review by Romain de L
Honestly very much liked it. Nice nose - complex, a bit funky / spicy / woody. Strong attack, perhaps a tad too much alcohol - but manageable. Aromas of leather, girofle, spice, fruit. Long agreeable finish
Review by Filip Šikula
The aroma on me rather less pronounced, a little mint and glue. On the palate there is a nice roll out of fruit and a tangy spiciness. The alcohol is nicely integrated, the finish is warm, but I personally malm with the price to performance ratio with this series.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2012. With 8.0 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Alcohol not well integrated, still needs to wait.
