Review by TheRhumhoe
A fairly straightforward Hampden low ester, with tropical fruit, vanilla, a little wood and a pinch of medicinal touches on the esters on the nose. Pastry aromas add roundness to the nostrils. A relatively simple nose, but one that lacks the depth to make a real impression. The attack on the palate is initially lively, tense and biting on the esters, before softening on exotic fruits and the sweetness of marzipan. Citrus fruits add a touch of acidity. Regrettably, apart from the palate entry, the rum remains flat on the palate, without the slightest surprise. The alcohol could be better integrated. The finish is of decent length, with more floral and medicinal aromas. The funkiness comes out more, with the barrel adding tannins. A rum that clearly needs aeration to express itself, but whose finish alone cannot create ecstasy.

Review by Pavel Spacek
Smoky light hampden ... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
