Review by Caroni.Martin
Great piece! Alcohol very well integrated, classic Hampden profile with some oriental spices.
Review by DomM
In the nose clearly <>H. Funky with solvent notes. Grilled pineapple and tropical fruits. Overall more on the roasted side of things than fruity.
Review by zabo
Schöner kräftiger funky Hampden mit ein paar Ecken und Kanten. Mein erster 2016 <>H. Gefällt mir ganz gut, aber wie üblich finde ich den Preis von Rest & Be Thankful ein bißchen fragwürdig. Mir wäre es nicht wert da eine Flasche zu kaufen
Review by TheJackDrop
Tasted at whisky live Paris: quick tasting notes. Nose: a true classic hampden Mouth: some extra spice Finish: warm but not spicy A good time at the stand! On the other hand, I understand that this is 2x the price of a classic Hampden... ouch ouch ouch. Info to be verified.

#4875 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Medium intense, light wood, fresh, light vegetal, light floral, spice, ester, faint peat, fruits, light banana. Palate Warm, fresh, ester, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light pineapple, light citrus, faint peat, medium spicy. Finish Long and warm, light wood, faint smoke, light peat, fruits, light citrus, faint chocolate. I had expected this to be the best one, but I got a bit disappointed. Not a bad rum at all, but one of my favourite marks from Jamaica.

Schöner Hampden, etwas mineralischer als die 2014er.
Review by Serge
Netter <>H … ich hatte glaube ich noch keinen 2016. Ist etwas mineralischer mit mehr estrigem Bitzeln auf der Zunge ls Frucht.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that produces rum as well as alcohol for perfume. In all the rums from this distillery you will taste wild esters, after which your whole organism will soak up the smell of golden tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the "must try before you die" rums
