The Whisky Jury Hampden The Many Faces of Rum 2016
For curious explorers of Jamaican-style funk, this cask-strength Hampden pick is lighter and less intense than usual. Think gentle fruit, light wood, faint smoke and spice. Best neat with a splash or in bold cocktails. With 18 RumX reviews, it’s seen as a decent but not standout Hampden, interesting mainly for its slightly dirty twist and good price-performance for some drinkers.
- Cask-strength character
- Gentle fruity notes
- Good value for some

Review by zabo
Tasted together with the Franconian Tasting Gang. Unfortunately once again one of the poorer bottlings from The Whisky Jury. Nothing that leaves a lasting impression. It's okay as a mixer, but not really a top candidate either.
Review by Johannes
Amazingly bad Hampden. Bitter with off-notes.
Review by Buddudharma
Didn't convince me.
Review by Jarek
Franconian Tasting Gang - 23.11.2024: The evening was a bit advanced, so no proper tasting note created. However, I was very glad that I held back on the bottle. The profile didn't appeal to me at all. There was also a subliminal note of vomit on the nose. But perhaps I should give the rum another chance at a better time.
