For curious explorers ready for Jamaican funk in a festival twist. This 58.9% unsweetened Caribbean blend delivers tropical fruits, light esters, marzipan and butterscotch with a dry, slightly tannic finish. Great neat or with a splash of water, widely praised as a characterful yet accessible Hampden‑forward sipper.
- Tropical fruit esters
- Dry, long finish

Fruity, dry Hampden‑light festival blend For curious explorers ready for Jamaican funk in a festival twist.

Review by Johnny Rumcask
Typische Hampden Noten: gelbe und tropische Früchte, gegrillte Ananas. Schöne Ester. Der Rum wirkt in sich sehr harmonisch, was doch auch mit Blick auf das vergleichsweise junge Alter überrascht. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden.
Review by alex
Une grosse impression de boire un armagnac , J’ai même relu l’étiquette pour être sûr 😂 C’est pas mal fait, ça se laisse boire, mais c’est pas le meilleur blend que j’ai bu Assez agréable en bouche, la longueur est moyenne. L’alcool est très bien intégré.
Review by mto75
High Ester blend Jamaica, Barbados, Belize, mind. 6 Jahre tropisch…an der Nase vergorene und kandierte, tropische Früchte. Belize eher im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen dann mehr auf der würzigen Seite, im Abgang eine Nougat-Süsse. Ich finde den blend gut gelungen, zumal er echt fair bepreist war (für die Festival-Teilnehmer).
Review by Basti
Holt mich an der Nase nicht wirklich ab. Wirkt unausgewogen und mir fällt es schwer einzelne Notes rauszupicken. Am Gaumen etwas Lösungsmittel und Marzipan, aber leider auch etwas zu bitter und nichtssagend. Haut mich nicht vom Hocker.
Review by Master P
Nase kommt ziemlich viel süße mit leicht gerösteten mandel aroma und gelbe früchte. Geschmack ist eher eindimensional, süß, karamellbonbon und etwas frucht. Abgang ist ok aber nicht besonderes. Wenn man auf tour geht kann man schon ein paar davon trinken 😅
Review by kondgab
You can instantly recognize Hampden from the nose. Alcohol is well integrated. Ester, yellow fruits and tropical fruits. Also butterscotch in the finish.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Holt mich nicht ab. Sehr bissig und ich hab Erinnerungen an Whisky
Review by Thunderbird
A Caribbean blend that is rather on the mild side, more yellow fruits, maybe papaya...at least on the nose and palate. I only perceive esters fleetingly. On the palate, the fruit also recedes significantly ... in the finish, the spice predominates and a little bitterness at the very end. This bottling doesn't quite convince me
