Review by Pavel Spacek
... 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"
Review by Christoph H.
Ein ziemliches Brett! Sehr fruchtige Nase, wirkt noch sehr jung und frisch. Das gefällt mir sehr gut, macht ihn aber auch etwas einseitig. Erdige Aromen, Würzigkeit und das Fass sind sehr hintergründig wahrnehmbar. Neben grünem Apfel, tropischen Früchten und Zitrusmarmelade, sind da noch sehr viel Lösungsmittel und Säure, aber auch Süße wie Marzipan und Melasse. Im Mund überwiegt auch hier deutlich die Frucht, sehr intensiv, kräftig, Cremig jedoch nicht ganz so mundfüllend als andere Vertreter...da fehlt irgendwie etwas....Der Abgang ist lediglich mittellang und etwas enttäuschend
