TCRL Hampden Jamaica HD #70 2012
"More easy sipper than funky fireworks" is how one member sums it up, and that's the read on this Hampden. Pineapple, orange and light banana lead, with creme brulee and a faint honey warmth behind them — the Jamaican signature is there but dialed way down. At 55.9% the alcohol sits well. A couple of tasters even caught a Barbados-like softness.
