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.

23-05-2025 - Rate 8.8 31-07-2025 - Rate 8.3 First time tasting was at Whisky Watchers tasting in Vamdrup. Was more found of it at the first tasting. Perhaps the line up had something to do with it. Second time around, still a great rum. Classic Hampden nose. Fruits, banana & methanol. Fine ABV. could use a higher mark, but still one of the better LROK’s I have tasted

Rum calendar 2025, the smell suggests that the rum tastes bad. The rest of the tasting went down the drain.

8.4/10

Overall a good Hampden. However, it is more of an easy sipper than a funky firework. You can clearly smell and taste the typical tropical fruits. As a special note, I keep getting typical Barbados associations in mind. Price-performance ratio is very good.
