Navy Island Hampden Select Cask First Edition C<>H 2007

For curious explorers into Jamaican funk, this unsweetened 10‑year Hampden (51.2%) brings clear esters, caramel and light acidity. RumX members find it smoother and less heavy than classic Hampden cask-strength bottlings.

The community says
  • Approachable funk
  • Well-integrated alcohol

Perfect for

Got this 5cl sample as a gift from RhumAttitude when ordering some other bottles. It’s a little like the 8yo releases from Hampden, but a little less heavy, esters rich and funky. It’s a blend from three different casks and is very smooth for a Jamaican pot still.

Here we have again a wonderfully fruity nose with lots of banana and cherry. Esters are very dominant here again. On the palate, it's artificial, exaggeratedly chemical, totally over the top. Everything is just too much here. In the finish, it turns dark with some artificial berry.

not quite my cup of tea, a little too sweet and artificial, but overall well integrated alcohol
