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
  • But: Slight artificial vibe

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.

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

Nice C<>H that doesn't overwhelm. The low %% makes it suitable for Hampden beginners, who would otherwise be put off by the high cask strengths. Delicious sipper with a slightly sour note in the finish.
