Review by Jack M
Great quality blend of young rums. Lots of tasting notes which are easy to pick out. Plenty of funky fruitiness on the nose (coconut, pineapple, banana) which feels dominated by the Hampden. On the palate the Foursquare comes through to balance the Hampden. I get coconut, funky, creamy, pepper, vanilla, crème brûlée and banana. Medium to long finish of vanilla, spice, banana and sweetness.
Review by Agricoler
Also highly recommended neat for the price - an absolute cracker. Really nice banana and green fruit on the nose. Top mixer that I always have a bottle of at home. The best in white from Jamaica and Barbados combined.
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 MarcT
Cocktails, a boardgame, friends. I took the liberty to review this old gem of mine, used mostly in Tiki Drinks. It does shine there, makes a good Daiquiri and is shippable on its own. Granted: at first it was not as good as now, but usually oxidation helps in such cases and I find this fresh and delicious. The Hampden Part is very noticeable, the Alkohol not overpowering and the taste very fruity. Update: it is empty now, sadness ensues. After being open so long the rum got very much different than at the beginning: smoother, sweeter, more fruit. It seems counter intuitive that i would reduce its score, but I must add that I am adjusting it only to fit my current experiences... As this was one of the very first Rums i reviewed here.

Mě to spíš připomíná pálenku...bohužel to není můj šálek kávy. Nejspíše ho použiji do nějakého koktejlu.

08.12.2018 Had a wonderful meet up with old and new friends at this wonderful hotel. Notes. Light in colour. Nose: Intense, pineapple, fruitcake, spice, ester. Palate: fresh, ester, fruity, pineapple, light coconut, caramel. Finish: medium long, dry, warm, fruity.
Review by Fasen
For the price of this bottle, we have a very interesting and well-executed juice: Hampden dominates, but Foursquare is there to bring us the distillery's classic notes in the background.the fruits of both juices are perceptible ( Coconut / Banana / Pineapple ) with a hint of citrus ( Orange / Lemon ). Hampden reveals its smokiness (light) and its oily texture with spices (nutmeg / cinnamon / clove / vanilla), and like a white Jam, it's quite coppery but with a certain greediness (crème brûlée / brioche / honey).Light esters are present, as is a hint of olive in brine.on the finish, the whole becomes more vegetal and fresh, so you really don't get the impression of a white wine, and the palate as such can make you think of a slightly aged juice.
Review by Gregor
Great distillate. Lots of green banana and ester and at the same time spicy tones and that despite the short storage. The 47 goes quite well with this rum. A clear drinking recommendation from me. The taste is quite lengthy.
Review by cigares
A very light, almost white rum. The nose is marked by Jamaica, very ripe banana esters and a touch of glue. The palate is balanced and the Foursquare brings a little sweetness. The finish is not so short, and funky, fruity aromas linger long enough. A fine rum that lacks complexity, but given the price it's incredibly good.
Review by Godspeed
To me this is the best inexpensive english style white rum blend on the market. Foursquare column still and Hampden pot still (both low age obviously) makes for a great expression. Also it avoids the glueyness that sometimes plagues low aged jamaicans. My go-to white rum in the english style.
Review by Christoph
Nose and taste are clearly different. On the nose rather fresh, overripe red fruit and orange peel. Then in the mouth ginger, vanilla, unexpectedly sweet, some coconut. In the finish then also young wood and white chocolate.
Review by F.L.O.
Wohl der Weltbeste dauqiri Mixer in dieser preisrange, den man problemlos jedem auftischen kann (Nerd wie Anfänger). Und vor allem immer verfügbar. Es braucht kein Single cask und auch keine Fassstärke für nen geilen daiquiri. Veritas does it ! Die 8 Punkte gibt es nur bezogen auf den Mixer. Zum pur trinken brauch ich den nicht…da isser ne 5 oder 6.
Review by Chrischi78
A wonderful component for a Ron Collins and certainly also for everything else that needs a good white rum, it can be made in very good quality. Funky and with tasty citrus notes, it is also perfectly suitable neat. Cheers
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
The first impression is dominated by the fruity ester aromas. And you expect a certain Jamaican dominance, but then you have mainly Foursquare in the mouth: vanilla, toffee, chocolate, the soft fruit of ripe pears. The Jamaican ester notes remain excellently integrated bring that extra oomph and complexity over the pure white Foursquare rums. In a daiquiri, it makes just as fantastic an impression as neat. A great rum.
Review by Tim
Tasted at the GRF23 at the Velier tasting. Interesting blend from Jamaica and Barbados. The nose is dominated by Jamaica (esters, fruit), while the Barbados component (caramel, coconut) seems to come through in the mouth.
