Famille Ricci Unique Blend No. 8 2025
Tropical fruit and red berries pile up in the glass like a bowl of jam — this Trinidad-Hampden blend is, as one taster put it, fruit, fruit and more fruit. Hampden esters, glue and marmalade sit up front; the oak stays in the back and honey rounds off the palate. At 63% it stays surprisingly drinkable, though a few found it a touch hot.
The community says- Huge fruit jam
- Clean ester funk
- But: Warm on the palate

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Fruity Trinidad-Hampden blend, easy at high proof Members land on the same verdict: an easy-drinking fruit bomb where the Hampden funk and light Trinidad marks marry cleanly. A couple wanted more surprise or found the proof warm.

#6959 24.06.2026 Had a hard 50 km test on the bike today and it went really well. Relaxing with some samples while watching "Moonshiners". Thank you for the samples Petter. Well priced and balanced rum in my mind. Medium intense rum with nice fruits, spice, nutts, mint, roasted wood and some tobacco.

Review by Jussi Piirainen
Last blend of the Unique Blend series is blend of Trinidad TML 2009 mark and Hampden Diamond H or C Diamond H 2014. On the nose: Hampden note all over. Esters, glue, nail polish, banana. Noticable marmelade note. Light woody notes and little bit of maybe marzipan notes. Taste:Esters, tropical fruits and pastry notes that arrive just on time to the palate. I get little bit of honey after that. Light woody notes. Light olive notes in the end. Balanced Finish:Warm. Woody, roasted, light esters. Nutty notes. Light cocoa notes. Dried fruits. Dry. Much more interesting blend than the nosing suggested. I am unfamiliar with the TML mark, but think it provided the little bit of the much needed variety on the taste and it came more forward on the finish.

Nun die letzten 4 Unique Blends von skyflys Ricci Split im Glas. Nr. 5, Nr. 6, Nr. 7 und Nr. 8. Auch hier kann man sagen sind alle nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht wirklich was bei mir einen Fomo auslöst. Teilweise auch etwas zu alkoholisch.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein wirklich netter Blend hier, hääte ich tatsächlich blind auch gesagt, da es hier kein hervorstechendes Merkmal gibt :) Ist dem von eben relativ ähnlich, hier hben wir nur etwas mehr Klebstoff und Nagellack.
Review by Skyfly
Famille Ricci Unique Blend X-Tasting #8: Auf diesen Rum hatte ich mich besonders gefreut und würde nicht enttäuscht, auch wenn es in der Reihe einen besseren gab. Viel tropische und rote Früchte, sowie Ester. Holz hält sich im Hintergrund. Im Gaumen sorgt Honig für die Süße
Review by TheJackDrop
Cuvée discovered at Spirits in the Sky where I worked for the Ricci Family, not an objective opinion :) TDL 2009 and Hampden H 2014, for a big jam of exotic and red fruits, obviously. As it happens, the two go together easily, and there are no surprises on the blend. Fruit, fruit, fruit. Finally, slightly camprenean, where the wood supports the fruit well. Easy-sipping, ultra-drinkable, perhaps a little straight for me.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Unique Blend 2025 n°8 – 63 % Assemblage : Hampden H 2014 + TDL 2009 (mark TML, profil light) Boum ! Voilà un blend comme je les aime : du fruit, du fruit et encore du fruit. Une vraie salade de fruits avec un kick parfait. Se boit tout seul, avec beaucoup de plaisir ! Un assemblage qui ravira les amateurs des 5 fruits et legumes/jour… version rhum 😄
Review by Stijn Zino
SITS 2025 A bit light but fun you can recognize both TDL and Hampden.
