Weinhandlung Schollenberger Hampden Captain Hornblower White Jamaica Rum

Strawberry and raspberry lead here, with grilled pineapple and a light glue-and-ester twang from the Hampden pot still. At 57% it stays surprisingly easy to drink, and several tasters land on the same word: fruity. One even likens it to a good agricole. Naturally sweet without being dosed, it opens best after a short rest in the glass.

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Fruity, high-ester white Jamaican for mixing Loved as a fruity, high-ester white that punches above its weight — strawberry and raspberry up front, a Hampden funk twang, and it plays beautifully in a daiquiri or Mai Tai.

#5480 13.07.2025 Pre-dinner set with the guys and we decided for a set of unaged rums. Nose Bold, fruity, berries, light pineapple, spice, sweet, light ester. Palate Oily, fresh, fruity, light ester, naturally sweet, light citrus, spice, berries. Finish Medium to long, fresh, oily, fruity, spice, faint chocolate. Empty glass Chocolate, light caramel, strawberry, spice. Needs to rest for a bit to really open up. Surprisingly light on the nose considering the ester level. Price to quality is really good. Thanks goes out to Petter for getting hands on this sample.

Retasting. A bit special but nicely fruity and funky. In my opinion well suited for Daiquiris and for just 30 euros not overpriced. There is also a version aged 3 years for 35 euros. I like to use that as an affordable alternative in Mai Tai.

Super fruity and sweet. Foreground strawberries and raspberries. Then comes the grilled pineapple. Despite 57% and high esters, it is very easy to drink.
