#4774 10.07.2024 Sampling a bit at home. Nose Light wood, fruity, banana, overripe, faint caramel, light nutts, spice, ester. Palate Oily, warm, round, light wood, fruity, light nutts, light caramel, faint chocolate, faint floral, banana, ester. Finish Medium long, light wood, light caramel, faint citrus, ester, light banana. The empty glass has light herbs and sweet toffee. Needs to rest for a good while to settle properly. I'd prefer this rum in a mixer and that's going to be my next experiment.

Very thin, not really meaningful in terms of taste. I can't taste Hampden, rather Worthy Park or Monymusk.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.
