Review by Thomas
Finde den eigentlich sehr gelungen. All die selbsternannten Nerds hier mit den 70er Bewertungen sollten die Bewertungslatte nicht immer auf Hampdenebene hieven. Preislich interessant mit schönem Abgang und viel Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Review by Michal S
Dřevo, kůže, ovoce, celkově nic pro mě.
Review by Oliver
Dark, spicy and creamy. The finish gives the Hampden depth and is reminiscent of a Pagos. The alcohol is not ideally integrated, therefore slight deductions. Otherwise exciting bottling!
Review by Frank
Sweetish, woody... shortly at the end - totally weird - do I have a hint of onion?!
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Quite interesting scent, hints of vanilla and dried fruit. In mouth it's sherry, vanilla, oak, brandy, a bit of sweetness and marzipan. A quite long finish with a taste of oak, vanilla and caramel. Good rum for the low age.
Review by Joël
Smells like an old damp cellar to me on the nose, not my cup of tea. In the finish, a taste emerges that I unfortunately can't identify, but doesn't suit me at all. However, I now like it better than the first time I drank it.
Review by Lot-NAS
Adding water helps a lot to add some depth on the palate and push back the slightly off putting foul notes in the nose.
