Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a rum that I think people will agree to disagree about. None the less a pretty good one in my mind. The nose is nicely fruity with vanilla and esters, in the back i find some polish. The palate is true to the nose with fruits and esters. The palate is warm and dry but still well balanced. The finish is long and lightly dry with papaya and roasted barrel.
Review by Christoph H.
Short prefazit: Very pleasant.Quickly you realize what you're dealing with here. Compared to other Hampden, because this part is clearly the more dominant in the nose, it is neither too soft-purged nor too crass or too exhausting. It is very fruity, with banana and melon very dominant here. But very intense vanilla aromas also dominate the nose, which is a very pleasant interplay. In the mouth it lacks a bit of power and he seems a bit thinAll in all, however, ne very tasty and successful thing, especially if you have the then EK in mind
Review by Double Barrel
Great Quality/Price ratio. If the Long Pond involved here was like the Plantation 2000 MBK 51,6% then i understand the need to blend it as the bitterness of the wood can be a bit annoying but the fruitiness is just incredible.
Review by Mentalo
A blend of Hampden and Long Pond. On the nose, the Hampden component clearly prevails. The palate is a different story, with the Long Pond surprisingly gaining the upper hand. The alcohol is very well integrated. Pleasant, slightly oily mouthfeel. The issue price is of course a dream from today's perspective.
Review by Buddudharma
Nice, relaxed Jamaican blend with sufficient funk. The issue price is hardly comprehensible today...
Review by Adrian Wahl
Finally times in the glass the thing. Thanks Dennis 🥰. Find the LP a bit more present. At that time outstanding PLV.
Review by Gregor
Long roasty flavor. Have also drunk better from the island but also worse. In the taste really surprisingly little fruit.the nose has promised more.
Review by Speedflo
Very tasty and balanced. Nice Sunday evening rum. From my point of view, the blend would have tolerated a par % more very well. Long Pond and Hampden very well recognizable.
Review by DeMaddin
Hampden schüttelt Long Pond die Hand. Sehr schöner Blend, Sehr schöner Blend aus beiden Welten, wobei für mich Hanpden die dominierende Rolle einnimmt.
