Review by BTHHo 🥃
In the glass, the rum has a golden color and a delicate aroma of mango, banana, pepper and varnish. The taste offers notes of pineapple, orange peel and cloves. I LOVE IT 😁
Review by Timo Groeger
Um yes, a good Hampden, I love Hampden. A nice fruity note on the nose and palate. And that's about it. Very tasty in any case, the alcohol is well integrated, really very tasty. Top rum.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Yes, finally another very tasty Hampden Velier. I think it's really very good for the price. Tastes slightly fruity, a bit like ester. Alcohol well integrated. I can recommend it at any time.
Review by Basti
In direct comparison with the CDI LROK (RX2382), The Younger has more glue, varnish, esters and olive. Fruity notes are also present, but not as prominent as in the CDI. The CDI is rounder overall, the Younger has more funk.
Review by primus
Opening the pack is an event in itself. Exactly what I like about rum, the pipette and the large vat ensure that you take your time and drinking rum becomes a ceremony. Nose classic Hampden funk, surprisingly smoky in taste. Mouth!
Review by Oliver
Made top notch espresso martinis and Kingston Negronis at my wedding. 🥳🍸
