Hampden Estate 8-Year

Ma première découverte d'un rhum jamaicain une vrai belle découverte.

today added this bottle in my bar,
yes it s a little bit strange rum, cant compare to any other, i feel smokiness,
a fruits symphony, apricot, croissant, bubble gum, vanilla, spicy, dry, but hey it s so good,
have a pleasant finish too, its not cheap here so no mixer, it s a sipper, very complex,
reminds me to some good single malt, 46% ABV and 100% pot still !
here on this site of course people gave bad ratings, most of them they are devoted to so called premium rum that are sugar syrups full of additives and they don t know those product are adulterated with additives ! this Hampden is a real spirit for connoisseurs ! no matter what
spirit someone prefer, a very good rum is good for all drinkers ... you prefer mezcal ? this rum have some smoke too, same for scotch and single malt drinkers, you prefer cognac ? find me one so fruity like this rum please ...

Some really nice funky tones followed by arrak and over ripe tropical fruits, butterscotch and chared oak with good integration that almost gives you a touch of whisky.

I found this one from Hampden to be a little harsh… very spicy. If it the only Hampden available to you, still try it! It is very funky, and a great pot still rum. But this goes down like Hampden Overproof. Their LROK 5 has a fuller flavor profile if you can find it. Still great though!

Ce rhum a le caractère d'un jamaïquain, mais reste reste très accessible. Bien pour découvrir ce terroir.

Couldn’t taste or smell the funk at first but suddenly opened up with a really nice, mellow, funky experience. Really enjoyed it!

You can’t have Hampden without that funk and there are loads of that. Great House of course trumps this one but what makes this great is that it has the similar fermented fruit and pineapple notes but dangerously more drinkable in a much lower ABV.

Ez az ital megszeretette velem a jamaikai vonalat, kilógnak a karibi sorból.ez is szinte viszkis jegyeket hoz, jó sok alkohollal.kemény ital, 30 év felett ajánlott, ha már eleged van az agyon érlelt és agyon házasított italokból

Real proper Jamaican rum, look elsewhere if you have a sweet tooth. Can't fault the product, but in the back of my mind I know that smith and cross offers better value and even more funk.
