Well, this is my last Hampden. I have given this distillery a fair try. While I appreciate that it is not sweet and is distilled with care, the flavor is terrible. Very harsh and unbalanced. Not a sipper. Just a glass of unsavory contrived funk. Tried to mix it and that spoiled banana rot carries through. No complexity, no smoothness and no balance. Too much bite and rotten bananas. And this is NOT cheap. Never again Hampden.

5his was released when Hampden was trying to rebuild the distillery image alongside the rum fire ...as a rum on its own its delicious young funk rum but is a poor representative of this distillery.

Notes of oak , chocolate and funk

Probably the only Hampden rum u wouldn't buy again.

Jamaican traditional style rum with a lot of esters. But if you let it breathe for a while... It's really smooth with a nice aftertaste. Great base for homemade pinnapple rum.

My son offered me a glass of this probably quite short aged golden colored rum from the Hampden Estate in Jamaica.
The nose having clear similarities with other Hampden rums with higher ABV.
It’s funky and greedy with exotic fruits, plums and cherries recognizable.
In mouth and palate it’s rather soft, light and weak probably depending on the low ABV. Flavors of fruits and bananas is recognizable.
The finish is medium long.
Overall a rum with a rather typical Jamaican funky nose, but very soft and light at the palate.
Picture: My poured glass together with the emptied 35cl bottle.

Tento rum je pre mňa príjemným prekvapením. Nečakal som nič a dostal som peknú vôňu, chuť a skvelý pocit. Rum za 15eur,kde rozoznáte Hampden, ovocie,len v lahkej forme. Príjemný na spoznávanie Jamajky

A light sweet and oily smell, some Esther. The taste is at first light sweet, then it gets sharper, quite nice. The finish is rather short.

This is not a smooth rum. I like it for that reason.

Nose is medium funky, some mulled wine spices, a little bit of vanilla, some over-ripe fruit, a little bit of alcohol.

Taste is quite sharp at first, but still sippable. Clean funk (the non-muddy variety), spices, quite a lot of vanilla, some sweetness. Finish is dry and funky. Not overly complex, but not boring.

I really like this stuff as a mild, funky sipper. It is OK on ice, but I prefer it neat without ice. A few drops of water increase the taste.

It's a Jamaican rum of the typical funky Wedderburn style. It's only very lightly aged, if at all, but nonetheless very aromatic. But as you can imagine, the colour must be artificial. Hampden argued that consumers expect a certain golden colour for this type of aromatic rum, so it's meant to be a sign meaning "I'm aromatic!". Of course that is unnecessary for the true connoisseur. What I somewhat disliked about this rum, that is, why I didn't really find it that wonderful, was a dry, almost Scotch whisky-like nuance.

I don’t thinks it much hype. It’s a nice smooth vanilla rum. Nothing unique about it but I’d quite happily sip for the evening

If you are big fan of Jamaican pot still - you can try to sip this, the middle of the taste profile is smooth enough, but the nose is maybe too overpowering and the aftertaste is too strong as the alcohol is young. This is primarily a decent Jamaican mixer, full of esters, nose of overripe bananas and apples, taste matches nose with pretty straightforward and uncomplicated fruity tones, mainly bananas, with a short and biting finish. The bananas nicely stick out in rum and coke.
