Nice light gold color. The nose is typical Jamaican style rum with varnish, pineapple. Lot of exotic fruits. On the palate, It is very hot or even explosive. With 66.3% alcohol it's a little predictable ;-). The pineapple is still present with some chocolate notes and also spices. Very long in mouth, dry, long finish.
It is recommended to add a drop of water for the tasting but I have not tried.

In my quest to get more into the funk, I got the opportunity to try this offering from Italian bottler Rum Nation from their Rare Rums-series. I really like Hampden, so I was excited to try this one
Nose: Lots of funky herbs, Lemon, Ginger, Tar, Cloves
Taste: Ginger, Oak, Funk, Salty Brine and Cloves with a very, very long aftertaste
Overall: This is a really solid rum from Hampden at cask strength. It might be a bit to overpowering for some, but I really like it. If you want to challenge yourself or enjoy some funky power, then this rum is for you. My only problem is that the price tag is a bit to high, but apart from that, this is a really good rum.
