On first acquaintance I knew I could sip it ,but it's taken coming back to it over a couple of weeks to really appreciate it.

Very dry, with quite a bit of burn. It's rich with banana and toffee, yet very woody and not really sweet at all.
I don't get much estery funk, but depth and richness and something sherry ish.

I'm new to rum, so I felt I needed something to compare it to, so I poured myself one of my favourite whiskies (Longrow), and in comparison, the Hampden was much deeper, darker and richer. I still enjoyed the Longrow in it's own way but the Hampden rewarded on a whole other level.

It's given me a new benchmark for sipping rum, and my initial 6 is now an 8

It is amazing how much rum you get for the price, it’s crazy. notes: Funky (classic Hampden/Jamaica) honey, banana and nuts. ABV 46 is very well balanced and koncentrated. Jamaica produces some of the best rums in the world and Hampden is propably the best destillery in the world. If you are new to rum, i don’t think you will like this, but for more experienced rum drinkers, I recommend you taste it. Amazing rum with no sugar or any addictives added. High on esters and really cheap price for this quality. Well done Hampden!

Just as good as the overproof, just less proof. .

Day 3 with this in my liquor cabinet. I reached for a Rum Malecon 15 and it actually made me ANGRY that this is in my cabinet! This stuff sucks! I have sure had much better Jamaican rum! This is very reminiscent of subpar agricole. Earthy, funky and unbalanced. Sorry, this just doesn’t work for me. As a novelty ok but it just doesn’t have the taste. No body. No finish. No sir. I don’t like it and I won’t be coerced by “uniqueness” that tastes bad! “Funk” is not always good.

Real pot still rum with no fuss ( sugar).
Lots of flavour, fruit (although inexplicable).
Something in between agricole and whisky.
Really a good start away from sweet rum

Very smooth and pleasant. It reminds me of aged Brazilian cachaça.
Notes of fresh grass and sugar cane juice. Finish medium to long. Not too dry.
No smell or taste of alcohol. It looks lighter than 46% ABV.
100% pot still, no added sugar or color, as all rum should be.

In my opinion, superior to Appleton 12 Rare Blend.

Has some body, fruity, pineapple, and bananas. Cinnamon sweet after notes.

Great nose somewhat unique but familiar at the same time. Have had something similar before. Not a super smooth sipper but great lingering flavor with medium alcohol burn on the finish. Something unique for the collection hard to find in US.
