First off, this bottle may now be a little hard to source but if you come across I suggest buying it. 8 yr Hampden rum finished in Islay SM. Banana, fruit, pepper and Hogo nose. Quality Jamaican taste, higher punch at 66%, but you still get your fruit and fuel tastes with a subtle hint and vanilla and sea salt, perhaps from the Islay finish. Unique and enjoyable!

While I was looking forward to trying this one I was a little put off by the price. That said, while I still think it's a little high it's definitely an interesting rum with it not only being aged in bourbon barrels but whisky barrels as well. Even though it has a high ABV it goes down remarkably easy drinking it neat with notes of dried fruit and banana coming though. If you add a few drops of water it opens up the whisky and fruit as well as fruit even more. I'll definitely look for this distiller again!

Slight funk on the nose, appletony taste but with banana forward notes, finish has citrus with slight burn that persists on lips. Solid if you like hampden type rums, not for sweeter rum lovers

66.4% ABV. Jamaican pot-still rum, aged 8 years in (probably) ex-bourbon barrels, and finished for 1 year in Islay whiskey barrels (hence the name). This has gotta be Hampden (or possibly Long Pond). Great Jamaican nose. Rotten fruits, like cherry. Then just a little smoke on the finish. I don't really go for the Hampden profile (or peated malts), but this is unquestionably super interesting rum, smartly matured.

8+++
