I was shocked at how harsh this rum was at $110 price point. I thought it was roughly equivalent to Kirkland brand.

Květinové a medové vůně, které se projeví následně i v chuti. Jako bych jedl čerstvé pečivo. Je to ale skvělý zážitek.

Adorable GH absolutely fits for purpose from my point of view, harmonic wooden tail with taste of jamaica, it makes me with outstanding fruit balance 😎

What an incredible addition to the collection. Everything I was hoping it would be.
I love this bottle. This is not the first hampden that I have tasted, but this is far better than any other

Nose : Amazing. Smell really good.
Taste : 59° proof. It is surprisingly strong on the first sip, it burns.
But once you learned to drink it slowly, with very small sips, all the flavours are revealing. Very long lasting. I like it as a digestive with ice cubes to lower the alcohol degree.

- vůně jemná nasládlost, plný koš ovoce, ostřejší peprmintové tóny
- chuť vcelku hodně nasládlá, 59% dává o sobě vědět, vanilka
Závěr sladký, jemný až karamelkový

Part of my sample introduction to higher price rums. Liking the 8YO, and reading the glowing reviews, I had to try this before taking a £100 punt on the 2021 edition.
The nose is different to other Hampdens I've tried. Very restrained funk. Volatile aromatics, blended really nicely. Difficult to describe.
After all that though, the taste is a bit muted for me. There's a fair bit of burn, and what flavour there is is balanced, but the burn is what I notice most. Finally, in the finish the funk comes up, and it carries on with considerable length. Not much to describe flavour wise.
Overall, I struggle to get excited by this. It's much classier than Smith & Cross, but also not that different either. I'd rather drink this, but at 3 times the price.... Hmm. At least with S&C, I'm happy to use it as a mixer, and occasionally drink it neat!
