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.

i don't have much to add to the reviews below, it is probably a love it - hate it rum, and i must say i do like it. Although it smells pretty weird in the beginning, if you let it rest for a while it becomes better. The taste is rich, fruity and sweet. Finish is lasting.

At first the nose is ... awful. Like a chemical product in the painting industry ...
If you dare taste it, now it is different. You understand how particular rums can be according to the culture and style. This is form Jamaica. Wooden, dry, not round or sweet. More aggressive and energizing. Not my style but add 2 if it is yours !

The colour is naturally light and straw yellow with no trace of additives as suspected.
The nose is funky, very aromatic and teaming with rubber, ripe sweet banana, glue, coconut and medicin cabinet. Hints of vanilla also fade in.
The taste is medium to heavy bodied with the same notes found in the nose, complemented by honey, slightly toasted barrel and overripe pineapple, fading into a medium long finish.
This is classic and funky, fermented hampden, but not so much as to scare away newcommers to brand. Well done hampden (This review was done with the first release, with no age proclamation on the label)
To those that think this is more whiskey than rum, I would claim the exact opposite. This bottle of rum is as real as it get's:-) (8.7)

Wild rum with many different tastes. Strong and dry, mostly for more experienced drinkers looking for something different.

Lots of very strange notes like nail polish remover, paint solvent and paint stripper, also rubbery, but then again quite rich on tropical fruits. I generally like Jamaican rums and their funky edges, but here these notes are so overpowering they steer away too much from what I find attractive in a rum.

The scent is light and subdued. There are no dominant fragrance notes.
Dessert flavor, shallow, mild. There is no sweetness and the finish is short.
However, it is a well-graded rum, although sometimes I have the impression that it is too watered down. Nevertheless, I really like this rum.

Un rhum d'excellente qualité, dont l'étiquette joue la transparence totale...
Les rhums jamaïcains ne laissent en général pas indifférents, surtout les "high esters" dont celui-ci fait partie: soit on adore, soit on déteste. Personnellement, j'adhère!!!
Au nez, on retrouve des notes phénoliques très marquées (limite une odeur de vernis!) ainsi que des fruits exotiques (très) mûrs (provenant du fameux dunder utilisé pour booster la fermentation probablement).
En bouche c'est corsé : les notes décelées au nez se confirment et explosent au palais!
La finale est assez longue, les arômes restent bien en bouche...
Un rhum jamaïcain typique et de qualité , mais pas forcément accessible à tout le monde...
Les débutants ou amateurs de rhums plus doux risquent d'être rebutés par les saveurs puissantes et surprenantes de cette bouteille.
Pour découvrir l'univers des rhums jamaïcains, mieux vaut peut être commencer par un Appleton estate 12 ans par exemple, dans lequel on retrouve aussi les saveurs si typiques à ce terroir, mais qui se montre beaucoup plus accessible et facile à boire!
