I am wavering whether to rate this rum as a rum or as a whisky. Nose is very special and typically Jamaican. Then on the palate the surprise: no tropical flavors, but a good whisky. The rating is for the latter. For a rum, I personally lack the typical rum flavors...
Nose - gasoline then vanilla, cola, rubber cement, caramel , allspice.
Palate - light ale, ginger, burnt molasses, diet Vanilla Coke, spicy spices, faint bourbon smoke.
Finish - medium finish, oak, dark chocolate, orange zest, coffee bean.
Thoughts - nice oak and barrel notes. Not really as fruity or funky as some of the other Hampdens that are my favorites. Great intro to what the distillery can do. Not my favorite Hampden but still better than 90% of rums out there.

vrij dominante smaak ,redelijk wat estergehalte
46% ABV Jamaican rum from the Trelawny region. The Hampden distillery is known for producing of ester rums. This is a purely natural rum, made by pot distillation, with a higher ester content. Aged for 8 years in American oak barrels. No sugar or colouring is added to the rum.
Bottle: Classic Hampden or Velier
Colour: Gold
Nose: Simply an ester bomb. A blast of overripe fruits. Bananas, mango, orange, leather, tobacco, cloves, bitter black tea.
Mouth: Dry, pungent, similar to whisky or bourbon. After that, however, the taste goes more fruity, but lacks of sweetness. Green banana, pineapple, bourbon/whisky, pepper, oak.
Aftertaste: Long
Summary: An honest natural rum that lacks a little fruity sweetness. A good switch from classic sweetish to dry ester rums.
Rating: 8/10
Nose: quite pungent at first, then quickly transforming to sweet and inviting. Typical Jamaican profile, with coconut and green mango. Some funk is to be found here too. Pencil shavings, farmy undertones (dirty tractor anyone?), and butane gas.
Palate: Juicy-sweet, with tons of fruit. Oranges, pineapple, and baked apples. Mild marzipan, a touch of caramel, as well as plum eau de vie. Nice.
Finish: Medium-long. Coconut and mint tea paint the finish.
Conclusion: A very enjoyable sipper. Approachable like a sugared rum (no worries, this is additive free), yet it shows why Jamaican rums are so desirable. Funk and fruit intertwined.
8/10
Great Jamaican rum. It needs some time in the glass to open up. After that the nail polish remover smell fades away and a sweet fruity smell opens up, mainly bananas. Taste opens strong and whisky like, but then evolves very nicely to banana, tropical fruits and your typical Jamaican flavours, quite funky. Finishes with a great and long lasting aftertaste with licorice candy, spices and orange.

Very smooth and ice taste. Notes of fresh grass and sugar cane juice. Finish medium to long. Not too dry. 100% pot still, no added sugar or color, as all rum should be.
