Truly a great Jamaican single rum. Great synergy of spice, sweet, bite, and burn. Get this instead of Appleton. The aroma has intense notes of fruit.

This Overproof absolutely fits for purpose from my point of view, a bit more wooden tail than GH but used to drink similar ones species of alcohol, it makes me blowed up from my pants 😎

Typické estery v Jamajce v květinovem tónu. Chuť je intenzivní a silná. Estery z toho jen strikaji. Závěr hrejivy a dlouhý

The Hampden Pure Single Estate Overproof Rum is a molasses rum from Jamaica that is made in pot style and then stored in oak barrels for 7 years. Hampden processes its own sugar cane. The rum comes with 60% barrel strength in a not so pretty bottle, which almost bursts with information. Exemplary.

The rum is simply a force in the nose. Typical Jamaica and absolutely comparable to the Hampden of Velier. Lots of esters, fermented tropical fruits, some menthol. Heavy but fresh the nosing here is an absolute fun. The 60% are never disturbing but promote the many aromas. On the palate, the Hampden comes directly and powerfully. Ester notes are clearly recognizable. But not excessively. Some glue but also a lot of fruit like pineapple and ripe banana swing along. Some spice and wood notes become clearer towards the finish. In the end, the rum shows an amazingly light sweetness. There's just a lot going on. The finish is a bit sharper than with my Velier. The rum remains present for a long time and with a little water the taste can still be varied. It get's a little fruitier and lighter.

The Hampden Estate Overproof is worth every penny and a great rum. It shows all the power and acts wild and original. A must for friends of barrel strengths. But it can also be diluted well and it works excellently in your own blend. Simply top.

Der Hampden Pure Single Estate Overproof Rum ist ein Melasse Rum von Jamaika der im Pot Stil hergestellt wird und dann 7 Jahre in Eichenfässern gelagert wird. Hampden verarbeitet dabei sein eigenes Zuckerrohr. Der Rum kommt mit 60% Fass Stärke in einer eher eigenen Flasche, welche vor Informationen fast platzt. Vorbildlich.

Der Rum ist in der Nase einfach eine Wucht. Typisch Jamaica und absolut Vergleichbar mit dem Hampden von Velier. Viel Ester, Frucht, vergorene tropische Früchte, etwas Menthol. Schwer aber frisch ist das Nosing hier ein absoluter Spaß. Die 60% sind dabei nie störend sondern fördern die vielen Aromen. Am Gaumen kommt der Hampden direkt und wuchtig. Esternoten sind klar erkennbar. Aber nicht übermäßig. Etwas Klebstoff aber auch viel Frucht wie Ananas und reife Banane schwingen mit. Etwas Würze und Holznoten werden Richtung Abgang deutlicher. Am Ende zeigt der Rum eine erstaunlich leichte Süße. Es passiert einfach unheimlich viel. Der Abgang ist etwas Schärfer als bei meinem Velier. Der Rum bleibt lange präsent und mit etwas Wasser kann der Geschmack noch variiert werden. Er wird etwas fruchtiger und leichter.

Der Hampden Estate Overproof ist jeden Cent wert und ein toller Rum. Er zeigt die ganze Kraft und wirkt Wild und Ursprünglich. Für Freunde von Fass Stärken ein Muss. Er lässt sich aber auch gut verdünnen und auch im eigenen Blend arbeitet er hervorragend mit. Einfach top.

The most pronounced notes I taste: banana chocolate chunk ice cream, leather, cherries, gluestick

There is also some: rubber, smores by a campfire, dark plums, cherry Garcia ice cream, dewy rainforest bark and leaves, milk chocolate coated dried fruit, coconut, jasmine tea, arugula, dusty wood, whiskey, bbq pineapple, boysenberry syrup, chocolate coffee beans, mango, grilled potato, attics, black tea, orange pop, kosher salt crystals, plantains and crayon.

Finish: Long as hell and very dry... gluestick and cherry are dominant

Mouthful: GOOD - like a nice scotch

I love hogo and Jamaican pot still rums. They're generally my favorites. But for the price, I can't say this is totally worth it. But this is also something that is unlikely to be gone through quickly. And when in the mood, it is very nice. This has a very dry finish and a prominent gluestick note, so keep that in mind. If you're more into a hogo-ish fruit explosion, there are probably better options. I have the non-overproof version too (so I'll review that eventually).

Overall, this is a very authentic, traditional, cool, natural rum. Hogo times!

I tested this one in a blindtest, it was the one with 60 ABB. . At first I couldn't fiigure wether it was jamaican funk or an agricole rum.

Nose: Hay, ripe apricots, green fruits, a lot of esters some oakiness but not much.

Taste: green bananas, apricots, burned almonds some butterscotch and vanilla.

It's a real treat that demand to stand for a while or even in need of some extra water. It changes in both taste and nose over time which I think is very appealing.
8/10!
