CoR Hampden Jamaica No. 6 HLCF 1998 23yr 61,9%
The Jamaica No. 6 HLCF by The Colours of Rum is a distinguished yet controversial release from Hampden distillery, distilled in 1998 and aged 23 years. Bottled at 61.9% ABV, this limited bottling of 255 bottles is noted for its ester-rich profile, featuring tropical fruit, pineapple, and a signature funky note. Opinions vary as users noted the balance between flavors and alcohol integration issues, with some appreciating its complexity and long, fruity-spicy finish, while others find the alcohol not well integrated. Despite its mixed reception, the rum offers a memorable experience with aromas of varnish and an enigmatic, dry palate, revered for its classic Jamaican funk and tropical fruit notes.

“Relatively poorly integrated alcohol. Somewhat bitter .... Banana, pineapple and a few ester notes make themselves felt in the nose and on the palate .... but they don't make themselves comfortable. Tastes somehow-->like intended but not really "successful". Quite ok no more no less.”

“Got a sample of this rum for free from RumX. It’s a pot still distilled Hampden distilled in 1998 whereafter it’s continental aged for 23 years in an ex-Rum barrel before bottled in 255 bottles at 61,9%. Overall a great Hampden HLCF that’s complex, funky and esters rich.”

“#4187 This is not a bad Jamaica especially when looking at the price tag. A nice ester profile with lots of fruit and medium roasted wood profile. The palate is dry and warm and the finish long. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some polish and tar.”
