“A very nice nose with light fruitiness, ester is barely perceptible! On the palate, initially a tart sweetness, which then quickly gives way to the spicy woody side. It spreads creamy and smooth, the alcohol is acceptably integrated. The finish is also spicy with some long tongued black tea flavor. Given the price, a good low-ester rum from Hampden”

“Everything you expect from a continentally aged Hampden, with a few more traits that could come from the years spent at the tropics. Tropical fruits, almost rotting, are dominating the scene along with esters. While drinking there is a nice pastry note, even if alcohol integration is not perfect and there is a bit of astringency. This is an hybrid between the two Hampden styles I am used to drink, but still pleasant to drink”
