Schwarz Wine presents the Schwarz Premium Rum Hampden Single Cask 2nd Edition 16-year-old, with an impressive 59.5% ABV in a 500ml bottle. This Jamaican rum hails from the iconic Hampden distillery, known for its LROK mark with an ester range of 200-400 g/hlaa, offering a typical Wedderburn style. The aging process took place from October 2000 to January 2017, ensuring a full 16 years of maturation in oak barrels. This particular expression showcases a lower ester content compared to other batches but retains the Hampden charm in a more subtle manner.
On the nose, expect a complex bouquet with notes of vanilla, burnt almonds, grilled pineapple, and baked banana, intertwined with hints of smoke and charred wood. The palate delivers a smooth and creamy texture, despite the high ABV, unveiling flavors of roasted fruits, subtle anise, and a touch of meatiness. The finish is ester-driven, featuring almond, anise, and a dry sensation that lingers pleasantly. Overall, this release epitomizes the Hampden 2000 profile at its finest, offering a balanced and well-rounded experience with a long-lasting finish. Reviewers favor this bottling as one of the standout options from the LROK batch, praising its maturity, complexity, and exceptional value for money at around 50 Euros per 500ml bottle.
