The S.B.S 2013 Jamaica Trelawny <>H Warehouse #1 Exclusive is a remarkable release from the esteemed Hampden Distillery, bottled by S.B.S. Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2021, this rum boasts an impressive ABV of 68.3%, making it a bold choice for enthusiasts. Limited to only 254 bottles and presented at cask strength, it promises a unique tasting experience. Its light gold appearance hints at the vibrant and intense flavors contained within. The distillation process at Hampden, known for its ester-rich and funky rums, is evident in the complex aroma and taste profiles of this exceptional spirit. The rum exhibits a captivating nose with notes of pineapple, nail polish remover, and a touch of vinegar. On the palate, it offers a warm attack with spices like nutmeg, well-ripened banana, caramel, and licorice, accompanied by a slight sourness and a hint of bitterness. Despite its high ABV, the alcohol is well integrated, leading to a finish that is not super long but tightens the cheeks with its astringency. This exclusive release is a testament to Hampden's traditional rum-making techniques and the meticulous cask selection by S.B.S.
The "<>H" mark indicates a specific high-ester profile characteristic of Hampden Distillery's rums, known for their intense and complex flavors.
The S.B.S 2013 Jamaica Trelawny was aged primarily in a continental climate, contributing to its intense lightness and well-integrated high ABV.
While the S.B.S 2013 is highly regarded, some compare it to the Nobilis 2013 <>H, noting that the Nobilis is slightly more elegant. However, the S.B.S version is praised for its bold and roasted profile.
The S.B.S 2013 Jamaica Trelawny <>H Warehouse #1 Exclusive is a fantastic example of a high-ester Jamaican rum. The aroma is captivating with its pineapple and ester notes, while the palate delivers a rich combination of tropical fruits, spices, and roasted flavors. Despite the high ABV, it is impressively well-integrated, making it a delightful experience. While it may not reach the elegance of some other high-ester rums, it stands out with its bold character and complexity.
