Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2022, this 8-year-old rum epitomizes the distinctive high ester profile that Hampden is famed for. The bottler, The Nectar of the Daily Drams, has chosen a Bourbon cask that enhances the unique and bewitching notes of this rum, delivering a sensory experience that is both intense and complex.
On the nose, this rum unfolds layers of tropical fruits such as pineapple, banana, and orange, all interwoven with the characteristic varnish-solvent notes that high ester enthusiasts crave. There are also hints of almonds and honey, reminiscent of baklava, making the aroma quite intriguing yet a bit tamer than its elder siblings like the HGML and C<>H marks.
The palate reveals a dance of bold yet balanced flavors. Initially, it presents the expected solvent and varnish notes, which quickly give way to spices and overripe tropical fruits. Hints of olive, lemon, and pepper add complexity, while a slight funkiness and subtle vanilla sweetness from the cask come forward. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering fruity brine, soft woodiness, and a touch of vegetal and ester notes.
This young yet promising rum offers a profound and multi-layered tasting experience. While some reviewers feel that additional aging could further enhance its charm, The Nectar of the Daily Drams 2013 Hampden <H> remains a standout expression that allows rum aficionados to explore the distinct and beloved characteristics of high ester Jamaican rum.
