The Rum Cask 1998 Hampden Pot Still Single Cask Rum, distilled at the renowned Hampden distillery in Jamaica, is an exquisite offering from independent bottler The Rum Cask. This 17-year-old rum, bottled in 2015, boasts a robust ABV of 63.2%, promising a captivating and intense experience. Aged to perfection, this pot still rum is crafted from molasses and embodies the high ester profile that Hampden rums are celebrated for. Upon opening the bottle, you're greeted with a delightful aroma of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, complemented by notes of glue, berries, and a hint of floral essence. On the palate, the rum unravels a complex mix of fruity esters, sweet pastry notes, and oaky undertones, balanced by vibrant hints of herbal nuances and a smooth touch of esters. The finish is medium-long, presenting a harmonious blend of wood, salt, cream, and berry-infused spice with a touch of bitterness. Enthusiasts appreciate the rum's sweet, oily texture and multifaceted flavor profile, which includes fruity, spicy, and dry elements. Although some reviewers noted a slightly floral and grapefruit note that didn't quite match their preference, the overall quality and complexity remain highly praised. This rum is a sought-after gem within the Hampden portfolio, often revisited by aficionados for its exceptional character and memorable drinking experience.
