The Transcontinental Rum Line 2012 HD Jamaica Line #33 is a distinguished offering from the renowned Hampden Distillery in Jamaica. This 6-year-old rum, distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2019, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship for which Hampden is famous. Selected and bottled by Transcontinental Rum Line, it boasts a potent ABV of 58.1%, making it a robust addition to any rum enthusiast's collection. Hailing from Jamaica, this 700ml bottle of rum is derived from molasses using a traditional Pot Still, capturing the distinctive flavors of the region. The aroma opens with delightful fruity notes of tropical fruits like mango and banana, paired with esters and a hint of spice. Upon tasting, the palate reveals complex flavors of spice and fruit, with hints of chocolate and lacquer over time, supported by a creamy and smooth texture. The finish is long, with lingering spicy, woody, and fruity notes, complemented by a touch of bitterness and cherry. While some may find it slightly less complex than older Hampden offerings, its balance of fruit and spice, integrated alcohol, and excellent price-performance ratio make it a great sipping rum, especially for those who appreciate its distinct nose and flavors.
