Stolen Rum

The nose is sweet and nice it drinks banana little bit of menthol but it was sitting in a car tire for a week The rubber lingers and lingers and lingers and if you try to drink some water to get rid of it it makes it so much worse.

Light amber color. This stuff is probably not for a novice rum drinker. The nose has over-ripe bananas, mango, vanilla ice cream, and a little menthol. The palate has caramelized bananas, pineapple, papaya, raisins, candied orange peel, green apple peel, oak, with hints of gasoline, petroleum jelly, and burnt coffee. The finish has vanilla extract, tropical fruit medley, oak, petroleum jelly, and wet leaves. When I first cracked the bottle I found this extremely enjoyable. When I came back for a second pour the next day the gasoline note seemed more pronounced, but not dominant or off-putting. This is the first thing I've tried out of Hampden Estate. It's incredibly complex and challenging but makes me want to seek out Hampden's own bottlings.

3/4 shot perfect.

A little warm, but a very good aged rum. Hogo, ripe banana.

This is THE rum that really got me interested in the different styles and expressions of rum, and it still holds up. Powerful estery nose, citrus, bananas, brown sugar and alcohol astringency. The palette is a wallop of over ripe bananas, vanilla, pineapple, with a thick and luscious mouth feel. For those wanting to experience an OP rum, this will run them running and screaming. But for the drinker with an open palette, and a thirst for complicated and BIG aromas and flavors, this is recommended.

For rum this is amazing. Complex like a scotch. Funky cheese. Bananas. Very complex. Good.
