One of my favorite rums. I'm currently reviewing this side-by-side with the Hampden "Great House Rum Distillery Edition 2020" ($90 ish) and, surprisingly, this is pretty close in quality. The ester profile in the nose on this is deeper and richer, but it's less fruity and floral by comparison. More caramel/molasses, but the 2020 has an amazing crusty, fresh baked bread nose that reminds me of sourdough bread baking (another hobby of mine). Flavor profiles are similar. The Distillery Edition might be harsher. The regular Hampden Overproof has a subtle bourbon-like corn undercurrent. The Distillery Edition has more of a Four Roses fruit undercurrent. Otherwise, both are VERY similar. Both have a beautiful ester profile, with a brown sugar and Demerara base supporting a touch of heat and bitterness - bitter in a way that reminds me of coffee. In that way, the distillery edition has more of a coffee flavor than the standard Overproof The Great House Rum release is very good, but this really speaks to the quality of the Hampden Overproof which is 98% as good and 2/3rds the price.
