Hampden Estate in Jamacia's Trelawny Parish makes a variety of distillates, each one with its own fermentation and distillation method. The esters in each "mark" is a good way to distinguish them all. This rum is made exclusively with the HLCF mark (Hampden Light Continental Flavoured) and it contains an ester count between 400-600 g/hl making it the 4th of 8th in ester count. It's distilled exclusively in pot-stills and is aged for 4 years in a tropical climate. It's bottled at 60% ABV.

Nose: Acetone, Nail Polish remover, Raisins, Overipe pawpaw and tropical fruits. Overdrive of esthers. Palate: Sweet with overipe pawpaw and other tropicals. Offputting taste of rancid fruit. Finish: As above Comment: I love the 8 gear old Hampden but this is too high in esthers for me.
I love this but you have to mix it with something, its too fragrant on its own.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
