Review #1372; Rum #675
This sample was provided to me by a producer, distributor, or some other industry source free-of-charge. No compensation, outside of the sample, was received and there were no strings attached.
Here we have a bottle of rum from Hampden Estate. This is rum made from molasses and distilled on those famous pot stills. This is a blend of various marques at various ages which I laid out below and bottled at cask strength at a yearly release.

Great. This is just a classic expression of Hampden Rum. A bit of glue, tropical fruits, spices, and some intense weird savory notes. All in all, another great release.
