Hampden Estate CH (1,300-1,400 esters gr\/hlPA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProportions are not provided, but it is bottled at 57% with no additives.<\/p>\n
We got a small sample to try, so let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n
You won\u2019t miss the \u201chigh ester\u201d tag, which is explosive right at the outset. The nose of the rum is thick with overripe fruit, bubble gum, and cotton candy, just a few of the most iconic elements that define high-ester rum. From peaches to apricots to baked apples, there\u2019s a full fruit salad here in the glass \u2014 and dripping in heavy syrup.<\/p>\n
The palate is plenty sweet and fruit-laden from the jump (not to mention hot on the tongue), but it settles into a groove in reasonably short order. Candied fruits, evoking fruitcake decor, are powerful on the tongue, though the rum finds more complex footing as notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, and some mint come quickly into focus. Still, this is \u201chigh ester\u201d rum that never really shakes its notoriety, including plenty of bubble gum returning on the finish and a slick layer of white sugar syrup. Chewy peach rings linger on a lengthy fade-out.<\/p>\n
