Hampden Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica Single Cask Rum HLCF

Don't come here for a classic Hampden funk bomb — the PX sherry runs the show. Raisins, red fruit and sweet wine sit up front, with the ester and glue tucked underneath and a peppery, oily palate. Most tasters find it surprisingly balanced and easy to sip for a 2-year-old, though a few wish the Jamaican side wasn't so muffled. Great flavor spike in a Mai Tai too.

The community says
  • Raisin-rich PX

Edit: Now that the bottle has been open for a while and probably got a bit more air from the previous split, I actually find it quite drinkable. For the price, it's already very good as a sipper. You definitely can't deny the sherry influence here. All in all, however, a pleasant sipper. I don't mind the sherry, it's a bit of a change. Although I still prefer his colleague.

Warum muss man Jamaika mit Sherry finishen, in dem Fall tut mir leid geht gar nicht

8,4:On the nose, esters, rubber, funky, fermented, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, dried currants, raisins, red fruits, roasted wood notes like nuts, chocolate, smoky, spicy, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, molasses is grassy, citrus and papaya arise, caramel, pastry, leather, allspice, some copper and iodine. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is funky with esters, burnt, chemical at first, but round with sweet PX notes, fermented overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, dried fruits like raisins, later apricot and prunes, citrus fruits, some candied, roasted wood notes like caramel, pastry, leather, spicy with baking spices peppery, smoky, molasses is thick, dark with licorice, flowery, grassy, earthy with tobacco. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, sherry barrel is obvious, complemented by Jamaican funk, esters, as notes from the palate linger on, darker and smokier.

Finish/PX aging is very dominat with PX sweetness taking the lead on the nose as well as on the palate. This is very approachable and enjoyable, but if I‘m looking for the PX taste, I‘d just buy a bottle sherry.

Als würde man Rosinen in Rum jahrelang einlegen und die Rosinen danach auspressen und dazu etwas Bananen Split 😄. Extrem intensive Sherry Noten mit genau der richtigen Menge funkyness. Leckerer als ich erwartet hätte, da mir sonst Sherry echt zu dominant ist, was hier auch der Fall ist aber irgendwie harmoniert es hier echt gut.

Schmeckt leider eher wie Rum mit PX Sherry statt Rum aus dem PX Fass. Das Fass war wohl noch mehr als “restfeucht” … sehr schade. Etwas zu süß (und da bin ich sehr empfindlich), aber sonst eigentlich ganz gut. Sicher ein schöner Flavour Spike in Cocktails oder zum aufpeppen einer Jamaica/Hampden infinity bottle bzw. Zum blenden mit einem normalen HLCF

Bin meistens kein Fan von Sherry Finish bei Hampdens muss aber zugeben, dass mir diese Abfüllung erstaunlich gut gefällt. Die Aromenverteilung Holz - Frucht - Süße ist sehr gut ausbalanciert und der Alkohol gut eingebunden. Hab noch ne Flasche, sodass er zeitnah mal im Mai Tai probiert wird
