Perola Hampden Bellamy‘s Reserve Jamaica HD OWH 2012

Pineapple, marzipan and a whiff of nail-polish glue open this OWH — the low-ester Hampden mark, so don't expect a funk bomb. Tasters find lots of tropical fruit (pineapple, banana, coconut) plus roasted almonds and young oak. At 59.5% the alcohol reads well-integrated; a few call it a "daily sipper" with edges. The main gripe is a short finish.

How does Perola Hampden Bellamy‘s Reserve Jamaica HD OWH 2012 taste?

Aggregated from 27 community reviews.

Fruity, low-ester Hampden with a short finish Most call it a rounded, fruity Hampden that punches above a low mark. The catch: barely any ester and a short finish. One taster guessed Worthy Park blind.

Perfect for

Hampden fans who want fruit and balance over full-on funk

Less suitable for

Anyone chasing a high-ester funk bomb or a long finish

Leckerer und süffiger neuer MJH3 bzw. OWH Low Ester Hampden von Bellamy's. Alkohol gut integriert, schöne Fruchtnoten (Ananas, Papaya & Honigmelone), dazu geröstete Mandeln und Kokosmakronen Gebäck, sowie Limettenschale und Saft und dadurch eine angenehme Säure im Abgang. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz aber es ist eben auch eher ein entspannter Low Ester Hampden! Tolles PLV meiner Meinung nach und für mich bis dato einer der besten OWHs am Markt.

Solider Jamaikaner mit mehr Frucht und Aromen, als man von einem OWH erwarten würde. Da hab ich deutlich schlechtere für mehr Geld probiert. Fruchtige Nase mit viel tropischen Früchten (Ananas, Banane, Kokos), Rosine, Toffee, Holz … am Gaumen auch etwas Limette und Papaya. Gaumen etwas kantiger als die Nase, aber immer noch im Rahmen und mit einer leicht cremigen Textur.

Ein rundum angenehmer OWH mit einer lebendig-fruchtigen Nase, der jedoch anzumerken ist, dass das Bourbonfass mit ziemlich frischem Holz aufwarten konnte, was sich im recht vielschichtigen Geschmack dann auch bestätigt. Lecker, aber mit einem etwas nachhaltigeren Abgang wäre noch mehr drin gewesen.

Toller OWH. Entspannt, ausgewogen und macht Spaß. Nur der relativ kurze Abgang gibt etwas Abzug. Dennoch sehr gutes Preis-Genuss-Verhältnis.

Sehr guter Hampden, aber quasi keine Ester erkennbar, aber Mandeln. Blind hätte ich wahrscheinlich auf Worthy Park getippt.

Typisches Hampden profil, wenn auch mit nicht ganz so intensiven Ester und somit Frucht an der Nase. Am Gaumen dann deutlich mehr Frucht. Nicht ganz so intensiv und komplex, aber ein guter Daily Sipper mit Ecken und Kanten. Der Abgang ist leider nicht so lang. Der Alkohol is gut eingebunden.

An der Nase erstmal sehr fruchtig, süß, ester, nagellack, die Feuchtigkeit ist tropisch, Ananas, Banane und ein fitzelchen von Kokosnuss. Am Gaumen erstmal sehr trocken im Verhältnis zur Nase. Holz, eine leichte Bitterkeit die sich durchzieht. Trotzdem behält der Rum seine tropischen Früchte am Gaumen.
