The Whisky Jury The Duo (Chapter 4) - LP & HD 1998
Esters, glue and a fresh, oily banana core sit over young virgin-oak notes here — a blend of 1998 Long Pond and 2014 Hampden at cask strength. Most tasters recognize both Jamaican markers and enjoy the fruit-and-ester nose, but the young Hampden keeps pushing forward and the alcohol reads hot and loosely knit. Give it a good 30 minutes of air first.

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Young, hot LP-Hampden blend, ester-forward but rough A likable LP-and-Hampden blend that shows its youth: fruit, glue and esters up front, but hot alcohol, a short-to-medium finish and some bitterness leave several wanting more.

#6115 23.12.2025 Relaxing at Whisky Watcher in Odense. This is a pretty good blend and I am pretty sure that it will get even better after a few drams have been removed from the bottle and then left to mature in the bottle. Will get back to it after the holidays and see if it has gotten even better than it already is. After a while there is a faint flowery touch to the nose.

Netter Blend für Einsteiger. Man erkennt die beiden Marker. Leider sind die Geschmacksaromen etwas schwach, hingegen der Alkohol recht stark zu spüren. Mehr als ein Sample brauche ich hier definitiv nicht.
Review by lars
Schon ganz gut trinkbar. Vor allem das was ich mit LP-Noten verbinde kommt ganz gut durch. Aber ansonsten irgenwie sehr ungestüm, etwas zu schlecht eingebundener Alkohol, etwas zu bitter und weniger frucht als ich gehofft hätte. Alles in allem - gut dass es nur ein 2cl sample war. Keine Kaufempfehlung.
Review by Schnubbii
Schönes Zusammenspiel von LP und HD, aber man merkt die Jugend. Der Abgang ist recht kurz und hinten raus etwas harsch.
Review by Michael Schou
#1704 18-12-2025 - Rate 8.3 It’s exciting to try these blends of two different rums. Hampden and Long Pond. I usually enjoy them both when they are separate. This is a nice blend. Nose of fruit, ester, glue and wood. Palate of ester, wood, oak and a floral taste at the end. Medium finish dominated by fruit and wood aging with a floral taste at the end. 31-12-2025 - Rate 7.9
