- Excerpt: Even at the high ABV it is very sweet and easy to sip, the complexity is great for such a young rum. As a sipper it is the type of thing you might only need one glass of. As a mixer its the type of insane loony juice that will cause you to lose a day or two. A rum and coke with this rum is simply divine. This is fantastic stuff. Well deserving of all the hype it has received!

- Excerpt: I wasn’t surprised that the rum had such a long finish — at this alcohol level, it pretty much has to — but I was amazed that despite clocking in at over 61% alcohol, a full glass can actually be sipped on comfortably without too much trouble. That said, when used for its intended purpose — floats and flavor-boosting — it’s quite a valuable addition to your cocktail arsenal.

Intro:
This is an independently bottled release of 6yr, pot still, Hampden rum. It is bottled by "Stolen" which is a hip, trendy, marketing buzzword laden operation being run in the USA. The label encourages you to "Drink it like its stolen"...whatever that means.
-
Nose:
Massive ester blast. Honey, caramel, molasses, meaty BBQ, rich overripe fruits (namely banana, mango, plantain, pineapple). Absolutely loaded with that Hampden funk. Bit of ethanol.
-
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, mild heat for the proof. Sweet fruits, molasses, more overripe fruits, some meatiness here also. Pairs nice with notes of clove and allspice.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet and rich. Lots of estery funk here blended with brown sugar and sweetness.
-
Overall:
Overall, this is a great product. Its young, its brash and it lives up to all of the things I like about Hampden. This is phenomenal neat and also makes a great cocktail. Its well worth looking past the marketing garbage on the bottle/website and enjoying this for what it is: good rum.
