LCWoody Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I’ve picked up a 15y Jamaican rum today. I opened it up at the store and it’s a really good straightforward Jamaican rum. Not too funky like some of the Jamaican rum‘s, but very easy to drink. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting this-- that’s EXACTLY what I imagined it would be like. Makes sense though-- a buttoned-up official bottling versus an unbridled independent version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it had some funk to it but as noted not like some of the independent bottling's. That, and 15 years of aging has some impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming ITP is one of their lighter marques? I've always wanted to try Long Pond, this looks glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not clearly stated as such but as a product of the National Rums of Jamaica, part owners of Long Pond, and not an independent producer I would think so.

berto Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Bought three different Hamilton single barrels from DDL from three different stills. Two 8yr and one 13yr. Should be a fun compare and contrast project. Should have delivery next week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they stand up in cocktails but very nice sippers. Finish is long and satisfying. Certainly not rums I would call interesting or unique but they are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurgalunas Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 This just arrived at the LS. I'd heard it was coming, and glad they set one aside. Should be pretty tasty making my way through the collection, I've really enjoyed the Hampden products to date... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The individual nuances should really shine. Just wish you could regularly find the different marks like that so you can pick your favorites. Let us know your thoughts!

Nomad Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I enjoyed the fuck out of my set. It's the pinnacle for some of us rum enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
