Hampden Estate 8 Year Old Review
A blend of baking spice aromas and banana skins is immediately present in this funky, lively Jamaican rum. Expect notes of coffee, smoke, and strong tannic grip on the palate, as this rum entices you with its depth and intensity. Aged for eight years, this complex expression by Hampden Estate shouldn't be overlooked.
