1423 ApS Jamaica 2020 Selection Cavavin Belval
๐"Barbecued pineapple atop vanilla & ginger mint ice cream"๐ฆ
Here's a Hampden ๐ฏ๐ฒ rum, marque with a short 28 month continental virgin oak cask maturation. Coming in at 57% ABV.
On the nose: classic Hampden with grilled pineapple, orange zest, lime, vanilla, bubblegum, mango, caramel, clove, slight solvent & olive brine. With water: more vanilla, sea water, floral, perfume, honey.
The palate: pineapple juice, ginger, lime, mint, vanilla, bubblegum, cinnamon. Water brings more cream, less heat and a nicer balance.
The finish is mint, vanilla, slight oak, pepper. No change with water.
Overall this is a touch hot, but still brings classic Hampden notes, slightly improving with some water.
7/10
