Sample Hampden 2001 Kill Devil (The Whisky Barrel) <>H 16yr 61,2% 3cl

The Kill Devil <>H is a rare, limited release rum from Jamaica’s Hampden Distillery, selected by Hunter Laing.

Distilled in 2001 from molasses using a pot still and aged for 16 years, this rum features a potent 61.2% ABV.
Notable for its intense ester and tropical fruit aromas, the nose reveals layers of pineapple, glue, and banana, with a varnish hint.

The palate continues with an ester-forward profile accompanied by tropical and pineapple notes, underscored by a spicy, fruity character.

Some users find it slightly bitter and less spicy than expected from Hampden, while others appreciate its full-bodied and oily texture.
