Hampden Great House 2024:

Stepping into the very heart of Jamaica, I feel the soul of the Hampden Great House resonate within me. The nose is a delectable adventure—the scent of bananas mingles with rum raisin vanilla ice cream melting under the sun. A gust of exotic tropical fruits expands the senses, and a whiff of pencil shavings brings back evocative memories of writing on a sunlit porch. From the sea, a hint of olive brine drifts in, adding a delightful surprise to this aromatic journey.

Dwelling on this rum, the complexity that Hampden is known for truly begins to shine. It's like walking into a charming patisserie filled with goodies waiting to be devoured. Fluffy meringues and rich crème brûlées tease the tongue, each one drawing me deeper into a layered experience. Notes of licorice weave their mischievous touch throughout, and that familiar taste of banana makes a comeback, now accompanied by bready yeast—not that awful fake banana essence, but the comforting scent of freshly baked bread.

This is more than just a rum; it's a magnificent Hampden Great House—definitely among my favorites. It captures the very core of why so many people have an affinity toward Hampden—a poetic blend of complexity and perfection. It's a combination that makes every single sip memorable.

Experienced with a riff of a cocktail I loved last weekend at the Buona Notte.

I'm naming this riff the Nectar twilight, a good moment to enjoy the last moment of the summer vibes:
2oz white nectarine infused rum (Old Brigan Black label & Rhum JM Terroir Volcanique)
0.75oz white nectarine syrup
0.75oz lime
Muddled mint

Garnish with slice of nectarine in old fashioned glass.
