    Interesting tasting. Hampden Great House Rums are some potent rums. Tasting all four back to back is no easy feat. I love the descriptor "acidic vomit" especially when you are saying it with a smile. Keep up the interesting content.

    Lol, talk about taste buds getting fried. Try doing the whole 8 marks collection in one night. I didn't taste anything for a day after that.
    Great lineup, thats a hard flight to do. Great work pushing through. Keep up the great content.

    Awesome. Love the 2020. Coffee beans for the nose and cool water between tasting helps me. That little extra time between makes it more enjoyable and discernible as well. Great job.

    Incredible video as always. would love to see how you turn each great house into its own special cocktail.

    Man, I have 21-23 but sadly no 20! There's one on secondary for like 400 bucks but that's not going to happen sadly

    I get my 2023 next week. Thanks for the side by side! I think I’ll recreate it next week!

    Excellent side-by-side ranking video! It's difficult and demanding on the palate, but I think doing blinds like this helps alleviate the sort of yearly release bias that people seem to get sometimes where each successive year gets ranked down from the previous year because of familiarity and whatever else it may be. For instance, I feel like I see the Great House 2023 getting ranked below 2022, and 2022 getting ranked below 2021 and so on, in various forums and discussions, and that seems to happen with a lot with yearly releases.

    These doesn't sound fun I've blinded 5 high proof bourbon and never felt like what your describing here. I'm looking to get some sipping rums I don't believe that this brand will be in the running.

    Yeah everyone knows the 2020 is the best of all the Great Houses. I knew the order you would pick and everyone knows the 2021 is the worst of the Great Houses. Too me that blind was not revelatory and more just a confirmation. Can't wait for the new unaged Worthy Park Overproof whenever it finally gets to the U.S. and $30-ish. K&L will have it whenever it drops

    It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.

    I haven’t had the 20 or 21, but I really liked the 22. I tried it side by side with the 23 and I think I did like that one a little more! A bit mellower in a very pleasant way – the 22 is great but it’s SO punchy.

    Can I ask for your guidance. I have the opportunity to buy 2020 through 2023. Are they worth collecting? Was thinking of buying one bottle each for drinking and one for collecting

    Great review. Aligns with mine views exactly. Only missing the supreme champ 2019 but outside that I also rank 2020 top and 2021 last 👍
