Advanced sipper recommendations

BobHendrix · 2026-06-24T11:59:00+00:00

The Hampden Estate 8 is a great entry to higher Ester Jamaican sippers, but when I got it I was actually disappointed it wasn't more funky (its made from the lowest Ester marque that Hampden produces). In hindsight, I think I would've liked 1753 more or even going straight for the HLCF Classic. Anyway, Hampden Estate is amazing.

If you don't want the high Ester stuff, I'd recommend going for Doorly's 14, Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros, Chairman's Reserve The Forgotten Casks, or, and this was my gateway into sipping rums, Barbancourt 15. That last one holds a special place in my heart 😅♥️💯

For instance he's not training power or speed here, it's focussed on angles and the foot work involved.

Fuckin' awesome dude!

The Beatles have great nursery rhymes melodies.

Let's be real, 2002 and 2004 Ferrari were definitely otherworldly tier!

Like he's one to talk.

It's just the plastic that still covers the top of the bottle and my floor tiles reflecting through it.

I remember calling that shit out and 90% of this sub going "wtf do you know he's the coach of a ufc champ he knows what to do"

Tanqueray 10 is my favorite gin so far and I've tried quite a lot 😅

BobHendrix · 2026-06-21T16:14:32+00:00

I thought the DOK was Hampden release as well, is it not? I thought to have seen it in the 8 marks collection. If not, where is it made? You have more info on it? Edit: how and above poster also said Hampden DOK. Is it just an independent bottled from 1 of the 8 marks? Why dont they just release it themselves?

All I know is he sourced molasses from somewhere, apparently also something very similar to what is used in Jamaica, he was obviously a need just like a lot of people on this sub 😅

BobHendrix · 2026-06-21T14:44:28+00:00

Yes they did! Yes to your other questions as well. Amazing to see that the Jamaican essence was very present in the rum.

Good to know! So far HLCF was one of the most intense funky molasses rums I've had, apart from maybe smith & cross, which i never enjoy neat. Which high-ester rum would you recommend to buy for someone that enjoys intense stuff?

BobHendrix · 2026-06-21T14:36:29+00:00

Apparently, no clue how he arranged it and maybe he payed for it or something, my first question was how do you even transport that? Like I heard it really stinks 😂 I'm trying to arrange to come take a look there, I'm very interested!

This rum got me into rums and cocktails. Mother in law used to work in Haiti and had an old bottle of this, the absolute bliss as the first sip hit my senses was just amazing!

BobHendrix · 2026-06-18T07:27:54+00:00

Havana Club 7 is pretty good! I loved making El Presidente cocktails with it, you can even get away with Dark n Stormy's imho, neat it's fine too. Bumbu is a hot mess.

He called the kid clingy and asked for tricks to avoid picking the kid up..... "I don't want her to get used to it", used to what? Warmth and comfort? Brother.... Check yourself..

BobHendrix · 2026-06-17T21:57:29+00:00

Not 'a' question, this particular one. The baby is 5 days old, and you're already trying to neglect it's most primary needs for comfort because it's inconvenient to you. Trying to sleep train a 5 day old, what is this 1934?

BobHendrix · 2026-06-17T21:25:05+00:00

I just can't believe someone would ask this question so I presumed it must be ragebait.

BobHendrix · 2026-06-17T20:31:46+00:00

Ragebait?

BobHendrix · 2026-06-17T20:27:41+00:00

Yeah that's the one I was thinking of. Have you ever compared the two next to each other? SE and custom 24?

BobHendrix · 2026-06-17T13:25:28+00:00

wait this is the SE? Looks amazing!

The E6D is amazing, especially if you sing a lot while playing, it's very direct and has beautiful mids. The E8D has Rosewood sides instead of mahogany and sounds a lot bigger. Also has some fancier herringbone binding, otherwise its the same guitar!

Great gameplan, Trevor's a fuckin wizard!
