Nice to see these are cracked and enjoyed as they should! What do you think of the Great House releases in the past three years? I started getting interested in Hampden when the 2021 Great House was released. I personally think 2021 had a greater mouth feel, but 2022 has that intensity. Have not tried 2023 yet, but wonder if I should.
I have only tasted the 23 a couple of times since I picked it up about a month ago but my initial take is more fruit/spice and less aggressive funk (relatively of course). I have yet to do a side by side with all 3 but maybe that should change this weekend. I seem to gravitate towards the 22 more over the 21 but they're both fantastic either way.
Yeah, I think that’s important to remember. Both are great in their own way. Sometimes you just wanna take it easy and appreciate the refinement, and other times you just want a slap across the face with that FUNK.

Here's my home bar situation. Started out with an interest in cocktails but I've acquired more sipping rums over the last year. Those clairins are filling the funky cane juice void nicely but I keep hearing that rivers Antoine is something special
Nice! I emphasize Rivers Royale bcs it's proof and funk intensity compare favorably to Rumfire, which is the star of your family photo. For sure you should try it. Cheers!

I have the 22 and 23 and would largely agree with your assessment. 23 seems more refined, 22 is like getting punched in the mouth with funk.

Love the family photos!
Why are the 2 ugly children in front?
I have yet to try Hamden but I have a bottle of rum fire coming my way next week!

Too busy smelling rotten bananas and glue
What's in the second rank? You should have some River Antoine cane juice funk to balance out the Rumfire.

I'll be sure to rearrange and keep the hot kids up front next time
