Maggie’s Farm x Hidden Harbor 2 Year

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1232; Rum #545

This is an aged version of the Maggie’s Farm x Hidden Harbor rum. This is an aged version of a rum that is a blend of Maggie’s Farm unaged Queen’s share rum that is blended with rums from Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana, and Martinique. This rum was aged for 2 years in ex-rum casks before being bottled for Hidden Harbor, a tiki bar in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

Distillery: Blend of Various distilleries

Bottler: Maggie’s Farm

Region:  Many

Still: Column & Pot

ABV: 50%

Cask: Ex-Rum

Nose: Pineapple, Black Pepper, a touch of Banana

Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Vanilla, banana, pineapple, touch of lime peel, nutmeg

Finish:  Medium length finish, Vanilla, Pineapple, Banana, touch of vegetal, nutmeg, toasted brown sugar

Conclusion:This is a very good aged rum blend. It sips very nice neat with a nice rounding off the flavors the unaged version of this which I tried quite a few years ago now and deserves a revisit. However, this comes across as a classic rummy rum. Cocktails do not play into my scores but this is quite good in a daiquiri as is the unaged version of this.

Final Score: 85

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.
  • 90-94: Sublime, a personal favorite in its category.
  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.
  • 60-69: Not so good. I might not turn down a glass if I needed a drink.
  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.
  • 0-49: Blech.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
