Sh*t, Suck, Good, Great, and 100-Point Scales (Also Hampden Velier LFCH 2011 v. LROK New York 2010)

I love Hampden Estate distillery in Jamaica. Love 'em. I've already reviewed their Rum Fire (   • Hampden Estate Rum Fire White Overpro...  ), their big official Overproof (   • Hampden Estate Overproof Rum review  ), and even the bootleg Stolen bottling (   • On Adding Water to Spirits + Stolen O...  ), and I've enjoyed them all immensely. Along with Worthy Park, Neisson, Bielle, Foursquare, and a number of others, I see Hampden as in the vanguard of independent rum producers showing off what the spirit can really do. Here I've got two further expressions to review and compare coming from two of the lower marques (https://cocktailwonk.com/rum-marques), a slightly expensive Velier offering and a really expensive single barrel for New York (thanks for the sample, u/SpicVanDyke!). Stats: Hampden Estate LFCH 2011-2018 7 Year Old (bottled by Habitation Velier; esters at 231.3 gr/hlpa; 60.5% ABV), 88+/100 Hampden Estate LROK 2010-2019 9 Year Old New York Edition (Official Bottling of single ex-bourbon cask #327 producing 267 bottles; 59% ABV), 90+/100 But all that's the back end of the video, so skip to about 8:20 if you just want the Hampden stuff. As a lead-in I talk a little about how I've been adding some color to how I think about the meaningless, tyrannical numbers (https://wineeconomist.com/2008/05/27/...) of the 100-point scoring scale. Any attempt to qualify the quantitative is always going to be a temporary success at best, but at the moment I've been happy adapting Dave Tate's scale of Shit to Suck to Good to Great (as discussed maybe a third of the way down at https://www.precisionnutrition.com/da..., where they're mainly trying to sell you a phone app or something; he also associates it with that dopey "suffer to win" attitude which, uh, doesn't usually work) to those raw numbers. So, roughly speaking, anything south of 75 is Shit, anything north of 75 but south of 83 is Suck, 83 up to 90 is Good, and over 90 is Great. And I think this comes in useful when trying to communicate what these reviews are supposed to be saying. For example, to translate why I think Hampden's worth a hard look by just about everyone interested in spirits: everything they put out ranges from the high end of Good way up through Great.
