„Phew, given the ABV of this rum I feel like a bloody beginner ... 🥴 The pesky fruit fly did not seem to feel that way, death-defying, it immediately pounced on the DOK and paid for this tease with its life. 🤷♂️ [No fake!] So, this rum should be taken with a grain of salt. Yes, there is a lot of tempting tropical fruit, but also a fulminant aroma carrier - and that is alcohol. Conclusion: should have tried, (especially if you want to feel like a beginner again). Oh, and if you wanted to draw a comparison in these regions: I found last year's incredible HGML (surprising overachiever from Romdeluxe at last year's GRF) more drinkable and digestible despite its 86%.“

„What a rum! Here is Hampden in all its splendor! The fruits of the distillery are well present (Banana / Pineapple / Mango / Sour cherry / Strawberry), a huge empyreumatic side due to the esters does not calm the beast (Copper / Rubber / Smoke / Tar / Solvent...).It is spicy in the Jam way (Clove / Nutmeg / Cumin / Pepper (chilli) / Cinnamon).the absence of wood brings us a nice vegetal side as well as a nice freshness (Licorice / Citrus / Sap / Green / Hay / The (green / bergamot)).it is also greedy and pastry Cream / Brioche.“

„What to say... Except that it is a bomb not to put in the hands of anyone. This bottle is a public danger that it is necessary to taste for the lovers of high esters. Be careful not to burn your throat on a too big sip“

„In the category of "who's got the highest alcohol content?" this rum takes pride of place. The nose is an explosion of fruity and phenolic aromas, with fermented, medicinal, rubbery notes, bordering on the metallic. You get the sense that this is no joke. On the palate, it's a real revelation. The integration of the alcohol is quite a feat. The concentration of phenolic flavors (esters, solvents) and tropical fruit is at its peak, but a surprising hint of smokiness enhances the whole. The rum is at once very astringent, very suave and aromatic. The finish is very long, largely captured by tannins, a form of bitterness, funky, medicinal and fermented notes. A bluffing, innovative and captivating rum, to be savored by nano-gorged. The quality/price ratio is questionable for an unaged rum, but the experience, though disconcerting, is well worth the detour to be convinced.“

„A real firecracker! The nose is still relatively restrained but on the palate it becomes clear what is going on here: Jamaica funk pure! The rum conquers every corner in the mouth and lingers forever!crass stuff and excellent for rum balls and as a kick in the cocktail.“

„A rum of very high intensity, in the nose and even more in mouth. The phenols are particularly present and the long finish on red fruits is very pleasant.“

„A bomb, concentrated funk, overripe pineapple especially, solvent and also Abruzzese goat cheese made by my friends. Mouth warm and soft“

„Amazing stuff. The first few drops were extremely warm in my mouth and loaded with funk. After that the rum revealed a very fruity profile which I appreciated a lot. An intense ester bomb with a lot of fruit that totally took me by surprise. I need to find a sample of this… 😀“

„Ladies and gentlemen..this is truly a little gem. Although the ABV might be frightening, it is actually very well integrated and all that alcohol dramatically enhances all the wonderful flavors that this rum brings..funk banana peel, pineapple, orange zeist, then rocky minerals, lots of flowers, medicine, pencil eraser. It gradually evolves into grass, fresh bitter almonds with a pinch of green pepper and lastly some green tea. Water is mandatory to enhance those fruity flavors (mango and papaya also come through), also making the rum a little bit more astringent. Amazing !“

„Vergleich zwischen den zwei ABV Bomben von Romdeluxe. Was soll ich sagen, einen großen Schluck braucht man von beiden nicht nehmen. Wahrlich sind beide absolute Esterexplosionen. Irgendwann verliert man den Überblick was man alles an Geruch-und Geschmacksrichtungen entdeckt hat. Nach zwei bis dreimal hin und her probiert, kann ich leider vor lauter Geschmacksexplosionen nichts mehr wirklich unterscheiden. Fazit beide haben Charme und es gibt für mich keinen wirklichen Favoriten.“

„C: No colour. N: Sweet vinegar. A wall of vegetables fights against a grassy mean mezcal-ish note. It´s Hampden so, of course, there is pineapple, citrus and nail polish remover/acetone. This DOK reminds me of the 2007 vintage. M: This rum wants to eat your tongue. If you can handle it, it´s sweet with notes of pineapple and mezcal. The absence of cask influence made it sharp and straight forward. Even if it sounds weird, I will define this as a Cold rum. It lacks warmth in a sense. F: Kind of buttery and candy sweet. B: Would a buy a bottle of this? No, I’m not into mixology and besides, it’s a quirky rum mostly for showing how perhaps the highest ester level in a rum is represented rather than to drinking occasionally. It´s 2cl cool for sharing but not as a whole bottle.“

„Le rhum de tous les records : le plus d'alcool et le plus d'esters. Et pourtant, il surprend surtout par sa facilité à boire! Fruité avec une belle sucrosité, une petite goutte sur la langue suffit à ce que les arômes se répandent dans toute la bouche. Bon, cela reste un rhum à+85° : j'en boirai sûrement pas deux d'affilé mais l'expérience est intéressante.“
