„Had a nice evening with friends and a few good rums. Once rested this is a really nice and fruity release. I like the funk and esters in the profile and also the citrus notes in the background. Overall pretty good but the price is too high in my opinion.“

„Nose focused on citrus-ey and sour notes. Most Funk on the nose out of the group. Most astringent and funky one on the palate. So far I liked all out of the 2001 <>H batch. Looking at a close field: KD > TB > RC-M > RC Sidenote: makes an excellent Mai Tai.“

„Überreife Banane, Kiwi, die typischen HD Ester Noten merkt man hier sofort, trotzdem sehr mild in der Nase. Die Esternoten ziehen sich auch wunderbar durch Geschmack und Abgang der recht trocken ist. Wenn der Rum etwas geatmet hat entwickelt sich eine krasse Fruchtgranate die intensiver nicht sein dürfte. Für eine Wertung über 90 fehlt nur eine bessere Integration des Alkohol.“

„Der hat mich schon auf dem 10. GRF überzeugt. Nase: total ausgewogene Mischung aus Frucht und Ester. Sehr schöne Mandarinen/Zitronennoten und etwa süßlich-säuerigem, Richtung Kiwi und Stachelbeere. Lecker! Dazu dann eine feine, herbe Süße von Ahornsirup und die obligatorische Essignote, die hier überhaupt nicht aufdringlich ist. Gaumen: Sehr rund und ausgewogen. Angenehme Ester, eine leichte Bitternote von Limettenschale und wieder die Kiwi. Schöner Klebstoff mit Politur. Dahinter leicht Malz, ein wenig Bittermandel, Anis und sogar Speck-Anklänge. Ein total guter Hampden der alles hat.“

„Mitgebracht vom 10. GRF. Dort hat er schon überzeugt und sich nicht zuletzt durch sein PLV gegen einige andere Hampdens durchgesetzt. Insgesamt eher ein entspannterer Vertreter der Hampden-Fraktion, aber nicht langweilig. Sehr trocken, dafür durch sein Mark und die geringeren Ester weniger adstringent. Alkohol nahezu nicht präsent, und das trotz immerhin 58%. Alles in allem sehr rund und lecker! Der trinkt sich einfach schnell weg ;-)“

„Nase verspricht viel Frucht & Funk erstmal, geschmacklich ist es mir persönlich aber dann zu wenig Frucht und zu viel Anis, Marzipan, Klebstoff und auch eine etwas störende Säure die mir nicht so richtig taugt. insgesamt einfach nicht das Hampden Aroma was ich mag, da kann der 92er Hampden deutlich mehr und ist komplexer ... hintenraus noch etwas Speck, Salz-Lake und verbrannte Noten, sowie Überreife Banane & Kiwi. so richtig warm werde ich mit dem hier auch beim mittlerweile 3. Versuch einfach nicht.“
