Very tasty! Great nose, in the first moment when you take a sip it has briefly a somehow unpleasant mouthfeel. However, this fades very quickly, then spreads a great flavor palette in the mouth! The rum develops from rather acidic ester notes to a sweetish pear with a slight eucalyptus note.

Stands out extremely positively in a direct comparison of the two2016 Hampdens, which were released under the aegis of Velier. Clearly more harmonious and with far better integration of the alcohol.

Mit ein, zwei Tropfen Wasser funktioniert dieser Rum wunderbar. Er ist harmonisch aber auch vielschichtig. Eher auf der würzigen Seite und weniger Funk. Er wirkt älter als die 5 Jahre. Der Rum hat nach wie vor ein sehr gutes PLV.

Cross-tasting mit RX27 & RX11980 Muss meine Initiale Bewertung doch deutlich anheben. Im direkten Vergleich besser als der neue Hampden HLCF Classic 2017, aber doch ein Ecke hinter dem Velier HLCF 2010

What I like about this rum is how well the ABV has been integrated. A very well balanced rum indeed. The price is stiil up among the others though. The nose is fruity with ester, waxes, honey, chocolate and vanilla. The palate is warm, complex and extremely well balanced with fruits, honey, sugarcane, chocolate and vanilla as well as a nice smoky touch. The finish is long and warm with pineapple, vanilla and again that lovely smoky note.

wirkt irgendwie als hätte er mehr als nur die 5 Jahre auf dem Buckel. An der Nase sehr rund, und es gibt viele Nuancen zu entdecken: vergorene- und kandierte Früchte, Birne, Rauchspeck, Olive, Butter-Croissant. Am Gaumen rauchig, Mirabellen, Birne, kandierte Früchte und Salzlake.

Un Hampden au profil typique et maîtrisé. Le nez attaqué sur les esters et les fruits tropicaux mûrs, mais offre de belles notes pâtissières, beurrées et des fruits confits par la suite. La bouche se veut intense et saisissante avec les fruits exotiques, une pointe d’olive, et surtout une saveur fumée et de viande qui donnent du caractère au rhum. La finale est assez longue et se prolonge sur la même trame de fumée et de fruits exotiques. L’alcool y est très bien intégré. Un Hampden solide pour son faible compte d’âge.

Ce qu'on attend d'un Hampden de cet âge là et à ce degré d'alcool. Le premier nez est sur l'ananas, l'olive et une pointe de fumée. Avec l'ouverture, on retrouve une note gourmande. qui me rappelle la poire pochée. En bouche c'est gras et fruité. La finale est relativement longue et sèche, sur les epices et la fumée. L'ensemble est une belle réussite. Meilleur que le Habitation Velier H à mon goût.

In der Nase noch einfach High Ester ist dies ein Sehr runder und schöner Hampden, Alkohol ist wunderbar integriert. Schade das er wegen des Preises und der tollen Fotos meist eher in der Sammlerecke verstaubt.

On retrouve les solvants et fruits murs habituels de chez hampden avec des notes fumées qui ressortent. On ne sent pas les 60%. il faut que j'y revienne pour affiner ma note de degustation
