This is a really nice Hampden release. Very round and tasty with lots of fruits and a balanced level of esters. I do like it quite a bit - recommended. If you are a „drinker“ don‘t fall for any inflated „collectors“ prices, however. While this is nice, it is not outstanding and there are plenty of Hampdens available which can compete.

Slight devaluation after I tested it against GH 22 and GH 20

Tasted as a 5cl sample.Olfactory initially a lot of natural yogurt / butter, fruit, leather and esters, as known from Hampden. Then intense flavor of fermented fruit / ester, spices and compared to other Hampdens I have tasted quite sweet after honey. Then a bit smoky in the finish. Alcohol is very well integrated and overall I like it very much. Edit: At the second tasting, instead of yogurt I have rather expired sour milk in the nose, which somehow does not smell disgusting but together with the fruit gives an interesting harmony.Edit 2: Sample empty, still wonderfully interesting rum with great flavor profile. Absolutely recommendable.

With a to long finish this is the third release of Great House. This one is close to the other two, but I would have loved a higher ABV. In my mind that would have pushed the score a bit higher. I like the light smoky oak from nose to finish. On top of that there is fruit and a hint of caramel, tobacco and leather. The funk is there but the price to quality is very good.

On the nose beautiful fruity aromas of tropical fruits, mango, papaya, mirabelle and banana. Esters notes rather in the background.On the palate it continues fruity. Here also comes a pleasant note of confectionery and spices. Very round and successful. Fits naturally into the GH series. Soon again a cross tasting.

Tasting day 1: Ananas! Nice nose and taste. There is a strong fruity sweetness, that goes on to a dry aftertaste. All sorts of esters play around, and I have them in an aftertaste even 1 hour later. Tasting day 2: I have some additional fruit in the nose, like pear, and the taste is much better to my liking, this time. I attribute this to giving the sample some additional time to breathe. Very good!

Vitamin C fruits found in an alcoholic not quite pleasant spiciness, which fortunately comes only in the finish. In taste but super tasty with a nice fruit sweetness. Somewhat smoky, for my taste too little typical HD Ester notes, which are found here rather only in the nose.

This is tame but typical Hampden DNA: overripe pineapple and esters, rather young profile, slight wood influence, rather little depth.The mouth is more interesting: Super dry and after the pineapple ester program comes another salty, vegetal note that brings a level of complexity that the nose doesn't reach.The finish is pleasant, not overly long and without surprises. Alcohol is well integrated. At MSRP this is a super rum, but why exactly is there such hype around this bottling?

im direkten Vergleich mit dem GH20. Erster Eindruck an der Nase: der GH21 hat mehr von den vergorenen Früchten, und auch die typisch buttrigen Noten, die es beim <>H Marque gibt, sind beim GH21 etwas stärker vorhanden. Der GH20 bringt mehr Balance zwischen Würze und Ester-Noten mit. Ob das an der etwas anderen Zusammensetzung liegt (LFCH/<>H vs OWH/<>H) oder gegebenenfalls einem etwas anderen Verhältnis der beiden Marques zueinander, kann ich nicht abschätzen. Der GH21 ist auf gewohnt hohem Niveau, aber der GH20 trifft es noch ein wenig besser für mich.

Deutlich milder als die Vorgänger. Auch durch die 55%. Angenehm zu trinken, aber keine Offenbarung wie die Vorgänger.

Third expression in the Hampden Great House series, this one has all the characteristics of Trelawny rums: there is a god amount of funk (with tropical fruits such as banana, pineapple and mango, but not so overwhelming as a CH marque), than a fair amount of mineral and flower that creates a very elegant background. I also sense a sweet and tart note, such as a delicious cream with some lemon peels. To round up everything, there is leather and some wood for some depth! On the palate, it as a very silky texture, ages away from the typical roughness of other wild Jamaican rum… Definitely worth buying it ;)

A typical Hampden with character. The nose is very fruity, concentrated on tropical fruits (mango, passion fruit, banana and pineapple) and is guided by notes of esters, solvents, spices and wood, enhanced by a floral touch. In the mouth, we are on a rather heavy and powerful profile on which smoky, fermented, spicy and honeyed notes come to disturb the initial fruity frame. The finish is long and diverges sometimes towards fruity and floral notes, sometimes towards spicy, smoky and vanilla notes, which end on a bitter note. A rum at once complete, greedy and powerful.

Vergleich zwischen 19, 20 und 21: Im Vergleich am meisten Ester und Wumms und das trotz nur 55 % statt bisher 59 % (19 und 20). Weniger buttrig als der 20er. Dafür mehr Süße. Bisher mein Favorit von den 3, wenn auch nur knapp.

Für mich bringt der Great House 2021 alles mit was ich mir wünsche von einem Hampden. Ester, Funk aber auch ein ausgewogenes rundes Trinkgefühl, was ich eigentlich nur von älteren Hampdens kenne. Hier punktet der Blend. Wie viele Andere auch finde ich die Ester Bomben von Hampden sehr geil. Aber der 2011er Velier LFCH war schon immer einer meiner liebsten. Das hier ist die totale Steigerung davon. Die 55% find ich passend und nicht störend.

50% LFCA 2011 50% <>H 2018 Im direkten Vergleich mit ‘19, ‘20 und ‘22: ganz neue Zusammensetzung, geschätzt 710 Ester und damit mehr als Doppelte wie die beiden Vorgänger; wenig intensiv, wie der 19er, in der Nase und mehr Essig; am hellsten zusammen mit dem 21er, mehr Ester und speckig am Gaumen. Nase: als erstes angenehme Ester mit einem deutlichen Anteil Essig, wirkt auch leicht buttrig. Dahinter auch gleich Ananas mit Zitrone und Banane. Er bekommt hinten raus mehr Karamell und etwas Holz. Von der Nase Vorberichte der schwächste von allen bisher. Am Gaumen deutlich anders als die Vorgänger: ein höherer Ester-Anteil, der hier aber mit deutlich Umami, fast schon Speck hinterlegt ist. Wirkt dadurch fast cremig. Dann natürlich wieder Ananas und Karamell mit süßer Lakritze. Gefällt mir!!
