“The smell is somewhat surprising with a rather unusual lactic acid note, although the aroma on the nose with the typical fruit esters, wood influences and subtle pastry notes and spices is still quite convincing. On the palate, however, a very dominant fruit acid stands out, which comes across too extreme for me and clearly overlays the rest of the profile. Even if the nose still provides a few plus points makes me taste no longer too great joy. For me, the first really disappointing Hampden bottling from 1993. //Update August 2023: Second attempt from a different sample. The lactic acid is gone. While the rum remains on the intense astringent side, even for the 1993 C<>H vintage, I no longer find the offending notes now. Therefore, clear upward correction. Not the best 93, but absolutely on par with the great releases of the vintage.”

“More on the acidic side of things. Intense and fruity. Bitterness on the finish.”

“Entäuschend. Die Nase hat mich durch das würzige mit den medizinalen Noten an Fiji erinnert. Im Mund und im Gaumen aber ist mir die Säure viel zu einnehmend, fast schon essigartig. Mit Wasser wirds noch schlimmer. Finde ihn in Ordnung aber absolut keine Oberliga.”
