“Wow, this is a lovely and fruity Hampden where you can get the ester notes. Great balance between fruit, spices and smoky wood with a touch of caramel.”

“Not quite the level of the 1993. A good HD 1990, but not a top level for me, so in my eyes a tad too expensive.”

“Great '90 Hampden. Balanced profile of overripe tropical fruit, wood, spice, baking notes, sweetness of caramel and vanilla, plus hints of olive and some tea. A pleasure to drink!”

“Day 12 of the Samples de Luxe calendar. On the palate, despite the esters and thanks to the fruitiness, the sensation is pleasant, almost easy.The finish is a bit disappointing with a medicinal taste replacing the fruit.A beautiful rum, dense and balanced, easy to drink and with character. If I had guessed Hampden, I would never have imagined so many years of aging...”

“A superb continental Hampden with excellent aromatic concentration. A lovely bouquet of exotic fruits (mango, papaya, banana and pineapple) and citrus (lime) joins phenolic notes (esters, glue, solvents and varnish) and pastry and gourmet notes (brown sugar in particular) to produce a homogeneous, well-structured and very tasty juice. Wood has hardly permeated the juice at this stage. The rum is incredibly smooth on the palate. A perfect roundness that displays exotic fruits, citrus and acidity, esters, glue, varnish, vanilla, cinnamon, pepper, pastries (marzipan, molasses, caramel), lightly smoky notes and olive. A very smooth, oily, unctuous, complex rum with outstanding flavors. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is very long, at once fruity with tropical fruit and citrus, phenolic, pastry-like, lightly woody on the barrel, with a touch of smoke and olive. A toppissime rum on every level.”

“Nez : beaucoup de fruits exotiques, très gourmand avec du solvant. Un côté floral / végétal également qui rajoute de la vivacité. Un côté saumure aussi. Avec un côté huiles essentielles derrière également. Avec aération les nez s’améliorent je trouve. Plus gourmand / moins vif. Bouche : côte toasté des hampden, fruits exotiques, boisé. Un côté torréfié / fruits à coques, fruits secs. Entrée en bouche super douce/gourmande puis y’a le côté toasté qui arrive avec une légère acidité. On a moins l’astringence / l’amertume du bois que d’habitude, avec du pain toasté/ brûlé qui vient aussi. Et une gourmandise du fruit qui est équilibrée et qui complète le tout. En tout cas très évolutif et changeant au fil de l’aération. Finale longue.”
