    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Hampden for its superb balance and perfectly integrated 54.5% ABV. Expect vibrant pineapple and tropical fruit over vanilla-caramel, estery funk and a gentle smoky touch. Creamy, oily and evolving with air, it finishes long and balanced. A popular choice on RumX with 61 reviews and strong buyer confidence, this 31-year C<>H from 1990 (228 bottles) rewards unhurried sipping.

    Day 12 of the Samples de Luxe calendar and tasted again a year and a half later. Jamaica and Hampden are evident on the nose. Funky and fruity, lots of tropical fruit. On the palate, despite the esters and thanks to the fruitiness, the sensation is pleasant, almost easy with a little silkiness. The finish is a little disappointing, with a bitter, medicinal taste replacing the fruit. A fine rum, dense and balanced, easy to drink and with character. If I'd guessed Hampden, I'd never have imagined so many years of aging...

    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.

    Tastes quite good to me ... often these old 1990s Jamaicans are too soft for me. Here is a great balance of roundness but still enough pep. However, I like the 1993 sister bottling a little better (from memory)
