„Nobilis N14 vs. SBS. Crown goes to the Nobilis. While both are extremely nice, the SBS feels more heavy and closed up. The Nobilis almost feels elegant with a very nice balance between esters and notes from the cask. Both are beasts however and I‘m surprised how much I like the actually. Nice cask selection from both bottlers.“

„I like the rum especially in the nose. If I may dare an adventurous comparison: like marzipan doused with warm solvent 😉 Extraordinary!Update 04.04.2022: The is so superbly round and quaffable that I have to add 3 to my 87 points awarded so far. Absolutely successful rum without weaknesses!“

„Surprisingly fruity on the nose! If he stands a little eucalyptus comes in.Also on the palate the fruitiest Hampden I have tasted so far. The finish tastes like a very fruity espresso with a young wood note.The smell is the absolute hammer, which alone would crack the 90 points. Taste is also top and surprisingly drinkable for the almost 70%, but does not quite keep up with the nose.“

„A really nice cask from Hampden that they bottled here. Lightly funky but well balanced/rounded and pretty good ABV integration. Flavours released after 15-20 minutes of rest. The empty glass is wonderful after an hour. Need to find me a bottle for my shelf.“

„sehr runder <>H. Gefällt mir deutlich besser als der S.B.S (RX12623) aus dem gleichen Jahr. Für mich ist er irgendwo zwischen dem ausgezeichneten 2001 Old Brothers (RX9659) und dem 2011 Swell (RX10576).“

„Very nice release. 6 years tropical and 2 years continental. Esters are present, I like the young <>H clearly more than the 2001 bottlings. The alcohol is super integrated in my eyes. Priced at 129€ a fair release and I hope people drink it and it doesn't become a pinball object. Reminds me of the Swell 2011 <>H.Now comes the test in May Tai 5/5 should be in it.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🥰“
