How does this rum taste?
Legendary 1993 Hampden ester bomb
If you already love Hampden Great House or other high-ester bottlings and want a rarer, older, more intense take, this delivers that classic pineapple-funk dialed up with extra depth.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or solvent/varnish notes, and value-focused buyers expecting a soft, easy-sipping or budget-friendly Jamaican rum.
The first sip tastes. Fruits, citrus, a little salt. Second sip. Tastes even better to me. Some wood, but not too much. Pineapple, perhaps not the ingenious barbecue pineapple from the grill known from some Hampdens, but already noticeably a fruit basket, as you can otherwise only drag away on Sunday mornings at the Hamburg fish market. The alcohol is well integrated.

Auto-translatedUnfortunately, this Hampden disappointed my expectations. The nose is really fruity and funky....as expected. But it is very astringent, almost undrinkable. Even a few drops of water don't make it any better.
Auto-translatedDie Nase ist intensiv und komplex und gibt alles her was man von einem C<>H erwartet. Am Gaumen richtig schön intensiv und auch leicht adstringend. Vanille und würzige Noten sind vorhanden, dazu trop. Früchte und eine leichte Marzipan-Note.
Sorry for the rating but it's really not my cup of tea... after another tasting it's just undrinkable, the varnish is omnipresent on the nose (nothing really titillating for me) and on the palate it's just undrinkable. It's a personal opinion but I can't do that... very surprised that it's rated 88... for 385 euros there's a lot better... really better...
