How does this rum taste?
World‑class King of Hampden funk
If you already enjoy high‑ester Hampdens like other 1993 or 1990s vintages, this is the one people call the benchmark—same funky DNA, but turned up in balance, depth and finish.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike funky ester-heavy profiles and prefer soft, sweet, easygoing rums.

Il miglior hampden che io abbia mai bevuto.. e ne ho bevuti diversi. Equilibrato in ogni suo elemento. Ananas , solvente, caramello, la giusta quantità di esteri! Semplicemente perfetto. Il finale è mostruoso, estremamente lungo, dolce.
09.05.2016 Evening out with colleagues and good rums. Notes Light to medium dark colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, ester, banana, overripe, polish, light grass. Palate Warm, spicy, light wood, light roasted, citrus, faint glue, fruitcake, medium dry. Finish Long, warm, fruity, wood, faint smoke, ester.
After direct pouring, the nose is still somewhat restrained compared to the DT90 and TRC90 26yo. After standing for a few minutes, however, it really shows what it can do. Less sour than the TRC, for example, but a little woodier with the typical ester and hampden aromas. On the palate there is an intense sweetness that is not found in any of the comparative candidates. The alcohol is also excellently integrated and in the background it still has a dirtiness that is not (or no longer) to be found in the older Hampdens. The perfect ageing time for this type of rum. The finish is exceptionally long and intense. An outstanding rum, and for us the crème de la crème among the Hampdens.
