The Whisky Jury Hampden Jamaica Rum C<>H 1993 28yr 58,9%

RX12648 Excellent Pot Still Rum Single Cask 65 bottles Above 250€
“Complex, elegant Hampden; excellent balance of fruit and ester.”

The "Jamaica Rum C<>H" from Hampden distillery, selected by The Whisky Jury, is a highly regarded rum distilled in 1993. Aged for nearly 29 years, this limited release offers rich complexity. Aromas of ester, overripe banana, glue, and baking spices lead to flavors of tropical fruit, pineapple, umami, and vanilla. Its creamy texture balances acidity, fruit, and ester notes perfectly. Hints of wood, grilled meat, and fresh fruits like pear and apple juice add to its unique character. This elegant, cask strength rum (58.9% ABV) is praised for its finely-tuned, high-quality profile and sophisticated, nuanced finish. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs, it stands among the best Hampdens available. Limited to just 65 bottles, it's a rare gem.

“Brine, old cooking fat, nail polish remover, fermented fruit. What doesn't sound very tempting is a finely balanced, highly complex wealth of aromas that make up a high-quality rum. Astringency just tolerable, but too much acidity in the finish for me. Therefore not top of the league for me.”

“Tolles Feuerwerk. Cremige Textur wie bei den anderen Weltklasse Hampdens. Trifft genau die richtige Mitte aus Säure, Frucht und Ester. Super eleganter, leichtfüßiger Rum. Im Abgang leicht metallische Noten.”

“Up to now, I haven't been able to do much with most continentally matured Hampdens or Jamaicans from the 90s (in relation to the price) and have a preference for tropically matured ones. But this one tastes quite good to me and is definitely one of the better/best I've tried. Reminds me of the Salon du Rhum, which I also found very cool.”
