How does this rum taste?
The Single Cask Rum C<>H from Hampden, distilled in 1990 and bottled by Duncan Taylor, reflects a top-tier Jamaican rum. With an ABV of 52.9%, this limited edition of 294 bottles is cherished for its tropical fruit aromas and overripe fruit flavors, notably pineapple, papaya, and mango. User impressions highlight a balanced, intense flavor with notes of vanilla and light smoky finish. Esteemed for its engaging nose and integrated alcohol, it offers a dry, fruity finish. While some find it slightly less intense than other Hampden offerings, it remains a beloved choice among enthusiasts for its complexity and balance.

Excellent Hampden. Beautiful nose and perfect mouthfeel. Perfectly integrated alcohol. A rum to fall in love with!
Fantastic Hampden at drinking strength!
05.03.2016 Finally back in Kolding again after some years at Messe C in Fredericia. Much easier to get home when it's within walking distance. Had my good friend from Singapore visit for a month and that ended up in a lot of tasting 😊 Tony brought this one, a bottle birth that became very popular and almost ended its life at the event. Notes. Nose: wood, glue, intense, ester, fruity, banana. Palate: Intense, balanced, wood, ester, banana, citrus. Finish: very long, fruity, pineapple, ester, wood, light smoke, medium dry.
Compared to TheRumCask 26yo, the nose of the Duncan Taylor is somewhat more restrained and not quite as deep and complex - but the emphasis here is definitely on "in comparison", otherwise the relationship and the underlying vintage are clearly recognizable. On the palate and in the finish, it is not quite as acidic and aniseed-heavy as the TRC, but a little drier. At the back, two of us tasters also had an association with roasted/caramelized almonds, which were not found in the TRC. At cask strength, this rum would probably have been on a par with the TRC, but that's all complaining on a high level. 90 points
