How does this rum taste?

Nose of overripe tropical fruits and nuanced esters; the Great House 2022 delivers a balanced rum with a punchy 55% ABV. Gentle bitterness, less complexity compared to predecessors, yet admirably integrated alcohol makes for a delightful sip. Limited but cherished release.

“Very nice fruit forwards nose with backed banana, pineapple and a basket of other tropical fruits. Same on the palate: quite some fruits and a little less pronounced dark notes.”

“26% LFCH 2011 74% HGML 2019 In direct comparison with '19, '20 and '21: the most fermented and almost vegatable on the nose; the darkest together with the '20; with approx. 800 g/hL the most esters and the sweetest on the palate of all. Quite different from all three predecessors! Nose: as already mentioned, very fermented and veggy, almost artichoke-like, which is clearly due to the high proportion of very young high-ester HGML. Besides the esters, there's a lot of vinegar, but covered by honey. Pineapple is just as absent here as banana. 79 Palate: very sweet attack with plenty of esters and pineapple. Has a creamy effect. The sweetness now moves towards liquorice, with a mix of vanilla and umami. Toffee is added at the end. 83 I like it better on the palate than on the nose. Hearing esters suits the GH well.”

“Clearly fruitier than its brothers GH 21 and GH 20. The blend seems somewhat younger than in previous years.my ranking GH 20 > GH 22 > GH 21”

“This one lives up to its predecessors in quality. Price to quality is very good at release though it was gone in a flash from the stores. Well balanced and fruity with wood and vanilla as well as light ester notes. Love it but would have loved a larger release of bottles.”

“The new Hampden Great House 2022 edition is distinguished by its mastery and balance of flavors, both olfactory and gustatory. Typical ripe exotic fruit aromas and phenolic notes (esters, solvents and varnish) are found along with more floral, herbal, mineral, wood and vanilla notes. The palate does not deceive the nose and is perhaps slightly more spicy, while keeping this control of flavors to avoid the overdose of funk. The finish, average in length, is dry but quite round, with some leather notes in complement. A great success for the "classic" range of the distillery.”

“Hampden, Great House - both the distillery and the series are big names. The bottling from this year confirms the trend that has been apparent since the second bottling: younger and rather in the middle range of the ABV, far away from possible cask strengths. The blend this year consists probably to a large extent of a fairly young HGML, which is noticeable in the profile: many esters, thereby rather of the tangy variety, provide a fruity, almost going into the herbal flavor profile that one has found so far less in the other bottlings. Through the dilution, however, these esters are quite well-behaved and not too demanding and give for me a round overall picture. Certainly not the strongest of the series, but a tasty blend that you can drink well!”

“The 22 is again a really good blend. From memory I locate him rather direction of the 21s, the 20s was still somewhat more balanced.”

“Fruity, captivating aroma, wonderfully oily texture, perfectly integrated alcohol. The only slightly irritating thing is that the rum does not run down the glass in expected streaks, but rather forms clear drops on the glass wall. But that does not detract from the great taste, of course.”

“I like it better than the GH 2021 - without having drunk them side by side. Alcohol is super integrated. For me, it's also clearly ahead in a direct comparison with the Great House 2023.”

“Fruity, floral and somewhat bitter that describes the GH22 probably quite well. After a few minutes in the glass makes the beautiful open and it rise pineapple, papaya and mango in the nose ... Some ester (glue, solvents are always there but still very restrained) many floral notes remind you that it is a young blend. Alcohol barely noticeable in the mouth .... Primarily fruity and fresh, it fills the mouth without giving a clear message.... always there this slight bitterness. For me a good blend if not the best of the Great House series”

“In direkt comparsion to the 2021 version, again less powerfull, seems diluted 😉. Alcohol is integrated very well. Nose: Classic Hampden with a nice smell of strawberries🤤 Yummy Mouth: Classic hampden with solvents, ester, overripe fruits and a lot of pineapple but with much less power to the 2021, more like a daily sipper. Finish: medium-long, funky, fruity, woody. My impressions of the Hampden GH series: 2020>2019>2021>2022”
