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.

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

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.

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.

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, 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

26% LFCH 201174% HGML 2019In direct comparison with '19, '20 and '21: most fermented and almost vegatable on the nose; darkest along with the '20; most esters at about 800 g/hL and sweetest on the palate of all. Quite different from all three of its predecessors!Nose: as mentioned, seems very fermented and vegatable, almost in the direction of artichoke, which is clearly due to the high proportion of very young high-ester HGML. Besides the esters, there's a lot of vinegar, but masked by honey. Pineapple is just as absent here as banana. 83Palate: very sweet attack with decent esters and pineapple. Seems creamy. The sweetness now moves towards licorice, with vanilla and umami mixing in. Toffee comes out the back. 87I like it better on the palate than on the nose. Hearing esters suit the GH well.

The nose was mostly overripe fruit but after 15 minutes that lovely nail polish, solvents smell arrived. Very well balanced taste and the rum went perfectly with my cigar which isn’t the case that often.

Nez Hampden. Bouche Hampden. D'année en année, pas compliqué de s'habituer au nouveau Great House! Celui de 2022 est très réussi. Meilleur que le 2021 car mieux fondu selon moi. Moins olive. Plus porté sur le fruit et plus acide, dans le bon sens du terme. Dommage que j'ai raté la bouteille à quelques secondes... Impression confirmée sur un 2e test. Acidité très présente. La finale est chaude et fruitée. Très agréable. Encore plus déçu d'avoir raté la bouteille.

I like it well. Is of course always particularly strong when you open the bottle fresh. But from memory, I would definitely say that the banana (and also very slightly strawberry) here already makes a difference to the 21 and 20. Just on the nose, there's a wonderful note of föambé banana playing around the pineapple. Yum.

Unfortunately, a bit flatter and less complex than the predecessors. There is some explosiveness missing for a banger.Overall solid Hampden, but I would not get me a whole bottle.

On the nose we feel a great potential. But it clearly lacks funkiness and explosiveness in the mouth... The least good of the 4 in my eyes

Dès l'ouverture du sample, une belle odeur gourmande vanillé et fruitée envahie la pièce. Au nez, le marqueur indélébile est au 1er plan suivi de la vanille et du caramel. Après quelques minutes dans le verre la banane et l'ananas s'invitent timidement. En bouche les fruits tropicaux dominent accompagnés par la gourmandise caramel/vanille. Les épices, un léger boisé et biensur les solvants si caractéristiques dynamisent le tout. La finale est longue vanillée et une belle fraîcheur réglisse.

Very nice blend, a nice balance with a nice story. Not too exuberant, but offers a very nice moment of rum and invites to come back.

I decided shortly after the purchase to open the bottle dirket. I was totally positively surprised. For me, an absolutely great experience. Very fruity, intense Esther notes light wood notes, absolutely good stuff. Purchase was definitely worth it. Find it now already a pity not to have bought a 2nd bottle.

A bit like the Lagavulin of rums - a striking balance between classic Jamaican funk, with big notes of overripe tropical fruit, and a medicinal edge with a hefty hit of glue and nail polish on the nose and menthol on the palate. Lengthy warm finish like a good scotch, with reminders of the funk dancing around the mouth for minutes afterward. Also drinks surprisingly easy for 55%.

It's very good, superb blend from hampden as usual but it's not my favorite of the GH series. I find it lighter, less fragrant. It remains top all the same.

One of the best Jamaicans for this price. Round, funky without end, yellow fruit, peach, ester and so much more. Perfect 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
