    "RumX Awards 2023 and re-tasted 6 months later. Despite its age, the esters are very present without dominating. Buttery, nicely acidic, lemony, overripe banana, grilled bacon and yellow fruit make up a nose that remains balanced despite its complexity. The attack is lively and explosive, with fat (butter) tempering the fire and fruit filling the mouth. Yellow fruit (pear and apple) and young wood. The finish is long, elegant and fresh. No flaws here, everything is clean and precise. The wood is perfectly integrated. The fruit remains right to the end. In the empty glass, you discover an unprecedented sweetness, with the wood clearly perceptible. The favorite rum of this top RumX selection."

    "Hampden bomb. There's a lot going on. Classic HD profile but at the top level. Intense like the HV C<>H. But very mild at the same time. Tastes very cool. Age has left its mark on this Hampden. Lots of esters in the form of pineapple, citrus and almond. Really fun."

    "Let's see if the high expectations are achieved...The first thing that comes to me from the glass is pineapple marzipan and a sweetness associated with it. The other Hampden markers like glue and ester are not missing. The alcohol is only noticeable at the beginning, after 40min I can smell deep into the glass without the alcohol interfering. In the background I find a faint smoky note and fresh white wine. Could I smell it for hours!On the palate I experience the great effect that the rum 1-2 seconds "lunges" to then throw itself with force on the taste buds and provoke salivation. The rum remains present for a long time but the intensity quickly decreases. It remains a dry mouthfeel and light smoke.The price of a bottle is another matter."

    "Nice Hampden with surprisingly little wood for 32y in the barrel. Overall, a little too much acidity for me personally, but still delicious!🙏 However, I like the slightly younger vintage much better in comparison."
