How does this rum taste?
RumX members praise this 1998 Hampden HLCF for its assertive high‑ester funk: tropical fruit and pineapple on the nose, then dry, powerful flavors of varnish and oak. At 61.9% cask strength and 23 years, it finishes long and woody—ideal for fans of big Jamaica profiles. Some reviewers find the alcohol a bit hot and the character less distinctive than other ’98s. Reviewed by 47 enthusiasts; only 255 bottles.

Relatively poorly integrated alcohol. Somewhat bitter .... Banana, pineapple and a few ester notes make themselves felt in the nose and on the palate .... but they don't make themselves comfortable. Tastes somehow-->like intended but not really "successful". Quite ok no more no less.
Got a sample of this rum for free from RumX. It’s a pot still distilled Hampden distilled in 1998 whereafter it’s continental aged for 23 years in an ex-Rum barrel before bottled in 255 bottles at 61,9%. Overall a great Hampden HLCF that’s complex, funky and esters rich.
#4187 This is not a bad Jamaica especially when looking at the price tag. A nice ester profile with lots of fruit and medium roasted wood profile. The palate is dry and warm and the finish long. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass has some polish and tar.
Upon opening the sample, that wonderful hampdentypical ester/fruit nose immediately pours out and lingers for a long time. This is joined by a heavy fermented sweetness of tropical flowers.The palate is amazingly balanced... the relationship between fruit, sweetness, wood, esters and alcohol is quite balanced .The finish is more on the woody side.A really good Hampden, but to the top it is still missing something
