CoR Hampden Jamaica No. 7 HLCF 1998 23yr 58,7%
The Jamaica No. 7 HLCF by The Colours of Rum, distilled in 1998 at the Hampden distillery, offers a rich, complex profile. This 23-year-old, cask strength rum (58.7% ABV) is characterized by its high ester content and distinctive aromas of ester, pineapple, and fermented fruits, with subtle notes of glue. The taste reveals tropical and overripe fruits like banana, paired with a dry finish and a hint of roasted wood. Although some find it less complex than other 1998 Hampdens, the rum's unique character shines with its engaging mix of fruity and funky notes. Ideal for those who appreciate the depth of aged pot still rums, this limited release of only 247 bottles is a collector’s delight.

“This Hampden is not bad, but for me it is an absolute disappointment! Smells and tastes like a Hampden light. It fails to deliver, especially on the palate and in the finish. The alcohol is poorly integrated.”

“Nose on this bottling is significantly less fibrant and engaging compared to the TRC and Sponge ‘98s. More muted yet with sharper edges to it.”

“Unfortunately, expectations were not met here either. Alcohol better integrated here than in No.6. In addition to tropical fruits and minimal marzipan, there is somehow a salty note on the nose (yes, you can smell salt 😅🤣) but that somehow bothers me here. Alcohol is also quite okay on the palate. But there is less fruit here ... more wood and bitter notes. More of an easy sipper ... if it weren't for the price.”
