Fragrant, fruity, classic Hampden with great ester intensity.

Tanta frutta e tanto equilibrio
Ce jus est « whaouuuu » 🤩
Nose: Light wood, faint smoke, fruity, overripe, ester
RumX community voice

Packed with overripe banana, pineapple, and a wave of esters, this is classic Hampden with a touch more balance. One to try if you lean toward fruity, funky Jamaican rums.

    How does this rum taste?

    This Hampden 1993, bottled by Valinch & Mallet, leans heavily into the ripe tropics—banana, pineapple, and papaya keep appearing across notes and comments. RumX members call out "tanta frutta e tanto equilibrio" (Giorgio Garotti) and the trademark Hampden esters, with glue and varnish signals swirling in the fruity mix. Fans celebrate its balance and long finish, while some point to its "Säureproblem" (@Mentallo) though they note it's better balanced here than in other bottlings.

    Ho sempre grandi aspettative su questo imbottigliatore italiano che mette fuori spesso delle perle nascoste!Come in questo caso un grandissimo hampden! Tanta frutta e tanto equilibrio e un ottima intensità di sapori! Chapeau!

    Ce jus est « whaouuuu » 🤩 C’est superbement fait, avec une explosion de fruits et un alcool particulièrement bien intégré. Tous les marqueurs des hampden sont bien présents et bien restitués. Quel régal 😍 je kiff grave 😍

    ... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
