    How does this rum taste?

    • Intense tropical fruit profile
    • Distinctive ester funk
    • Surprisingly balanced for its strength

    Tropical fruit and powerful ester notes headline Hampden's unaged HGML, with overripe pineapple, banana, and a complex kick of solvents, pepper, and buttery undertones. RumX tasters call it intense, funky, and richly aromatic, with a roasty, chocolatey, nutty touch surfacing for those who seek depth beyond just fruit. This is a spirited choice for fans of bold, high-ester Jamaican rums—explore it if you crave complexity and character in your glass.

    "Not too bad either and this one has a very nice nose in the empty glass after a while. There is also a very light roasted note on this one."

    "Tasting of the 8 Hampden Marks and re-tasting a year later. The tasting is very similar to that of a year ago. A nose dominated by solvents, overripe pineapple and esters. A complex nose, but with less fruit than the other marks. The palate is less aromatic, more alcoholic, with a persistent woody tannin. The higher the esters, the longer the finish. The empty glass gives the same astonishing impression of woodiness and tannins, and is also reminiscent of a Scotch whisky. Not the most balanced or fruity."

    "Der letzte für mich aus der 8 Marks Collection, diesmal der HGML. Auf jeden Fall überwiegt hier schon der Ester in Nase und Gaumen. Außerdem die obligatorischen tropischen Früchte. Am Gaumen kommen dann noch Lösungsmittel dazu."

    "Know the chemistry of your Hampden rum! The 8-mark set is very informative and instructive. The pineapple is very dominant in the HGML mark. High ester content! Very pleasing. This rum has an exciting toasty chocolate nuttiness to the usual fruit basket and it's complex in the mouth too."
