    "Nose already strong 2007er C<>H, but in the mouth I'm missing something. Solid representative, but far from being a Benchnark"

    "This is a very nice rum and if you're lucky you can still get your hands on one. A fruity release with an intense palate that has a light floral note to it. The finish is very long and warm with light honey flavours. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up very light mint and butterscotch."

    "Initially restrained on the nose and also in the mouth something unround in the finish. Needs a little time, but still a top rum. In tasting with FRC 2007 and WJ 2007"

    "What a pleasure this Hampden 2007 is, the nose is incredible: esters and ripe pineapple galore. A very light woodiness. In the mouth, the alcohol speaks first. It warms the palate. Then it explodes. Incredible. An aromatic bomb loaded with esters, fruits, pungent spices. The finish is long and smooth, the heat remains, the fruits too. A bomb."
