That Boutique-Y Rum Company Hampden Secret Distillery #11 C<>H 2007 15yr 63,5%

"Unmistakably a superb Hampden. Alcohol well integrated. Very fruity nose typical notes of pineapple 'papaya ' banana and ne fat portion of ester. On the palate similar initially a short sweetness but within seconds is slain by the ester ... the mouth space fills out schööön fruity with some time in the mouth also comes a slight bitterness and wood notes to it. I like very well even if he does not reach my personal reference (Flensburg JMC2007) he comes very close. Great mixer in May Tai 🤗"

"A real aromatic hit, this Hampden knows how to exalt the senses. The nose is a concentrate of funk, with powerful phenolic and medicinal notes (thanks to the C<>H mark) that embalm the nostrils with solvents, glue, varnish, camphor and esters. The fruit is extremely ripe, very exotic and gripping on the nose. A hint of spice and pastry add roundness to this extreme profile. The attack on the palate is very tasty and fleshy. Underneath this dry, oily juice, overripe, exotic fruit competes with medicinal and estery notes in a brutal battle on the palate. The result is an aromatic concentrate as rich as it is powerful. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is the Achilles' heel here: although it's of decent length, the aromas become much duller, leaving only a vague memory of the opulence present on the palate. While it's a shame to end on a more subdued note, this Hampden remains an undeniable and reasonably-priced value. A recommended rum for lovers of new sensations in Jamaica."

"Edit: Crosstasting C◇H 1. kill devil 2. FRC C◇H 3. the Duchess 4. TBRC Frankenstein 5. The Whisky Jury Very nice representative, actually quite nice, but with the price it is a bit too high in my opinion."

"I had been looking forward to this one for a while. The "Zombie" fulfills exactly what it promises. Namely to be a very good, typical Hampden. Tropical fruits en masse, esters, astringent. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. Delicious, that's how it should be!"

"In direct comparison with the FRC Hampden C<>H 2007 (RX17125) I find both to be pretty similar spirit-wise but it seems that the TBRC one was laid down in a way more active cask which has added a nice smoothness and complexity. Thanks to MrRumantic for the sample."

"C<>H is my favorite mark! This is amazingly round for its younger age and brings everything a Hampden needs. To the very great vintage 1990 he comes perhaps not approached, but who is already close."

"Wow, a great Jamaican. Initially very fruity on the nose with pineapple and overripe banana. Typical nail varnish and solvent notes, slightly spicy with a hint of mace. After a while, more and more vanilla comes through. Very intense on the palate, fruity and also very tart at the beginning. Pineapple and fermented fruit predominate here too. The finish is very intense, warm and astringent. Great fun and a very good PLV (RRP, not today's prices 😉)"

"Reasonable price for the quality"

"An absolutely great Hampden. The nose is super intense and funky. Nicely balanced on the palate with more barrel influence. Funky all the way. Makes really fun."
