From the freshly opened bottle, the rum starts off with intense funkiness. Very heavy on the glue and nail polish side of noses. With some time to breath it opens up end presents a nice Hampden nose. Grilled pineapple, some roasted notes and some almond paste mingling with the chemical notes as well as a sensation of freshness akin to fruit acid. Young <>Hs do work really well in book. Same on the palate: I just like this profile at this moderate age and this bottling is a good one of the vintage imo. Very rich on the palate with all the good stuff. Fruits, wood, roasted almonds and some sweetness. While intense, the chemical and glue-y notes are much less pronounced compared to the nose. Delightful stuff.
Once again a nice 2013 <>H bottling. Thanks to DomM for sharing. Brings everything you'd expect from it and even a bit more. Alcohol is well integrated and quite drinkable in my opinion. From memory, this one easily makes it into the top group of the other 2013/2014 <>H from the cross comparison we had already made.
On the nose there are the expected markers you'd expect from a <>H, but the whole is very round and balanced. Quite intense on the palate with lots of fruit and a still pleasant astringency. The finish is expectedly long.
Great Hampden. Seven years of tropical maturation make for a very round, intense spectrum that knows how to inspire. Esters from tropical fruits, citrus aromas, gallant sweetness from the barrel maturation - Hampden fans will find little left to be desired here. A successful release, very good!
