How does this rum taste?
- High ester complexity
- Tropical fruit aromas
- Good aging integration
The No. 46 HD (13. German Rum Festival) <>H from Jamaica's Hampden distillery, bottled by Nobilis Rum, offers an intriguing experience. Distilled in 2014 and aged for a decade, it showcases a robust profile with 68.5% ABV. The rum presents a high ester character with prominent tropical fruit, ester, and marzipan notes, accompanied by offsetting glue-like aromas. It is praised for complex taste layers and harmonious integration despite high alcohol content. However, some consider it a bit one-dimensional with a lack of pronounced fruity notes relative to its flagship esters.

"I first tried at the GRF and i really enjoyed it, so I took one bottle home 😬😎 When I got home, I tried it again at my leisure and gave it more time to open up. The result is a top rum in which the 68% and the barrel is very well integrated. 👍🏻👌🏻"
"Typical Hampden nose with pineapple, glue and so on. Unfortunately also a little alcoholic. Also very good on the palate, as expected. The finish is also typical Hampden and without surprise. These inflationary high ester Hampden bottlings are quite lulling and are very similar. The intensity increases dramatically in the high-ester range in particular, but the range often decreases too. I would like to see a little more experimentation, like the Ricci family with their blends."
"And here's another Ester Hampden from the 2024 Rum Festival in Berlin. Unfortunately, this one didn't really convince me either. Unfortunately not an outlier from the diverse range of <>H from the 2013/2014 series, rather a bottling that can't quite keep up with the others."
"GRF 2024 fair tasting. Good Hampden from 2014, slightly drier on the finish, with plenty of classic Jamaican notes. Solid selection, fits in seamlessly with the 2014 releases already available without standing out."
