CoR Hampden High Ester Rum Oloroso (catawiki) C<>H 2023

Highly praised as a powerful, oily Hampden with clear Oloroso influence, dark fruits and spice. Community notes great integration of alcohol, though many find the profile focused on sherry over esters.

    How does this rum taste?

    Sherry-driven, powerful Hampden sipper
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like Hampden and sherried finishes, this leans hard into Oloroso and dark fruit while keeping the esters in check—great if you want power without full-on funk overload.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to high ABV, looking for an easygoing sweet rum, or wanting a very funky, ester-forward Hampden without heavy cask influence.

    Aroma

    #5840 09.10.2025 Got new samples from Colours of Rum releases today and I just have to try them. Nose Fresh, medium instense, light wood, varnish, glue, fruity, overripe, ester, cinnamon, dried fruit. Palate Intense, warm, light wood, faint smoke, light salt, light mint, glue, light cherry, faint tannins, dry, light nutts. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, ester, fruits, citrus, light berries, dry, light salt, light nutts. Empty glass Light polish, light leather, light tea, light chocolate, berries.

    Big Hampden 8 Marks Collection x CoR C<>H Cross Tasting: Sherry aromas again clearly perceptible, but weaker than in the 24086. Alcohol better integrated than in the other bottlings of the series.

    Auto-translated

    On the nose: Quite heavy and deep. Strong cask influence. Esters are in the background. Fruity. Cherry. Young wood. Taste: Thick,heavy body with cask influence. Esters in the background. Then it goes deeper on the dark fruits notes, raisin. The high abv is present but integrated. Finish: Medium-long finish. Nutty, fruity notes. Dry. This rum really showcases the heavy sherrycask influence on the rum. The quality is good, but it is pretty one dimentional.

    Oloroso Finish schon gut wahrnehmbar. Aber der C<>H könnte etwas besser mit dem Finish vermählt sein.
