How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this Hampden HLCF for its explosive ester funk and ripe tropical fruit—pineapple and banana leap from the glass, with a touch of glue and spice. At 68.5% cask strength, it’s intense yet often praised for balance, opening beautifully with a little water and delivering a very long, warming finish. Highly rated by 169 enthusiasts, it’s a popular pick for bold sipping and even standout Mai Tais.

The goal? To offer you, the rum connoisseur, a place where you can choose with confidence—without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
It was my introduction to tropical fruit ester bombs and I absolutely loved it at first sip. Actually, even at the first breath, because as soon as you open the bottle, the bouquet inevitably makes its way into the entire room. Unimaginably high quality for the issue price and, even from today's perspective, proof of what Hampden is capable of. Exceptionally good.
Once rested this is a lovely rum. Intense from nose to finish. Fruity with nice chemical notes and a long warm finish. My favourite of the day 😊
