How does this rum taste?
According to RumX reviewers, it's the rare combination of high‑ester Hampden funk and remarkable balance that stands out. Expect ripe pineapple, overripe tropical fruit and classic glue esters over a supportive woody backbone, with alcohol superbly integrated and a long, evolving finish. Give it time in the glass to open fully. A popular, strongly rated 35‑year HGML from 89 reviews—and a limited 322‑bottle release.

RumX Day10: What a treat! This Hampden is once again absolutely top! It has a balanced maturity and is not as impetuous as many others, without denying its origin! All the expected flavors are represented, just a little more mature and subtle! Great Tasting evening with Dr. Django: Can only confirm my assessment of danals, first class bottling
It's amazing that this rum still exists. A very fine Hampdel that has not lost its DNA despite being stored for ages. Classic pineapple, moderate wood and very harmonious spices. Very tasty and relaxed to drink.
Extremely well balanced Hampden. Fruits, cask, spices, a faint sweetness and a hint of bacon. Outstanding stuff!
