    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members rave about the balance: huge Hampden funk with pineapple esters and overripe fruit, yet the alcohol is perfectly integrated. On the palate, tropical fruit and pineapple meet a refined woody backbone, finishing long and dry. Many note it needs time in the glass to fully open. A world-class 1983 HGML at 58.9% from Hampden, limited to 322 bottles and popular with 89 reviews.

    Extremely well balanced Hampden. Fruits, cask, spices, a faint sweetness and a hint of bacon. Outstanding stuff!

    Edit Edit Je öfter ich ihn probieren je besser finde ich ihn. Nochmal nach oben korrigiert Edit: mittlerweile habe ich auch andere HGMLs im Glas gehabt, und es ist schwierig zu sagen welcher mein Favorit ist. Alle bewegen sich auf einem sehr h Nochmals probiert und das einzige was ich jetzt tun muss, ihn einfach nochmal nach oben korrigieren. Mein neue Nummer 1!

    epic Hampden! On the nose, the full (fermented) fruit basket with pineapple, banana, kiwi, gooseberries, plus a subtle yogurt butter cookie note. And all brought together impressively, with no noticeable barrel influence. Also bacony, toasty rather than oak barrel on the palate. Creamy finish, and somehow between sour drops, smoky bacon, pineapple and marzipan.

A lot of fruits in the nose, the more time you’ll give it the more fruits you’ll get. Important: This rum needs time to fully open min. 1 hour.
