“Rum X Advent 10.12.22 Zuerst dachte ich an eine eher jüngere Variante eines Hampden. Aber im Endeffekt ist er zu wenig wild dafür. Wirkt eher durch die Jahre einwenig gezähmt. Im Mund kommt für mich diese knusprige Trockenheit durch, was mich zu einem 92er HLCF bringt. Gleichzeitig ist er aber cremig und sanft und dazu diese leichte Kirschnote, was nicht ganz passt. Glaube zudem, der ist unter oder knapp an den 60%. Die Farbe ist auch ordentlich hell. Wild guess: Blend aus 92er und 90er (?) Jahrgang. Auf alle Fälle super lecker! Edit: Erlebnispark Hampden. Am oberen Ende der Skala. Unglaublich wie cremig und zugänglich der Rum nach so vielen Jahren Lagerung ist. Flüssiges Gold. Wahnsinnig lecker.”

“Exquisite Hampden and the uncrowned king from 1983. Understand who can and why this bottling was available for so long - clearly, the price was not entirely negligible, but in parallel ran various single casks at absolutely comparable, if not significantly higher prices over the (secondary market) counter, which play in my eyes qualitatively in a completely different league.”

“Es gibt hier schon 68 mindestens sehr gute Bewertungen. Kein weiterer Kommentar nötig, die alte Ester spricht für sich. 😉 Übrigens: Verkostet bei tropisch anmutenden Temperaturen am Ort der Abfüllung! Angemessen, oder? 😊”

“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 beautiful unicorn from Jamaica that elegantly reveals phenolic and ripe tropical fruit flavors, citrus, a touch of smoke, brine and olive tapenade notes. A slight floral freshness and cherry also come through. On the palate, we have an extremely well-balanced rum that combines the high ester profile with nice woody, spicy notes, with a touch of marzipan and a meaty influence that sublimates the whole. It's funky, oily, intense and the alcohol is superbly well integrated. The finish, endless, mixes fruits, esters, spices, wood, leather, smoky notes and a touch of bitterness. A rum of the great days which sketches all the richness of Hampden.”

“Ein kleines Highlight für mich. 35 yo HD. Vermutlich ein HGML. ❤️ Nase: wundervolle intensive Ester. Das gediegene Alter lassen diese aber voller und nicht mehr so spitz erscheinen. Daneben der klassische Klebstoff und süßlicher Nagellack. Jetzt kommt auch gegrillte Ananas und Marzipan, unterlegt mit feinem Essig. Da könnte auch gegrillte Peperoni dabei sein. Gaumen: genial! Warm und süß. Und dann kommen sie, die Ester und die intensive Ananas. Alles durch das Alter wunderbar rund und kompakt. Honig und Umami, was für Gegensätze, die doch zusammenpassen. Hinten kommt auch das Holz angenehm mit etwas Anis hinzu. Gehört für mich schon zu den besten Hampden-Rums. Auch wenn’s inzwischen schon so einige alte und schöne gibt.”

“Happy E(a)ster Tasting 2023. Hampden 1983 HGML. Rum Artesnal Hampden 1983 HGML 58,9%. Absolute Legende im Glas. Endlich habe ich die Chance ihn mal zu probieren. Schöne Hampden DNA trotz des hohen Alters. Nase etwas zurückhaltend. Ein herausragender Rum. Wahnsinn, dass man ihn so lange kaufen konnte für den Ausgabepreis. 91/100 für mich.”

“Ich bin eigentlich kein Fan von überlagerten Hampden und schon gar nicht von überlagerten Esterbomben. Das erste was mir hier durch den Kopf ging: er ist so viel besser als der RA HD 89. Warum das?...man merkt ihm sein Alter schlicht nicht an. NIEMALS, hätte ich es für möglich gehalten, dass wir es hier mit 35 Jahre langer Reifung zu tun haben, mein Gefühl hätte mir eher 25 gesagt. Volle HD DNA, aber einfach nur rund und smooth. Wenn man den Kill Devil daneben stellt weiß man, was über dem Zenit bedeutet. Für mich ganz klar einer der besseren Hampden!”

“This is one of the oldest rum I had so far in the glass and the expectations are high...Nose: not at all appropriate to the age 😉 There is clearly less wood and barrel than in some younger rum from Guyana. I'm sure the storage in Europe plays a role in that. All the Hampden markers are there and show very balanced, none stands out. I like it very much!On the palate, an immense sweet-fruity wave with wonderful transition to barrel and wood notes in the long finish.At the very end, it even gets a little salty and smoky.A fascinating, intense rum with great flavor arc, unfortunately, the fruity sweetness fades relatively quickly. Actually crazy that you can buy the beginning 2023 still on the primary market!”

“die entspanntere Version vom neuen 89er RA HGML. sehr geil nach wie vor und einfach mega Süffig. auch hier haben wir eine schöne Mischung aus keksteig, Ananas und Speck aber halt nicht ganz so viel Funk und Ester wie beim neuen. dazu überraschend wenig Holzig und Tannine für so einen alten Rum. sehr schöne Nummer. gefällt mir sehr!”
