„WoW what an amazing rum 😍 The best of Hampden i ever had in the glass, so far. Nose: Wonderfull synergy of funk, ester, trop. fruits and glue. Mouth: The alcohol is perfectly integrated🫠Very delicious, balanced, complex rum, some nice lovely notes of overripe fruits and pineapple. Finish: Is quite long and fruity with some notes of the barrel with a lightly astringency. 🤤🤤“

„This Hampden C<>H is a force of nature, a raw, yet incredibly complex aromatic concentrate. The nose is powerful and lively, intensely fruity and phenolic, with some very pleasant pastry touches that round out the edges. On the palate, we find a thick, fat and oily rum, very concentrated on notes of tropical fruits, citrus fruits, some fermented notes but also a floral and spicy touch, then some leather. The 68.5% are relatively discreet. The whole is impressively round. The finish continues the pleasure of Jamaican funk with also a touch of olive, tannins but also chocolate and a salty touch. A Jamaican rum in its pure state, extremely tasty and balanced. Great art.“

„What a board. The level is simply unbelievably high. Certainly one of the highlights of what I have opened this year in bottles. For most, this is only a speculative object anyway, but the opening is so worth it. Absolutely brute good stuff.“

„Overripe banana with some sweet pineapple in a cloud of the HD typical fermented fruit. In the mouth a brilliant and pure sweet tropical fruits that open every pore on the tongue. The finish adds something smoky, even slightly nutty, while the pineapple remains present.“

„Die Nase haut einen trotz der 2h im Glas einfach um! Voll ins Gesicht, Ester-Peitsche vom Feinsten! Wow ist der würzig, fruchtig, vergoren, Banane, Ananas, Gebäck erinnert mich ein wenig an den tropischen HV Long Pond Teca 2005, nicht so brutal aber die Würzigkeit ist sehr schön vorhanden! Am Gaumen, wenn wundert es, ordentlich Ester, die Frucht und Würzigkeit kommen jedoch nicht zu kurz! Tropische Reifung deutlich zu schmecken, rau und mit Ecken und Kanten die einfach toll sind. Klassische Hampden-Noten kommen nach einer Weile schön im Mundraum hervor! Sehr langer Abgang - überragend! Ausgezeichnetes Destillat! Bislang kein besseren tropischen C<>H im Glas gehabt!“

„After trying this rum I promptly order a few extra for my shelf, that's how good it is in my mind. The nose is absolutely wonderfully fruity (overripe) with the normal funk and esters. The nose is there as soon as you open the bottle and it just gets better when resting. The palate lives up to the nose. A complex, full bodied and intense experience again with overripe fruits and ester and a hint of barrel in the back. The finish is like forever, sweet with tropical fruits and a hint of barrel.“

„Tasted as a 5cl sample. Nice Hampden nose. Decent amount of glue and a nice basket of fruit in the background. On the palate esters and marzipan, a little metallic and all super intense. The finish lasts very long and it comes cocoa / dark chocolate to it.This rum is really fun.“
