Silvano's Collection HLCF, distilled in 1992 at Jamaica's Hampden distillery, is a limited release by independent bottler Masam. Aged for 27 years with a 54.5% ABV, this rum reveals prominent notes of pineapple, ripe bananas, and tropical fruit on the nose, held together by underlying pastry and ester aromas. On the palate, a sweet and overripe fruit character is dominant, complemented by smoky wood and hints of vanilla. While some users admire its complexity and balance, others find it less exuberant than expected from a Hampden rum. Overall, Silvano's Collection HLCF is noted for its elegance, sophistication, and delightful finish, appealing particularly to those who appreciate refined and aged cask offerings.

"A lovely old Hampden from the early 90s. Very well balanced. Quite sweet and pale in colour, Im assuming it would have been continentally aged. Im getting tropical fruits and some smokiness as well. Very nice."
"Wow, this one was even better and I have to see if I can get my hands on a bottle somewhere. The nose is complex with lots of fruit, varnish and smoke trailed by flower, caramel, vanilla and a bit of honey. The palate is complex with smoky wood, fruits and vanilla trailed by caramel, licorice and a hint of tea. The finish is very long with smoky wood, tropical fruits and a hint of licorice. Needs to rest and if you add a few drops of water the flavours really open up. Price to quality is very good."
"Very good representative of the 1992 vintage. For a top rating, however, it is a bit too sweet and "sticky" for me."
"High-ester meets heavy, syrupy sweetness. Overall, very balanced, full-bodied, but without reaching the complexity of some other bottlings from the early 90s. Nevertheless, a very good rum."
