A great Hampden. Delicious, on the fruit with a hint of smoke and sweetness.
The nose is very expressive and there's no doubt this is Hampden. The profile is elegant, with hints of olives, ripe tropical fruit and citrus. On the palate, the alcohol is perfectly integrated, it's complex and the taste buds take it all in. There are notes of solvent and olives, followed by more gourmand notes of banana and caramelized pineapple. It's an incredible velvet of gourmandise. The length is endless! This rum is incredibly smooth and balanced, and the 35-year wait was clearly worth it! I'm really lucky and happy to have been able to taste it, and even more so in my forties. If the price wasn't an obstacle (it currently sells for €1,000), I'd have a bottle and drink it by the bucketful. There's no doubt in my mind that it's a cut above the Famille Ricci 39 ans. Now all I have to do is compare it to its twins: Rum Artesanal, Kill Devil, Valinch & Mallet, ...
Dense, complex on the nose with lots of tropical fruit and (pleasant!) solvent. The great impression continues on the palate. Insanely complex and delicious Hampden. The 35 years of maturation have made the rum incredibly round and elegant. There is an exciting smoky note on the finish. Excellent Hampden!
Incredibly mild and balanced, the 36 years of waiting were worth it!
