How does this rum taste?
The RumX community loves its expressive tropical‑fruit nose—banana, mango and pineapple—lifted by vanilla. On the palate it shifts to gentle spice and light wood with a rounded, creamy feel; esters are notably restrained for Hampden. Often enjoyed as a sipper, and praised for value. A popular pick with 52 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it suits drinkers seeking fruit-forward character without aggressive funk.

14.12.2019 A nice get together in a summerhouse with family and friends and rum for some of us. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, fruity, pineapple, orange, light polish, spice. Palate Round, fruity, light wood, pineapple, faint honey, spice, cinnamon, light coffee. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fruity, light coffee, cinnamon, faint chocolate.
A very nice nose with light fruitiness, ester is barely perceptible! On the palate, initially a tart sweetness, which then quickly gives way to the spicy woody side. It spreads creamy and smooth, the alcohol is acceptably integrated. The finish is also spicy with some long tongued black tea flavor. Given the price, a good low-ester rum from Hampden
Wenig Ester, aber als Hampden erkennbar.
Everything you expect from a continentally aged Hampden, with a few more traits that could come from the years spent at the tropics. Tropical fruits, almost rotting, are dominating the scene along with esters. While drinking there is a nice pastry note, even if alcohol integration is not perfect and there is a bit of astringency. This is an hybrid between the two Hampden styles I am used to drink, but still pleasant to drink
