How does this rum taste?
- Viel Vanille und Banane, weniger Esternoten
- süffig und rund
- tropical fruits, almost rotting, are dominating
A softer side of Hampden, this OWH mark leans into vanilla, banana, and tropical fruit, with gentle esters often sitting in the back seat. The nose is praised as a “Volltreffer” by Daniel, full of fragrant mango and banana. On the palate, creaminess combines with wood and mild spice, and for many the finish brings subtle tea or chocolate notes. “Viel Vanille und Banane, weniger Esternoten. Toller Sipper” says Martin Augustin, while others find it “süffig und rund” (Rene Pfeiffer), though some miss the typical punchy ester profile.

"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"
