How does this rum taste?
Most drinkers call it a near-perfect, reference Hampden: massive esters, tropical fruit and pastry in great balance. Critics only point to heat, bitterness and current pricing. Overall: world‑class funk.
If you’re already into Hampden and love high-ester funk, this is the “must-try before you die” benchmark—massive fruit and glue, yet impressively balanced for 62% and only 7 years.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or bitterness, and anyone looking for a sweet, easy 40% sipper or on a tight budget given the current secondary market prices.

A hampden that rubs the perfection, its structure is impressive, a kind of multiface rum so much it is complex, in mouth it mutates permanently, the mark H is for me the best, because lends itself well to the balance chemistry / fruit / wood / solvent / pastry, for me it is the king, I have not tasted better at hampden, impressive.
This was the last tasting in Hague before going to Amsterdam the following day. A near perfect rum once rested for at least 15 minutes the nose and palate evolve into something really exciting. The nose is funky and fruity with varnish, ester, vanilla and nuts as well as light wood. The palate is funky, dry and maybe for some a tad too bitter. But I like it a lot. Fruit and spices are well balanced with light notes of varnish. The finish is extremely long, dry and bitter with fruits and spices. When released then price to quality was very good. Even if you find a bottle today I think it'll be well worth the price.
This is hampden at its finest! The nose just leaps out of the glass to meet you. Wonderfully funky, just the right amount of esters. Glue and varnish, then lots of tropical fruits. So Complex. A wonderfully long and dry finish. Really worth giving a try.
Golden color and quite viscous rum for a 7 years old. The Baklava is in the nose with its almonds, its honey, ... And of course the ripe fruits (banana, orange, pineapple). It's quite crazy and attractive as a nose! In the mouth it is TNT, we feel the 62% but ultra well integrated and greedy. It is fruity and full of esters. One believes oneself in a laboratory in full synthesis of the new nail polish of Dior. In conclusion, if you have strong enough (financially), get it.
