Old Brothers Hampden Jamaican Rum <>H

Une salade de fruits avec une belle sucrosité et un peu des notes fumées agréables. Un grand Hampden. Regouté après un moment : toujours une bombe A nouveau regoûté : je pense que mes goûts ont évolué, je le trouve un peu trop explosif et je lui ai préféré aujourd'hui un Rare Cask Series HGML Velier que j'ai trouvé plus équilibré.

A genuine Jamaïcan bomb 💣 Extremely fruity profile with just enough esters. Funky rum but still very well balanced. Simply tropical ageing at its best. Definitely one of my favorite Hampden of all time 🇯🇲🖤💛💚🖤

Very good hampden 😍 Alcohol is integrated very well. It‘s domaninat in the nose, but it soften up if you let it fill your mouth. This really need some time to fully open. I‘ll add later some drops of water… Update: It helps! Is there Kiwi and marzipan in the nose 🤔 In the nose: tropical fruits with esters (hampden like), oak (wood - barrel), Citrus, Strong solvents, polish, medicinal (you‘ll know it has more than 60%). On the palate: tropical fruits (lot of pineapple, banana, mango), oak. A dry, astrigend and funky, delicious, fully bodied feeling in the mouth. The finish: is medium long, dry and bitter. A lot of wood, roasted, tannins and astrigend feeling.

Density of flavors is great. Tastes very good to me. Not an overly classic Hampen profile, partly reminiscent of Clarendon. Lots of red fruit, spice and wood alongside the HD markers. Can absolutely hold its own at the top level.

Update after tasting against Plantation Rum Addict HD 2001. I stick with 90, brutal board. Hampden <>H Easter tasting Tasted with RX 88 & RX 771 RX 9659 Old Brothers Hampden 2001 <>H 61,6% Nose - the most blatant nose of the three Mouth - The impression of the nose is confirmed. Not as much Hampden essence as I have with Velier Khong or TRC Finish - the most present of the three Rating 90

Excellent. complex and concentrated; magnificent bomb with natural transition

Offers everything you would expect - and in top form. Tropical fruit, sweetness of pastry and burnt sugar, plus wood and spice notes. In the mouth and in the finish, the fruit notes seem a bit heavier, which is a bit detrimental to the freshness. But this grumbling at the highest level can not change the fact that this is an excellent bottling.

OMG! Even if I dont like Hampden, this is Hell good! .. Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"

Tasted again today and very enthusiastic !!! The tropical maturation very present... very fruity and heavy. Oily consistency...in the mouth. For me one of the really great ones. A real grenade even in Mai Tai.

This is a very, very nice release. Both nose and palate are intense even when rested but the overall balance is amazing. ABV integration is near perfect and I like the ester and fruity profile.

Nose is very intense and vibrant. Excellent. Similar on the palate. Excellent bottling of a nicely aged Hampden.

The <H> Mark celebrates itself here: With a good portion of wood and pineapple (as well as many other tropical fruits), spice, pastry, roasted notes, acidity and heavy wood. The individual components engage in a tug-of-war on a playing field with an extreme density of aromas. A little bitter but worthwhile.

Really sticky like Uhu from the mouthfeel. Almost bissl too extreme but also perversely horny.

A rum that represents the quintessence of what is done in Jamaica. A real aromatic bomb on the nose, very funky with ripe tropical fruits, citrus, wood, spices, solvents and esters with a hint of pastry that give this old rum a superb profile. On the palate, the rum is intense and powerful, but retains plenty of aroma and sweetness for its high voltage. The finish is long, slightly smoky, minty and salty. An aged rum, powerful, elegant, subtle and aromatic as one could wish. A marvel.

90 points. An intense dose of ripe fruit and funk rises from the glass even before nosing the rum. Nosing one can smell wood, spices, solvents, ester and polish in addition to the fruit. On the palate the rum delivers a wild bouquet of all of these aromas with a little glue and olives. Just lovely!
