Sublime. Opened today for my 30th birthday, in 1992. What a joy! Edit: after 6 months open, still a pure marvel!

MA-GNI-FI-QUE!!
Review by Lawich Lowaine
Simply magnificent. A bottle to have in your bar. A surprising color for its age. An explosion of tropical fruit on all sides, both on the nose and on the palate. Superbly crafted, with great complexity and well-integrated alcohol. I wonder if it even deserves more than 91%.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
legendärer Tropfen!🇯🇲 eine absolute Explosion an Fruchtaromen und das trotz 24y langer Reifung. vollreife Ananas trifft auf süß saure Himbeeren, dazu gebrannte Mandeln, etwas gesalzenes brioche mit Butterkaramell und flambierten Bananen, sowie kandierten Früchten. Holz Noten die nicht zu dominant sind runden das ganze wunderbar ab. einfach extrem rund, komplex und sehr gut Trinkbar, fast schon süffig! 92er Referenz Hampden!💯⚡🤤
Review by Oliver
Brilliant Hampden with little acidity. I like! Slightly spicier and more tart than the Rumclub 1992.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Amazing Hampden, very well balanced!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Wow this was a nice surprise. A powerful and intense release and I would have loved to get my hands on a bottle. Intense from nose to finish with nice fruit and esters/glue. Light wood and very good ABV integration. The empty glass is really nice and fruity with some nutts.
Review by Basti
Die Nase ist ist einfach nur genial mit überreifen Früchten wie Mango, Ananas und Banane, dazu leichte florale Noten und etwas Menthol. Macht auch am Gaumen richtig Spaß. Insgesamt sehr fruchtig, intensiv und schön komplex.
Review by kclo
Beautifully balanced continentally aged Hampden, a perfect mix of esters and fruits, power and delicacy. Love it!
Review by Lukas Jäger
24 Jahre HLCF im Fass… Sicher nicht nein Lieblingsmark, aber doch auch sehr lecker. Trotz des Alters noch vergleichsweise scharf, wobei das wohl auch ein wenig dem Mark geschuldet ist und eher in einer Säure statt Alkohol durchkommt. Dennoch merkt man ihm das Alter durchaus an, eine ordentliche Portion sowie verschiedene Gewürze wie Anis und Zimt schwingen hinter dem typischen Obstkorb mit und erzeugen ein fast schon weihnachtliches Aroma. Dann auch etwas Marzipan und Mandel und schließlich ein ewiger Abgang - Hampden eben, wenn auch andere hier noch etwas langsamer verschwinden.
Review by tojo
A real surprise! From the smell to the taste to the finish, a great collection of red fruits (currants, raspberries) and yellow fruits. Very little ester and wood/roasted notes. An ideal summer rum.
Review by Buddudharma
