Review by Thomas
Einer der besten und vor allem ausgewogendsten Hampdens, die ich je im Glas gehabt habe. Jedes erste Glas schreit laut nach einem zweiten. Ggf. auch nach einem weiteren. Tolles Aroma, viel Banane und sehr schöner, aber dezenter Rauch. Mit einem Satz: Viel besser geht es nicht.

What a lovely interpretation of Jamaica. One of the best Jamaicans I have had in a very long time. A definite must try if you like the funkiness of Jamaica.
Review by Christoph
Give. Me. Ester. This is what a Hampden must taste like. Compared to the Nobilis 1992 HLCF a bit rounder and better integrated alcohol (almost perfect).
Review by Thunderbird
Hervorragender Hampden …. Komplex und mit perfekt eingebundenem Alkohol! Funky und vielschichtig mit langem Abgang… genauso muss er sein 👍🏻

New Hampden 1992 reference. Beats the 24-year-old CDI by a very narrow margin. Exceptionally good!
Review by zabo
Edit: this was one of my first really, really good Jamaicans. Unfortunately I no longer have a bottle, but the sample I got again will be drunk on a special day. Simply superb. A truly round, creamy, multi-layered taste experience. That's all I need to say. My new front runner in my ranking.

Just shut up and enjoy for gods sake 😍there will probably be a time when something like this will no longer be affordable 😅
Review by Christian Rudt
Update after blind tasting yesterday. Further a class rum. Have on the palate now still yogurt and marzipan made out. The fun but of course according to the age he lets it go a little quieter. But that's exactly what you want here.what ne nose, the full Jamaica dröhnung. on the palate then clearly more wood. but incredibly complex and funky, the alcohol in addition prima integrated. Finish warm and long.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Hammer🔨! I like it very much. Straightforward, accessible, very round and yet complex and versatile. Alcohol very nicely integrated.

#1 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: Hampden approx. 10year tropical aging 60-65% 600-800 gr/hlpa This is a hampden i haven‘t tried before, for sure. Result: I totally missed the aging, but the rest was quite good 👍🏻 Btw A very good hampden, with a high impact of esters. The alcohol is well noted from the start to the end. The barrel/aging isn‘t well noted, because the fruity notes and esters a overwhelming (in a good way 😜).
Review by tojo
1. Sample der Easter-Edition. Toller Rum. Gleich zu Beginn kommen sofort gelbe Früchte in die Nase. Mirabellen, Banane, Ananas. Am Gaumen dominieren ebenfalls Früchte. Ester eher dezent. Dafür schöne Noten von Honig und Marzipan. Für mich ein Top-Hampden!
Review by igor_loves_rum
Sehr gut integrierter Alkohol…gefällt mir persönlich ein wenig besser als der Nobilis 92.
Review by Basti
Tropical fruits dominate the nose. Ripe mango and pineapple, esters, caramel, vanilla and a light floral note. Also quite fruity and round on the palate. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. Edit: Had the edge in the blind tasting with Rum Nation 1992 HLCF (RX1413) and CDI 1992 HLCF (RX8472).
