Near-universal love here, with the only real debate being how it stacks up against its Duchess sister cask (#18 at 66,1%) — some prefer this one's creamier, fruitier lean, others the sharper sibling. Expect a "basket of tropical fruits," overripe banana and pineapple, marzipan and plenty of glue. At 66,9% it drinks warm but the alcohol stays remarkably well tucked in.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol

How does The Duchess Hampden Jamaica 13 (Great House) C<>H 2007 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, glue-heavy high-ester Hampden Loved by Hampden fans as a full-throttle ester bomb — banana, pineapple, marzipan and glue with the ABV surprisingly well integrated. Astringent and hot; sip it slowly.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute board with an awesome RRP! Great nose of caramel sweets, tropical fruit salad, with mainly pineapple and honeydew melon and plenty of glue and spice. The taste is spicy and intensely sweet with young wood, lots of spices, caramel, pineapple and plenty of glue. This thing is really fun and the alcohol is absolutely perfectly integrated! Overall, however, I find the batch 2 with 66.1% a bit better! Fuck the "standard" great house series, this is the real shit going on! 🤣🤤🥂🇯🇲💥💣 I'd really like a bottle for special occasions!
Review by Leo Krüper
Significantly spicier than the sister version with 66.1%. Interestingly, there really is a difference. Nevertheless, a great Hampden with a different focus. Super PLV and bottle design.
Review by cigares
A complex nose with esters. Overripe pineapple, glue, vegetal and like a lactic fermentation side. The palate is lively but not aggressive because the aromas immediately coat it. A buttery side also softens this rather intense rum. The finish is long and the fruits remain the longest with a very pleasant sweet side, like milk chocolate. Magnificent finish! I clearly prefer it to its brother RX10861.
Review by Alexander Rasch
So far my favorite High Ester Hampden. Despite the strong aromas, the rum is still nicely balanced without becoming too harsh. The alcohol is perfectly integrated and warms nicely. This is how Hampden is really fun.
Review by zabo
Oh yes, what a fine drop. In no way inferior to its sister cask. I really couldn't decide which of the two is better. Two top bottlings from The Duchess. Cask #6 and #18 from 2007 - great choice.
Review by Timo Groeger
And last but not least for today, a really cool Hampden. Actually, every Hampden is great haha :-) Again plenty of tropical fruits like pineapple and banana, otherwise good esters, but that's normal here :-)
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
I notice no difference to the other Duchess 2007 13 years barrel 18. Therefore, again typical Hampden full broadside Ester. In direct comparison to other High-Ester Hampdens I had to score the 2007s down a bit (-2).
Review by DomM
Nose: Powerfull / basket of tropical fruits / more mature Sweeter / powerful / esters throughout
Review by Rodolphe
Nice Hampden. However, I find it a little strong and a little rough.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6139 27.12.2025 Having a few more afternoon samples before my wife gets back home. Nose Medium intense, fruity, overripe, ester, light glue, banana, light wood, spice, faint smoke, light ginger. Palate Intense, warm, oily, ester, light wood, fruity, overripe, banana, light citrus, faint caramel, pineapple, cinnamon, light glue. Finish Very long and warm, oily, light wood, light roasted, ester, fruity, naturally sweet, light cinnamon, banana. Empty glass Banana, light cherry, cinnamon, light ginger, faint chocolate, light glue. Needs to rest for a good while and then a lot of natural sweetness shows up in the profile.
Review by Serge
Tasted against the Duchess sister cask (rx10861) and the Kill Devil (11490). For me, this one comes in second place after the Kill Devil.
Review by Domi Mal
Really good stuff - a real fruit bomb and quite a lot of High Ester Hampden with the typical notes of overripe banana, pineapple. Full-bodied, comes initially already slightly sweetish, yet has a good astringency. Real board, the alcohol is well integrated despite the 66.9%!
Review by Filip Šikula
Well, this is a big hit! Beautiful nose full of tropical fruit, the glue lets us know that a great Jamaica from my favorite brand C<>H awaits us. The taste is again fruity, complex and intense with a bit of pepper, beautifully integrated alcohol and a bit of dryness in the mouth. The finish rather long and warming. Gorgeous!
Review by Thunderbird
In the nose immediately the classic Hampden force...ester, glue however also sweet fruity notes..on the palate first sweetness and then very astringent! Then again typical...and a very long finish, this rum reminds me strongly of the Kill Devil of 2007!
Review by TheJona'Spirits
🎨 white wine with pale gold color. 👃 Powerful and silky esters at the same time. A beautiful range of very ripe fruits, roasted pineapple, flambéed banana, overripe mango, papaya jam, candied and salted lemons. A creamy, pastry-like aspect with caramelized almonds. Then fresh glue, petrol notes, pebble beach, seafood shells. Light vanilla oak that structures the whole. 😋 Very similar on the nose, well structured and intense. More liveliness, astringency, funk and spices. Esters, overripe tropical fruits of course and seawater with added vanilla brown sugar. A bit of brine and wine vinegar. Palate less complex than the nose. ⛳ Long, warm, astringent, esterified, vanilla, wallpaper glue, white almonds, overripe fruits, salty and spicy spices. ⚔️ Battle between the 2 Hampden (great house) 2007 C<>H selected by The Duchess, the RX10462 (this one) VS the RX10861. For now, I find this barrel #6 a bit softer, creamier and fruitier (more tropical fruits). Barrel #18 seems a bit more lively and intense. Final conclusion, I prefer the structure of this barrel #6.
Review by alex
It's just magnificent, perfect 🤩🤩🤩 Full blast of esters, alcohol perfectly integrated, full of fruits and caramel. This juice is really top, a must taste 😍😍😍 I preferred it to its twin Duchess. I just corrected the rating.
Review by Rare Akuma
Impeccably complex on the nose keeping the balance between fermented and medicinal notes. A one-way ticket straight to the jungles of Jamaica. Starting off with overripe banana, pineapple juice and berry mix (primarily currants). Raw honey with light vanilla and crème fraîche, evolving into leafy sugarcane, pimento, hay and lavender. Subsequently heavily “industrial”; nail polish remover and automotive notes: paintshop, hot glue and a hint of petrol. On the palate slightly less interesting than on the nose. The same profile continues, but some if not most of the automotive notes unfortunately get lost in overwhelming lemon juice and ash. The alcohol is also not perfectly integrated. All things considered this still is an excellent drop. Ends in a reasonable lengthy finish with pineapple juice, marzipan, cake frosting and esters.
Review by Galli33
Wow… what an incredible rum! 🤤 This one really knocked me off my feet. Packed with esters, tropical fruits, a hint of glue, and that delicious marzipan note 🤤🤤🤤 All perfectly balanced with just the right ABV. I truly enjoyed every sip – this one’s definitely going on my Christmas list 😏😜
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
Very good intense and strong Jamaica. Just what the doctor ordered for fighting the first signs of a flue. Have to agree with reviewer who detected whiff of Mezcal smoke.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery, you can smell wild esters, after which your whole body soaks up the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".
Review by Martin Švojgr
Very good and gentle ester Hampden. Alcohol perfectly integrated and I had a glass without preparation for breakfast. After a while, sharpness spreads on the tongue, it is necessary to really sip it drop by drop to enjoy. The aroma is amazing full of esters, bananas, marzipan and pineapple.
