Hampden Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 17 HD <>H 2001
Sipped neat, it drinks surprisingly mild for 58% — several tasters note the alcohol is nearly invisible. Overripe banana, kiwi, pineapple and the usual glue-and-ester Hampden signature, all sitting on a dry, slightly sour, citrus-lemon base. Let it breathe and the fruit turns into what one member calls a fruit grenade. A few drops of water free up even more. Dry finish with a smoky, medicinal edge.
The community says- Ripe banana & ester
- Alcohol well hidden
- But: Sour, astringent edge

Dry, fruity Hampden that's mild for cask strength Fans keep coming back to this one — a classic, well-integrated Hampden most rate a fair deal. If you want maximum ester punch, a couple find it milder and tarter than they'd like.

Review by Frank
Der hat mich schon auf dem 10. GRF überzeugt. Nase: total ausgewogene Mischung aus Frucht und Ester. Sehr schöne Mandarinen/Zitronennoten und etwa süßlich-säuerigem, Richtung Kiwi und Stachelbeere. Lecker! Dazu dann eine feine, herbe Süße von Ahornsirup und die obligatorische Essignote, die hier überhaupt nicht aufdringlich ist. Gaumen: Sehr rund und ausgewogen. Angenehme Ester, eine leichte Bitternote von Limettenschale und wieder die Kiwi. Schöner Klebstoff mit Politur. Dahinter leicht Malz, ein wenig Bittermandel, Anis und sogar Speck-Anklänge. Ein total guter Hampden der alles hat.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Mitgebracht vom 10. GRF. Dort hat er schon überzeugt und sich nicht zuletzt durch sein PLV gegen einige andere Hampdens durchgesetzt. Insgesamt eher ein entspannterer Vertreter der Hampden-Fraktion, aber nicht langweilig. Sehr trocken, dafür durch sein Mark und die geringeren Ester weniger adstringent. Alkohol nahezu nicht präsent, und das trotz immerhin 58%. Alles in allem sehr rund und lecker! Der trinkt sich einfach schnell weg ;-)
Review by Christoph
Überreife Banane, Kiwi, die typischen HD Ester Noten merkt man hier sofort, trotzdem sehr mild in der Nase. Die Esternoten ziehen sich auch wunderbar durch Geschmack und Abgang der recht trocken ist. Wenn der Rum etwas geatmet hat entwickelt sich eine krasse Fruchtgranate die intensiver nicht sein dürfte. Für eine Wertung über 90 fehlt nur eine bessere Integration des Alkohol.
Review by Stylo
I would say that this rum is a typica Hampden! Has all the funk a flavors (banana, pineapple and papaya, a rocky/mineral sent on the nose) along with a fresh lemony note right upfront. To me, it is not the most ester-y of all the Hampden I’ve ever tried, although it is a very nice one indeed. The finish is long and satisfying.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Unlike the Ed24, the more exciting and powerful nose. I like it when the Ester marches forward. On the palate, less balanced and a little less complexity. But I like it very much. Maybe even a bit better than the 24 as more lively and a bit drier. Here I would have liked more of... 🤦♂️
Review by DomM
Nose focused on citrus-ey and sour notes. Most Funk on the nose out of the group. Most astringent and funky one on the palate. So far I liked all out of the 2001 <>H batch. Looking at a close field: KD > TB > RC-M > RC Sidenote: makes an excellent Mai Tai.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Had a nice evening with friends and a few good rums. Once rested this is a really nice and fruity release. I like the funk and esters in the profile and also the citrus notes in the background. Overall pretty good but the price is too high in my opinion.
Review by Han
I like - Nase noch viel fruchtiger als der Geschmack; geschmacklich dann reifer und trockener und durchaus süßlich. Nehmen wir den Hampden 8 als Baseline , dann ist dieser deutlich deutlich eleganter und viel viel besser
Review by Oliver
In der Nase schöne Zitrusfrüchte, überreife Banane und Ester. Am Gaumen recht trocken mit angenehmen Bitternoten. Sehr gut integrierter Alkohol. Top Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis (zum Ausgabepreis)!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Relativ direkt in der Nase, rund und angenehm. Aber auf der Zunge pelzig und für mich zu sauer. Pur nicht so mein Geschmack. Wasser tut hier gut und bringt einiges an Aromen frei.
Review by Rodolphe
Très bon Hampden. Classique mais efficace. Fruits murs, colle et derrière tout cela, une belle trame pâtissière. C'est très bon.
Review by Maxence
Very nice fruity nose but mouth is quite unbalanced by a lot of smoky notes. Too bad, it could have been a very good rum.
Review by mto75
kommt nicht an den Old Brothers <>H /19 Jahre heran, aber dennoch ein guter Hampden, gerade auch angesichts des Preises.
Review by Johannes
Super PLV! Insgesamt ein weniger fruchtiger, adstringierender Hampden!
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Schöne Ester Aromen. Bißchen alkoholisch und säuerlich.
Review by SaibotZtar
toller Hampden PLV absolut in Ordnung.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Nase verspricht viel Frucht & Funk erstmal, geschmacklich ist es mir persönlich aber dann zu wenig Frucht und zu viel Anis, Marzipan, Klebstoff und auch eine etwas störende Säure die mir nicht so richtig taugt. insgesamt einfach nicht das Hampden Aroma was ich mag, da kann der 92er Hampden deutlich mehr und ist komplexer ... hintenraus noch etwas Speck, Salz-Lake und verbrannte Noten, sowie Überreife Banane & Kiwi. so richtig warm werde ich mit dem hier auch beim mittlerweile 3. Versuch einfach nicht.
