"This one was disappointing. No Jamaican funk like you normally find in a Hampden," is a common reaction here. This 9-year OWH from The Nectar leans smoky and tobacco-heavy, with dried fruit, black tea and only a faint hint of banana and tropical fruit. Several tasters swear it tastes like a peated whisky, not a classic ester bomb. Cask strength, but the alcohol sits well.
The community says- Alcohol well integrated
- Smoky, whisky-like
- Keep in mind: Lacks Hampden funk

Tja, was soll ich noch sagen, ein eher schlechter Hamoden ist dies, aber immer noch recht okay. Ester sind hier kaum erkennbar, dafür ist er sehr fruchtig, wie soll es auch sein, Ananas und Banane lassen sich erkennen.

This one was disappointing. No Jamaican funk like you normally find in a Hampden.
Review by Leo Krüper
Alcohol not well integrated. Nice nose, but then alcoholic off-notes on the palate. Overall not a strong rum. Maybe suitable as a cocktail mixer, but of course very expensive for that.
Review by Jakob
What's going on here? Even though OWH does not promise a high ester, there is hardly anything recognizable of the classic Hampden here - smoke that evokes associations of a whiskey finish, plus vegetal notes, hidden tropical fruits and some syrupy, heavy sweetness. On a positive note, the alcohol is excellently integrated. Nevertheless, I can do with the flavor mixture offered here times so nothing.
Review by Serge
Nase finde ich ehrlich gesagt gar nicht so schlecht – am Gaumen dann eher enttäuschend. Hat mich auf jeden Fall gefreut, da es mein erster OWH Single Mark ist, den ich verkoste. Nase knapp unter 8 und Gaumen eher knapp unter 7. Also alles in Allem aber noch ein guter Rum …
Review by Tom Buteneers
Gateway rum for serious whisky drinkers in my personal experience. Not what you would expect from a Hampden as a rum nerd, but you have to consider that it’s OWH and in that regard no ester-y fruit bomb. If you give it an honest chance, you might find that it’s not too bad after all.
Review by Johannes
Strange! The rum must clearly have been in a whiskey barrel. Strangely, I read nothing about a finish.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Unspectacular. Could be an OWH, who expects Hampden and Ester is wrong here. Something different than the fruit basket full of funk that you usually get from Hampden. A bit sharp on the nose, but otherwise quite varied. However, I expected more, is also not cheap. Nevertheless, not a bad bottling.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery, which besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery you can feel wild esters, after which your whole body soaks in the scent of yellow tropical fruit - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die."
Review by Alexander Rasch
Recognizable Low Ester Hampden. The nose was initially very pungent and a bit harsh but gets better. On the palate an easy sipper. Alcohol, as often described, very well integrated. I find it ok. Can be drunk well. However, I like my LFCH much better. Edit: When poured a second time, it falls off again somewhat. Especially in direct comparison.
Review by Léo Delek
Rum that strongly resembles a whisky with quite a few smoky/peaty notes. You find a little base of ripe Jamaican fruits on the nose and in the length but at the attack this is mostly covered by the peaty notes even if they are not unpleasant. I find notes of cuberdon that I often find on whiskies.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Nice Jamaican nose with all the freshness and citrus notes with some esther background. Taste a bit heavy and bold but with nice notes.
Review by Richard Krupa
Hutny vzorek, spousta ovoce, cerny caj, na me az mozns moc vyrazny
Review by ElReyTristan
Nez un peu fruité avec des notes de fruits séchés, et de solvants. En bouche c’est sec, amer, avec des notes de tabac, une amertume renforcé avec des notes de chocolat noir. Petite longueur, ça manque de rondeur et de gourmandise, c’est trop minéral.
Review by itay
A nice drink, but not a regular hampden. I guess it's aged in a ex-smokey whisky cask, since there's a definite smoke, that resembles and end if a cigar, with maybe a tiny bit rum feel to it.
