The Duchess Hampden Jamaica 13 (Great House) C<>H 2007
What catches people off guard here is the acidity — a sharp citrus and lime zest lift sitting on top of the classic Hampden C<>H load of overripe pineapple, glue and ester funk. There's a creamy, buttery, vanilla-pudding side too, with marzipan in the empty glass. At 66.1% the alcohol is genuinely well buried. Several tasters rank it just under their favorite continental 2007s, but no one calls it dull.
- Overripe pineapple
- Glue and funk
- Alcohol well integrated

How does The Duchess Hampden Jamaica 13 (Great House) C<>H 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 68 community reviews.
Sharp, fruity high-ester Hampden at cask strength A clean, fruit-and-glue Hampden that drinkers consistently enjoy. The heat is well integrated for the proof; the only knock is it lacks the finesse to top the best 2007 C<>H bottlings people compare it against.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute board with a hammer UVP! Incredibly beautiful nose of vanilla custard, tropical fruit salad, especially pineapple and honeydew melon, glue and a little cream caramel and lemon zest. The taste is also insanely deliciously sweet and fruity with lemon curd, coffee beans/cappuccino, pineapple chutney, tropical fruit and plenty of glue. This thing is really fun and the alcohol is perfectly integrated! Fuck the "standard" great house series, this is the real shit going on! 🤣🤤🥂🇯🇲💥💣 I would have really liked a bottle for special occasions!
Review by Leo Krüper
Great 2007 HD Reminds me of the green 2020 Great House and in a positive sense. Lots of yellow fruit, lemon scent, ester is still within limits. Alcohol super integrated for the high %. Great PLV and beautiful bottle design. I'd love a bottle of this. In direct comparison with the sister version 66.9%, I like it much better.
Review by SaibotZtar
Very tasty... beautifully fruity and powerful... The full fruit basket paired with glue, marzipan and papaya. Simply awesome! PLV was also super fair here 👍 Unfortunately my stock is running low 😩 which makes me a little sad. In May Tai also a fruity grenade.
Review by cigares
A very expressive yet well-balanced nose, with a lactic, toffee-like ferment that softens the rather lively esters. On the palate, it's much less expressive, with the wood still present and a lactic edge. Then the aromas become more assertive, pineapple and esters. The finish is shorter than expected, on slightly bitter wood. I much preferred its brother, RX10462, for its overall complexity and delicious finish.
Review by DomM
Nose: a hint less acidity and more cask and marzipan notes vs. The Duchess sister cask. Palate: less adstringent than its sister / good balance of chemical and fruity notes

Edit: Crosstasting C◇H 1st Kill Devil 2. FRC C◇H 3. the Duchess 4. TBRC Frankenstein 5. the Whisky Jury Very tasty representative. In comparison with its competitors, it unfortunately lacked a little for a better rating.
Review by Timo Groeger
Great Hampden, has a lot of tropical fruit on the nose and palate, especially banana and pineapple. Esters are also recognizable, but not too pronounced. Also a bit sticky on the palate. Very tasty Hampden.
Review by Basti
Die Nase typisch mir viel Ester, etwas Klebstoff, ordentlich Vanille(-Pudding), Backaroma, Marzipan und Ananas. Am Gaumen ist alles wiederzufinden was die Nase versprochen hat. Insgesamt Recht viel Vanille und wenig Frucht. Gefällt mir gut!
Review by Johannes
This is once again a board! Typical 2007 on a high level!
Review by Adrian Wahl
This awesome HD 2007 nose 🥰. For me but already somewhat below the benchmark JMC. PLV but outstanding.
Review by Boletus
A high ester powerhouse with a wonderfully integrated alcohol content, lots of fermented fruit aromas and an unobtrusive but recognizable toasted wood entry. After initial astringency, a very pleasant, creamy and buttery mouthfeel develops in the mouth. Yummy!
Review by Thunderbird
A typical Hampden, funky, ester pineapple etc.. and that's it! But to get a top rating it lacks the finesse
Review by Christian Rudt
In the nose first A lot of esters, solvents and now that he stood long covered (I was asleep ðð¥±) also the tropical fruits come through in the nose. These were immediately very present on the palate, with plenty of time in the glass the whole is clearly spicier, I have a few herbs briefly some menthol and then a nice warm finish where the over 66 "v become noticeable but very pleasant if you stick to small sips.
Review by Serge
Verkostet gegen den duchess (rx10462) und den Kill Devil (rx11490) Kill Devil ist für mich der gewinner.gefolgt vom 10462. Der hier hat leider den letzten Platz gemacht. Aber wirklich nur relativ kleine Unterschiede.
Review by Jakob
Rich fruit esters of overripe pineapple, lime and mango. Heavy sweetness of toffee and lactose. Slight peppery notes. Anyone who likes the ester-heavy Hampden will find what they are looking for here - an ideal Hampden release without frills.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Rum X Easter 27.4.22: Schöner Hampden. Bereits in der Nase dichte Trelawany Noten. Gutes Ding.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Day 11 in the RumX-Ester calendar, blind.Easy one - today there is Hampden and specifically C<>H, apart from DOK probably the most obvious mark of the distillery and at the same time one of my favorite marks. There is little to say about the bottling itself, C<>H in its purest form: tropical fruits, neat citrus vapor and thus also some acidity. This is perhaps the only ambiguous and thus remarkable thing about this bottling: the acidity is also very concise, especially on the nose, and could possibly lead you down the wrong paths if you sniff inattentively, even if you clearly stay in Jamaica. Comes for me not quite to the first Flensburg C<>H, which for me is the benchmark for continental and younger representatives of this mark, but clearly above his brother from the 10th GRF!
Review by Galli33
#10 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: I‘ll give the C<>H another try approx 20 years of aging approx. 60% Result: This profile is very clear. Very delicious C<>H. Fruity, glue, ester, full load of pineapple and a very good integrated barrel. The alcohol is integrated well. This is a good C<>H, but not on the top.
Review by Vincent D
Jamaican nose on pineapple and a lot of esters with a very surprising acidity. I think of lime or lemon zest. 66° in the mouth. It is warm, fruity, very concentrated. The finish is concentrated, dry, astringent and the bitterness takes over. It is not unpleasant for all that, a very powerful rum.
