Romdeluxe Hampden Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 18 (Rombo.dk) JMC 1993
"The nose is the hammer" is how one German taster put it, and that's the through-line here: intense pineapple, olive and ester on the smell, marzipan sitting at the back of the palate, and — despite 28 years in cask — barely any wood. A couple of people note the fruit and finish don't quite match the nose, but there's real Hampden funk in the glass.
The community says- Intense pineapple nose
- Marzipan on palate
- But: Finish not fully round

The look inside the bottle
How does Romdeluxe Hampden Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 18 (Rombo.dk) JMC 1993 taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Pineapple-heavy Hampden, big nose, light wood Loved for its huge pineapple-and-ester nose and light-wood marzipan palate. A few feel the fruit and finish fall slightly short of the nose, and the 1993 vintage's acidity divides opinion.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Wow, this is a great release. Despite the age the wood is extremely light giving the other flavours more space to bloom. I really like the marzipan on the back of your palate 😊 This is a very limited release for a Danish shop and they nailed it in my mind.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A very smooth, fruity, gourmet palate with no trace of wood despite 28 years in barrel. A slight lack of texture and length to make it all great. Still, a very fine selection.
Review by Holle525
Liegt deutlich hinter dem Nobilis Hampden 1993. Die Nase ist echt super aber geschmacklich fehlt der Hampden Punch. Die Nase rettet hier die Punkte.
Review by Thunderbird
A typical representative of its kind... no surprises, just good... with perfectly integrated alcohol! Perfect
Review by Johannes
Wow! Ein richtig guter, runder, perfekt ausbalancierter Hampden!
