Hampden Rum Artesanal HD (Whiskytempel) C<>H 1993
One reviewer called it "flüssiges Gold" — and the funk crowd agrees. Nose is pure Hampden: glue, nail polish, esters and a fruit basket of pineapple and overripe tropical fruit, rounded off by 28 years of cask. Warm and dry on the palate with faint chocolate. A few taste some bitterness and tannin from the long aging, but most rate it near the top of the HD 1993 pack.

How does Hampden Rum Artesanal HD (Whiskytempel) C<>H 1993 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Funky, fruity old-Hampden cask-strength sipper Loved by high-ester fans — a funky, fruity, well-integrated Hampden. Most place it just behind the Nobilis 1993; a couple find the wood and tannins a touch much after 28 years.

Review by Galli33
Classic high ester Hampden 😍 Lovely funky nose of ester, glue, nail polish, fruit basket and a bit of wood. Funky, dry, delicious in nose where you’ll find all the notes again. Very smooth finish. Alcohol is integrated very well. The wood is integrated in a nice way and never become rampant. Unfortunately hard to find now… the price tag exploded too…
Review by Adrian Wahl
Clearly better than the sister barrel with 63.5%, but not quite as epic as other representatives of the HD 93 faction. Mai Tai also very solid 🇯🇲😬

#4808 11.08.2024 Enjoying some samples at home. Nose Light wood, glue, esters, fruity, overripe, pineapple, light vegetal, faint citrus. Palate Warm, light wood, esters, light glue, fruity, overripe, light floral, faint smoke, faint chocolate. Finish Long and warm, light wood, faint roasted, medium dry, ester, faint chocolate, pineapple, light citrus. The empty glass has stronger chocolate and light banana.
Review by RumTaTa
Oh, what a fragrance! Wonderfully round and polished with age, not comparable to the C<>H from 2007 tasted previously, much more elegant and absolutely no disturbing alcohol notes. Quite sharp on the palate and lots of glue. In the finish, I can sense the long maturation from the strong barrel notes. Somehow the bitterness and tannins also bother me here. Has the rum been in the cask for too long? Nevertheless, an excellent Hampden!
Review by Martin Augustin
What an overwhelming smell. You don't want to stop for hours. A Hampden at its best. Nail polish, esters and glue are pure funk. This is also reflected in the taste. Supplemented by pineapple and a tropical fruit basket. Long and dry finish with some cocoa. An absolute board.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A lot of glue on the nose. Also a decent amount of nail polish. Nice and round and powerful in the mouth, with an overall great balance. The aging did a very good job. Esters come through as dryness and acidity. Nice brioche flavor. The finish is also great and very long.
Review by SaibotZtar
Really good 93 ... in comparison with the Nobilis 1993, the Nobilis is slightly ahead here, at least for me.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
I love this marrow. Liquid gold for me. The finish is typical of this marrow.
Review by Jakob
A great representative of the already very remarkable 1993 vintage. Rich fruit esters are perfectly embedded in heavy sweetness, balanced notes from the barrel round off the profile with light wood aromas, subtle roasted notes and dark spices. A great rum.
Review by Johannes
Fantastic Hampden ! For me very close behind the Nobilis !
Review by Rum Watcher
From a sampler we couldn't immediately identify (label lost), but then the nose was more than clear. Great high ester profile, fruity and as often very well integrated. Very round and almost soft finish. I found it slightly salty, which my companion did not want to confirm.
Review by Michael Schou
#1817 27-07-2026 - Rate 9.5 We had 4 Hampden Titans this evening. This one was the only first timer. And wow. What a rum. LETS MAKE HAMPDEN THIS GREAT AGAIN. We don’t get enough of this kind of rum anymore
Review by Holle525
A super Hampden. For me, just behind the Nobilis 1993 but clearly ahead of the Rome de Luxe 1993.
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".
