One taster called it "erst auf den zweiten Schluck ein Hampden" — and that's the character here: a 19-year continental <>H that reads gentler than most. Fermented banana and pineapple, buttery molasses, burnt sugar and a little citrus sourness. The esters are there but dialed back, with real cask roundness and a sweeter finish. Smooth enough to sip slowly at 59.4%, though a few wanted more fruit.
The community says- Smooth for the ABV
- Ester funk plus cask
- But: Sour nose for some

How does Hampden Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 24 HD Magnum <>H 2001 taste?
Summarized by AI from 24 community reviews.
Rounder, softer aged Hampden with sweet finish Well-liked as a rounder, more restrained Hampden — banana, esters and burnt sugar with good cask depth. A couple found the nose too sour or wished it hit harder.

Review by Skyfly
Wonderful <>H, which brings a bit of a winter vibe on the nose with cinnamon, vanilla, and allspice, further highlighted by candied fruits and buttery notes. On the palate, you first taste the burnt sugar, followed by the typical markers. Really good rum and a real bargain for my price!
Review by mto75
In the other glass, the Ed. 17. The closeness of the two casks is unmistakable. Both have 19 continental years under their belt, with the Ed. 24 having an additional half year in the HD 92 cask of the Ed. 18. Honestly, I have to say that even side-by-side it's really hard to spot differences on the nose. Surprisingly, I do notice differences on the palate. The Ed. 24 feels a bit fuller-bodied, with more sweetness in the finish. Maybe it's just the 1.4% higher ABV rather than the extra finish... it definitely earns one more point compared to the Ed. 17 😉
Review by DomM
Nose again (like the other RC) with some sour and citrus notes, but less prominent and complemented by candied fruits. So far I liked all out of the 2001 <>H batch. Looking at a close field: KD > TB > RC-M > RC

Review by Lukas Jäger
Amazing how the finish makes itself noticed, even though the finish actually comes from the same area. On the palate, you can sense it being a bit less sharp, maybe even rounder, with a bit more barrel influence. Whether I like it better than the original without the finish is hard for me to say right now. As a fan of high-ester rums, I do like the strong esters, which are a bit more subtle here. Probably the decision just depends on the mood of the day.
Review by Boletus
A very nice <>H that develops a dangerously easy drinkability thanks to its exceptionally smooth texture in the mouth. It does seem a bit tame, but that means you can keep this delicious drop in your mouth for so long that it’s almost completely absorbed by the mucous membrane, allowing you to discover every corner of its quite diverse flavor landscape.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Surprisingly nuanced on the nose when it comes to spices, more balanced in terms of fruit and on the more subtle side for a Hampden. Nice finish with sweetness. The finish works really well here.
Review by MarcT
This one waited for me in a covered glass, in a closed cabinet (for letting it breathe while I send my kids off to bed), and I could still smell it. The profile is nice, not too heavy and not too light, very fruity. The alcohol did not have any burn for me, which I liked. The only thing bothering me is that rotten fruity component, that so many love, but that I sometimes find distracting.
Review by zabo
I was looking for a sample of this bottling for a long time because I heard a lot of good things. Thanks to Skyfly for sharing. I really wasn't disappointed, a wonderful dram that delivers everything you expect.
Review by Timo Groeger
Only on the second sip do you get a Hampden :-) Doesn't matter, it's still tasty. I can skip the rest, it's about Hamoden :-) yeah, unfortunately I do have to mention the fermented banana and pineapple for the 200 characters 😀
Review by Johannes
For my taste, it could be a bit fruitier.
Review by Thunderbird
This HD does not convince me 100%! In the nose, the sour aromas predominate...and the palate I feel overall very restrained and relatively round... that's not wrong, but I'm missing something there... the finish then fits the profile again
Review by Righrum
Nowadays I am in love with Continental Hampden. And this does not change my evaluation despite some points a bit underwelming. The nose is the usual Continental HD, driven by esters and polish, plus some banana. On the palate, esters comes first with polish and "Crystal ball", plus some iodine that moves to the usual salty peanuts Continental Hampden always have
Review by Alexander Rasch
A very good Hampden. Very balanced and especially on the palate with great barrel influence. The nose almost a bit restrained compared to the Ed17. But on the palate the clear winner. Unfortunately came on the market in a strange magnum format. Since the sample will have to do.
Review by Linus94
Unfortunately, the funk gets lost in the long aging or is only faintly noticeable in the nose and on the palate. On the palate, besides the remaining funk, there are buttery and woody notes. The finish is a bit bitter.
