Hampden Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 24 HD Magnum <>H 2001
"Not a Hampden until the second sip," as one taster put it — then the fermented banana and pineapple show up. This is a 19-year cask-strength Continental Hampden: esters, solvent, burnt sugar and a buttery, candied-fruit side, with a bit more body and sweetness in the finish than its siblings. Several found it a touch tamer than expected; that's part of why it drinks so easily here.
- Banana-pineapple esters
- Great cask influence
- Drinks dangerously easy

Aggregated from 22 community reviews.
Smooth, candied 19-year Continental Hampden Most rate it highly — a rounder, slightly sweeter Hampden with great cask influence on the palate. A few wanted it fruitier or punchier, and the rotten-fruit ester note divides people.

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 mto75
The proximity of the two barrels is unmistakable. Both 19 continental years on the hump, the Ed. 24 additionally another half a year in the HD 92 Cask of the Ed. 18. Honestly, however, I must say that it is really difficult even side-by-side to make out differences on the nose. Surprisingly, I do notice differences on the palate. The Ed. 24 seems a bit more full-bodied, with more sweetness on the finish. But maybe it's just because of the 1.4% higher ABV and less because of the additional finish...it definitely adds another point over 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 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 Lukas Jäger
Erstaunlich, wie sich das Finish bemerkbar macht, obwohl das Finish ja doch aus der selben Ecke kommt. Etwas weniger bissig, vielleicht sogar runder und etwas mehr Fass sind am Gaumen wahrzunehmen. Ob ich ihn besser finde als den ursprünglichen ohne Finish, fällt mir gerade schwer zu sagen. Als Fan von High-Ester mag ich durchaus die kräftigen Ester, die hier etwas dezenter sind. Wahrscheinlich ist die Entscheidung hier einfach tagesform-abhängig.
Review by Tschusikowsky
In der Nase erstaunlich nuanciert was die gewürze angeht, früchtetechnisch ausbalancierter und auf der dezenteren Seite für eine Hampden. Schöner Abgang mit Süsse. Finish kommt hier sehr gut.
Review by Johannes
Für meinen Geschmack könnte er etwas fruchtiger sein.
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
