Don't come to this expecting a Hampden ester bomb — it's a low-ester MJH3 mark, and that's the point. Sour pineapple juice, banana chips and berries sit next to black pepper, allspice and a whiff of plastic and wood smoke. One taster was "positively surprised by the complexity," finding older-tasting depth you don't usually get from a low-ester Hampden. Fruity, spicy, and different from the current high-ester crowd.
The community says- Loads of fruit
- Surprising complexity
- But: Low on ester

Summarized by AI from 18 community reviews.
Fruity low-ester Hampden with real spice Most tasters enjoyed it: lots of fruit and enough complexity for a low-ester mark. A couple felt it lacked ester punch, but several liked it precisely for being different.

Here is the winner of my little MJH3 tasting. In general, the MJH3 Mark didn't knock my socks off, the decision was very close. All 3 rums were very similar in profile! This one was a touch better than the competition in all respects.

02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 7 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, light pineapple, light apple, light caramel, spice. Palate Warm, medium spicy, light citrus, light wood, light caramel, light ginger, apple, light floral. Finish Medium long, wood, fruity, medium spicy, faint chocolate, light citrus.
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted at Liquid Leuven ‘25 It opens a bit atypical on the nose for a low ester Hampden. In addition to all the expected, typical markers such as pineapple juice, berries and plastic, it offers more complex aromas usually found in older material. I wouldn’t be half surprised if something got blended in at some point. Unfortunately with casks changing hands it’s impossible to ever know for sure. The palate continues in the same trend. Sour pineapple juice and banana chips combined with a hefty dose of black pepper, allspice and incense. Bresilienne nuts, light brown sugar and fresh banana lead into a medium length finish with a touch of plastic and wood smoke. I’m honestly positively surprised by the complexity.

06/02/2026: Road Rummers S09T03 @ TasTToe. This was an interesting Hampden, it had a different flavour profile and was rather unique. First time tasting this MJH3 mark and pleasantly surprised. It obviously is a low ester mark but still with enough complexity.
Review by Stijn Zino
Roadrummers s9t3 Whisky Jury tasting I like this one a lot. Low eester but still packs a punch. So much fruit. And something different then al the high ester releases these days from Hampden.
Review by Johannes
Good low ester brand. But lacks complexity and ester.
