People deep into Hampden will feel at home here: this 29-year continental-aged 1992 pot-still leans fruity and soft rather than wild. Expect overripe banana, pineapple, a little citrus and salty creamy nuts, with wood and black tea underneath. Several tasters call out the restrained esters and how well the 58.2% is tucked in. One catch worth knowing — a few note the finish runs short.

How does CoR Hampden Jamaica Ed. 4 1992 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Soft, fruity old-Hampden sipper A loved, fruit-forward Hampden that trades wild funk for balance and easy drinking. Most find it rich and expressive; a couple say it's a touch too vegetal and sour, with a short finish.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
great sipping Hampden. nice complexity... When it comes to 92 Hampdens, this is one of the few that I like. But it doesn't come close to the Rum Nation or the CDI. Overall a little too herbal and sour.
Review by cigares
Tasting CoR, Rum Club Switzerland. An expressive, fruity nose with soft esters and moderate strength. Overripe pineapple, other tropical fruits, black tea, and oak. The palate is very beautiful, smooth, rich, and expressive. Lots of fruit but balanced with other aromas: wood, black tea, and vanilla. The finish is on fruits, tropical fruits, then wood, and finally black tea. A very beautiful rum, perfectly balanced, rich in aromas, and very drinkable, a great success!
Review by Oliver
Excellent Hampden! Little acidity and great herbal spice. Has more wood than the sister cask (Ed. 5) and less funk. Makes really fun!
Review by Jakob
Great Hampden, a bit "softer" than the sister barrel, with both playing at an impressive level.

Palate Warm, medium intense, light ester, light wood, fruity, overripe, faint floral, light vegetal, light citrus, light banana, faint chocolate, faint mint. Finish Long and warm, light wood, fruits, light citrus, faint mint, faint floral, light ester. The empty glass has very nice chocolate and light marzipan.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nose very fruity, rather little ester.... Alcohol very well integrated. In the mouth a bit more bite without being intrusive.... also here nice fruit but also ne portion of wood. But seems nicely balanced. One of the better 1992s I could taste. * Rum needs mMn at least 30min in the glass.

92 points for a 92 Hampden, it’s justified. SDR23
Review by Beancheese
In October 2023, I spent an amazing night sampling rums at Bar Little Happiness in Hiroshima and then purchased some samples for the road. The bar owner was an incredibly kind host and provided me this sample as a present on leaving. This was a lovely, balanced Hampden. All the notes you want and expect to find but in great balance. Esters were there but contained, nice fruit, hints of wood, with a slight smoke like leather. The nose had something fresh and green about it and the palate had a slight herbal, tobacco quality. Thank you for the amazing experience and for the lovely gift.
Review by Righrum
A great continental Hampden. Esters, over and underripe bananas some citrus and with the lightly salty creamy nuts note that lingers the tongue. Also vanilla and ananas, a bit hidden but noticeable, will complete the profile. A lovely dram, great selection
Review by Master P
Nice soft and mild Hampden, after some time in the glass the initially reserved fruit basket of yellow fruits unfolds. Easy to drink and pleasant. Unfortunately, the finish is very short. But a good one.
Review by Johannes
Excellent Hampden! A little less fruity than the sister barrel!
Review by Gil Firth
I really like those continental Hampdens by IB. You shoul look for those our there. A clean tropical, brighter, sour take on hampden טעימה לא יודע למה הסגנון הבהיר הזה ממש מעניין אותי. מלא אננס. לקה. מלח. לימון. הולך ומתפתח. מתוק. מלוכלך. תרופות. מצויין
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
I really enjoyed this one.
Review by DosenZorn
Incredibly great Hampden. Nice fruity, easy drinking, but nicely versatile and complex. Again, you hardly see the age, but the continental maturity is clear on the palate. Great Hampden.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, legendary Jamaican distillery, which besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery you can sense wild esters, after which your whole body soaks in the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die"
Review by Ian Gilman
My first time getting to try several long aged Hampdens, all the way from OWM to DOK, and they all were phenomenal. What you trade in intensity over the years is more than made up for in the complexity and balance that all of them have. And the characteristic funk still comes through.
Review by Michael Schou
05-12-2024 Colours of Rum Tasting Really good Hampden. Age and fine ABV. smooth as f#+k. Only missing a bit higher mark
