Sip this slowly and neat — at cask strength it fills the mouth but the alcohol sits well-integrated. Classic Hampden ester and glue meet overripe pineapple and banana, then a PX sherry finish folds in raisins and a little smoke. Most tasters enjoy the funk-meets-sherry combo; a vocal camp of purists feels the sherry blankets the raw C<>H marque they came for.
The community says- Big ester punch
- Integrated alcohol

How does Hampden Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica Rum HD C<>H 2007 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Cask-strength Hampden with a PX sherry twist Well-liked overall — funk chasers enjoy the ester-and-sherry mix, though several purists feel the PX finish softens and partly masks Hampden's signature edges.
Is it right for you?
Yes, if you're after bold, tropical, funky rums for sipping neat.

Very good rum! Not on the same level as the previous one and the impact of the Sherry cask make it worsen in direct comparsion to the GRF 10 version. The alcohol is integrated much better(during the sherry cask), but the finish is shorter.

23-05-2025 - Rate 7.9 Had high hopes for this rum. Everything is looking right. Age, mark and ABV. But this one have had to much maturation on a sherry cask. Perhaps a wet sherry cask. The sherry note in nose and especially taste is to much for me.
Review by Frank
Another combination that can go well: high ester and sherry. Let's see how this one is. ABV is right, the dark color is probably also due to the PX.Nose: intense esters with sweet and sour pineapple are immediately present. Behind that, however, I immediately detect the PX finish with its sweet-woody-smoky aromas. A slight lemon freshness and a vinegar note are just as there as marzipan and resinous wood. Pleasant and balanced.Palate: there must have been some PX in the barrel. Because you almost have it here before the esters. Sweetish sherry, almost brandy. Sweetish-sour, woody-smoky. Something like rum-raisin with pineapple. Alcohol is quite well integrated.Sherry and pineapple with a slight smoky note in the finish.Good drinkable, but for me too much sherry on the palate.

Oha, the wooden sticker can what!
Review by Lukas Jäger
So here is number 3 of the C<>H from Flensburg. That he does not rank kommt to number 1, was actually clear, but also to number 2 (GRF 21), which represents the other of the barrel, the distance is large. I'm generally not a fan of finishes and just sherry usually scares me off and so I find myself confirmed again here. Despite a dark note that is unusual for Hampden Wher, the nose seems rather dull and not very brute, as one is used to with C<>H. The palate confirms the marque with some positive associations, but delivers little in sum. Comparatively thin, well-behaved or just dull again and thus below the quality of its brethren. Here, the finish adds nothing, but suppresses corners and edges, which one looks for in such bottling as a nerd ...
Review by MarcT
A tasty Rum, with well integrated Alcohol and lots of Jamaican Funk. I get fruits, esters, all the stuff of high Ester and some burned wood/meat (only slightly, though). I am, however, conflicted about the finish. The Sherry is noteable but not dominating, and adds a bit to the sweetness. The Hampdens on the other hand are usually already quite flavorful, and do not need fancy finishes. I think it is interesting and well tasting, but some parts (not all, mostly the "heavier" ones) of the Sherry are not so well balanced against the C<>H. There is really no need to add additional flavours for this funk.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nice try.... for me not quite round the whole ...yet not what I would title "bad " ...the HD gene is almost lost for me, unfortunately ! PLV does not fit for me personally ... in addition, I would be interested by which influences are the significantly lower ABV to explain (GRF filling 1/2 of the barrel) the time wass yes rather not ✌️✌️
Review by Pavel Spacek
Not recognizable as Hamoden. I would bet this is lightly spiced rum ... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by Gregor
Wow what an esterbomb. Super intense, almost burning tones. Pleasant smell of Malaga. Highly recommended
Review by Adrian Wahl
After I have expressed myself on Facebook quite critical of the bottling I would like to make me but also times a real picture. Thanks for the sample at this point.Tasted against RX10460 (FRC GRF Release Hampden 2007 C<>H).In the nose you notice the sherry finish already because the typical 2007 C<>H essence does not come out wilrklich. In the mouth, it feels like the sherry finish has wrapped itself around the typical aroma like a cloak. Certainly it makes the rum more approachable for some. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the finish and it's also sadly 6% short of bottling from GRF. Still, a very exciting attempt by Oldman Spirits with the finish. Priced he was in my eyes of rum
Review by Christina L.
#noprofessional Complex aromas, wild combination of Malaga ice cream and overripe pineapple with subtle nuances of dark, toasty tones reminiscent of tobacco. A beautiful, exciting and thought-provoking rum. The high alcohol content gives this rum plenty of body and makes for a beautifully warm mouthfeel.
Review by Anatoli Schlee
Cherry finishes are of course a matter of taste and tend to be undervalued in this community. I am open/neutral to this type of aging and found this bottling potent (typical C<>H) with the typical influence of a PX cask. I don't find the PX cask influence necessarily disturbing. Maybe a touch too sweet. But it doesn't elevate the essence to new heights either. I would personally slightly prefer the un-finished version. Conclusion: we are talking about a aged High Ester Hampden at cask strength. All in all, PX finish or not, really good stuff. Edit 20251224: I treated myself to this bottling again today. PX finish somehow fits really well with Christmas, I think. New conclusion: quite different from the GRF bottling but not worse. Although the harmony between C<>H and PX is not perfect, this version is still fun. My rating remains the same.
Review by Martin Švojgr
So this HD suited me. Beautiful aroma and typical taste of the brand C <> H.
Review by Alex Kunath
Tastes good to me and the PX finish is not distracting.
Review by Frederik
Funk meets sherry! With well integrated 60.66% vol. and a shimmering umber brown, this stuff from the Hampden distillery comes into the glass. On the nose: typical Jamaica funk. Overripe tropical fruits meet raisins, combined with vanilla, glue, and roasted aromas. On the palate, the sherry finish spreads - a pleasant combination are the raisins with strawberries, banana, and solvent. The sweetness is there but not excessive or disturbing. The finish comes with light smoke and mocha. A great product, even if only to be enjoyed in small sips!
Review by Léo Delek
Very good Hampden despite the criticism because it changes from the usual pattern. The PX finish gives quite a bit of slightly fermented red fruit. First time for me but a very "fairy/blood" finish that lingers.
