Banana and pineapple ride in on the classic Hampden glue-and-ester punch, then a PX sherry finish layers in honey, dried apricot and a little sulphur. At cask strength it needs time in the glass, and a couple members say the alcohol isn't perfectly tucked in — fair, for a rum aged just one year. For the ester share it delivers, several call it wildly good for its age.

How does Hampden S.B.S Bottled for THE UK RUM CLUB HGML 2021 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young Hampden ester bomb with a PX sherry layer Well-liked as a young HGML done right: fruity esters with a PX layer some find a touch dominant. The heat isn't fully integrated, but reviewers forgive it given the single year in cask.

I’m usually not into PX-cask aging, but with high-ester Jamaicans I sometimes find it quite fitting. And an HGML is already one of my favorite marks. So let’s see... Nose: both the esters and the PX are clearly present. Banana and pineapple together with glue paired with slight sulfur and dried apricot. Fine vinegar notes and a honey sweetness round it off. Pleasant, could be a bit less PX. 8.2 Palate: pleasant esters, distinct PX. Lemon with pineapple and some banana. Slightly bitter and almost salty at the start, then slightly dull and sulfurous, but with a certain sweetness and hints of bacon-like umami. Here too, the PX finish is a bit too dominant for me, but overall a relaxed drop. 8.0

A funky Jamaican rum. The nose is not as intense or funky as expected, while the palate is much more playful, with plenty of esters and dried fruit. The alcohol is less well integrated. An interesting experience, but not quite my type.
Review by Timo Groeger
And on we go watching the Tour de France. Hopefully a more exciting stage than yesterday regarding the favorites. Super Hampden in my opinion, again esters, pineapple, and banana. Yeah, very tasty anyway.

Review by Leo Krüper
Needs a lot of time.Very nice nose, then in the mouth little of the PX barrel, but also the marrow holds back.The finish is quite short and the alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but one should note the short storage of only one year.Very rare bottling and virtually unavailable.
Review by Johannes
I like it well! Px barrel is rather restrained, alcohol not perfectly integrated, but complexity definitely present. For only one year storage insanely good!
Review by Rumpalumpa
For such a short cask aging, the PX cask is probably just right. On the nose, it harmonizes with the glue and esters. On the palate, however, it becomes more noticeable how young it is. Sherry and esters in the finish.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Sherry cask influence is present. Esters with pineapple and banana. Balanced. Taste: Esters, pineapple and bananas. Sherrycask brings dark notes and some acidic notes. A bit alcoholic, but in overall for a young rum, this is balanced. Finish: Esters, Sherry and pineapple notes. Medium finish. I think this is a good Jamaican rum with sherry cask influence. No surprises in the notes, but good balance and certain roundness makes this a good rum in that category.
Review by Deadfame
Light golden color. Aroma of dull esters. Full of bananas, pineapple, and some other perfumed note I can't identify but I like it. The taste matches that. Finish is medium and bitter.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery you can sense wild esters, which make your whole body soak in the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".
