Hampden S.B.S Bottled for THE UK RUM CLUB HGML 2021
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?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
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.

Review by Frank
Ich stehe eigentlich nicht auf PX-Cask Ausbau, alleine bei High-Ester Jamaikanern finde ich es manchmal doch recht passend. Und ein HGML gehört schon zu meinen Lieblings-Marks. Also mal schauen… Nase: sowohl die Ester als auch das PX sind ganz klar da. Banane und Ananas zusammen mit Klebstoff gepaart mit leichtem Schwefel und getrockneter Aprikose. Feine Essig-Noten und eine Honig-Süße runden ab. Angenehm, könnte gerne etwas weniger PX sein. 8,2 Gaumen: angenehme Ester, deutliches PX. Zitrone zusammen mit Ananas und etwas Banane. Leicht bitter und fast salzig zu Beginn, dann leicht dumpf und schwefelig, aber mit einer gewissen Süße und mit Anklängen von speckigem Umami. Auch hier ist mir das PX-Finish etwas zu dominant, insgesamt aber ein entspannter Tropfen. 8,0
Review by Leo Tomczak
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!
