How crazy is that, what arrives on the nose! Overripe mango, papaya, dried dates, marzipan, gingerbread, sweet potato, I also imagine some beet. All very concentrated and harmonious, thanks to 18 years of tropical maturation. The finish in a cognac cask also fits very well here. On the palate, cake and spice mix, barrel, slightly tart, long finish. Many thanks to Rod for the sample!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb selection of Plantation by Cuvée des Addicts. On the nose, it's an olfactory slap in the face. Jamaican funk hits hard with notes of esters, solvents, nail polish and glue, but is quickly overtaken by a basket of ripe exotic fruits (banana, pineapple, mango, papaya, sour cherry, lime, orange) that embalm the nostrils. Empyreumatic (smoky) and meaty (meaty) notes follow, with a hint of spice and hints of umami, olive and wood. Subtle notes of marzipan add a touch of sweetness to this intense yet generous profile. The attack on the palate is succulent. Exotic fruit and citrus, olive, warm spices, wood and leather. As the tasting progresses, empyreumatic and smoked-meat notes make their return, along with a pleasant touch of saline and umami. Phenolic tannins and funk round off a very accomplished and structured Hampden, heterogeneous but in control of its subject. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish stretches endlessly between fruit, smoke, wood, salt, spice and phenolics, with a hint of caramel. The finish is almost chewy. A top-class Hampden, complete, balanced and delicious. The quality/price ratio of this cuvée was insane when it came out, so it's a pity it's a victim of its own success.

Une magnifique sélection ! Un peu dur à l’ouverture, il devient très rond avec du temps, un Hampden qui a beaucoup à offrir et qui sort du profil « typique » jamaïcain. Le côté solvant est bien fondu et laisse place à des fruits tropicaux et un côté « frangipane » très agréable. Super longueur
Review by Thunderbird
Ein richtig guter Hampden, sehr harmonisch und leicht zu genießen! Davon gerne mehr! Re-Tasting bei Dr. Django: Der Hampden ist wunderbar ausgewogen und sehr komplex. Der ABV ist in perfekter Trinkstärke. Ich setze ihn um 0,1 Phnkte höher. Die 9 hat er absolut verdient
Review by Leo Tomczak
Geiler Hampden, der alles bietet was man sich wünscht. Etwas Süße, etwas Holz, etwas Cognacfass. Tolle tropische Lagerung zu super PLV. Tropischer Fruchtkorb mit buttriger Konsistenz. Im Direktvergleich zum TRC 2001 <>H viel dunkler und reifer.
Review by cigares
Un nez complexe, fruité avec du boisé jeune, des fruits tropicaux et des esters. Mais aussi de l’olive et de la colle à bois. Les arômes sont tout de suite présents en bouche avec toujours ce côté olive, épicé, mais aussi de l’umami, beaucoup d’umami et du cuir. Une finale très longue sur l’umami, l’ananas rôti.
Review by Tom Buteneers
What a nose, the smell just fills up the room 😍 amazing value for money, very happy with this addition to my rum cabinet! Fruity ester explosion 💥 Edit: compared to RX16246 and RX15544 The nose is inviting, luscious. It has an extra layer to it, it’s sweeter (influence from the cognac barrel?), also a bit more dry in the cheeks (tannines, more influence from the wood?), with more dept and complexity.

#4230 This is a great rum and than you Rodolphe for making it available 😊 The nose ven be picked up from a mile away, OK, maybe not a full mile, but it's easy to pick up and it just gets better while resting. A heavy very well balanced profile. Perfect ABV and wood integration. Fruity with some glue and medicinal notes. Medium sweet and oily palate and a very long finish. Draws wonderful slow moving curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some chocolate and marzipan.
Review by Rodolphe
Olala quel nez super! Un grand arôme de chez savanna mais en Jamaïque! Encore une fois la preuve que le fût de Cognac se marrie e à la perfection avec les rhums plein d'esters pour donner un mélange fruité et gourmand façon bonbon arlequin! La bouche est assez fidèle au nez avec un mélange de fruits, de colle cléopâtre (donc d'amande) et de vieux cuir. L'alcool très bien intégré au nez pique un peu en bouche mais je suis sensible au delà de 55/60 alors ça ne gênera pas les fans 😉 Quelle réussite à un prix génial, merci aux addicts et à plantation! On ne peut dire la même chose de tous les embouteilleurs...

Complexe, pas trop extrême, un très beau rhum !
Review by Morgan Garet
Wouah, tout ce que j'aime de la Jamaïque. C'est gourmand, fruité, boisé, épicé, fumé avec des solvants de la vanille et des notes fraîches et fruitées en finale. TOP
Review by Adrian Wahl
Was für ein geiler Release. Erneut zeigt Plantation, dass man herausragende Abfüllungen für bezahlbares Geld anbieten kann. Hampden 2001 <>H mit 18 Jahren tropischer Reifung. All das für 149€. Absolut geniales Teil. Den Old Brothers HD 2001, sehe ich einen ganz kleinen Hauch vorne, aber sehr knapp.
Review by Mike H.
Another great Hampden from Plantation. A tropical fruit and spice bomb. A big thank you to Rod for the sample.
