Mango and papaya lead here, with brown sugar and a heavy, dry cask spice of anise and malt underneath. This is a Hampden that skips the glue-and-pineapple ester punch — several tasters blind-guessed it wasn't even Jamaican. One member called it the "benchmark for owh," and the wood is dry and complex rather than sweet. A creamy, low-ester Hampden that leans fruity and rounded.

- Low-ester, not glue

Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Creamy, fruity low-ester Hampden Loved by the people who tried it — a creamy, fruit-forward low-ester Hampden that fooled blind tasters. A touch alcoholic neat; a drop of water rounds it out.

Review by Jakob
Very tasty and extremely complex. Not an ester monster, more like a Hampden on the refined side, which has really benefited from the time in the barrel. Great selection – but that doesn't surprise me in the slightest when you see who got to select here.

#4722 09.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few of my Endemic Birds Samples. Nose Balanced, wood, light roasted, fruity, pineapple, spice, light citrus, faint leather. Palate Balanced, light, round, wood, faint smoke, fruity, cinnamon, light vegetal, clove. Finish Medium to long, round, wood, light smoke, light berries, faint chocolate. The empty glass has a light medicinal note, apples and faint caramel.
Review by Oliver
Very pleasant, creamy Hampden without the typical pineapple/ester notes. Mango and some papaya on the palate. Excellent OWH! Gets even better with a drop of water.
Review by zabo
Thanks Jakob for the donation to the Franconian Tasting Gang. Completely threw the specialists off the scent. No one could believe it was a Hampden OWH. If I hadn't known, I definitely wouldn't have guessed either. A really good rum.
Review by DomM
Tasted blind: Would have never guess Hampden let alone OWH. Best OWH I had so far tbh.
Review by Jarek
Jakob visits Franconian Tasting Gang: Blind tasting, brought by Jakob (thanks!). Wow, what a surprise! I would never have placed it in Jamaica. Alongside Appleton, the best proof that Jamaicans can taste excellent even beyond the ester hype.
Review by Christoph H.
Very good, drinkable and balanced Low Ester Hampden. Blood orange peel and grapefruit. Overripe boiled down tropical fruits like papaya, passion fruit, banana. Sweet molasses, brown sugar and toffee. Over all hovers a heaviness of spice from the barrel, anise, malt and herbs. Very round in the mouth, heavy fruity and molasses sweetness. The heavy spice pushes right behind and dominates with anise, malt and wood from the barrel. In the mouth remain anise and quince Very good tropically matured Low Ester Hampden and for me now more significant than the High Ester range.
Review by Johannes
Very good OWH!
Review by Serge
Best OWH I've tried. Tasted blind and I would never have guessed that. Almost guessed PM. On the palate a bit alcoholic but otherwise really very great.
Review by Schnubbii
Low-ester but still awesome.
