#4702 20.04.2024 Relaxing at home after a long stressful week at work. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, ester, pineapple, banana, spice, light earthy, fruity. Palate Warm, medium dry, light wood, ester, banana, overripe, light earthy, faint chocolate. Finish Long and warm, light wood, ester, fruity, light tobacco, faint smoke. Draws nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has stronger chocolate and light mint. Price to quality is OK in my mind.
Review by SaibotZtar
Fruity delicious C<>H . Nose full fruit bomb with neat ester . Alcohol barely perceptible --> Very well integrated. In the mouth it falls off a bit for me ... despite much fruit (pineapple, papaya banana) . In the finish then something bitter with a portion of wood. It lacks me something the creaminess and mouthfeel what other H<>C have. Just the FRC JMC sets the benchmark here for me (continental). I had hoped that we come close .... unfortunately not managed. All in all, however, a top bottling with good PLV.

Everything a Hampden needs! I find him really successful!
Review by zabo
Edit Edit: super great mixer Edit: Crosstasting C◇H 1st Kill Devil 2. FRC C◇H 3. the Duchess 4. TBRC Frankenstein 5. the Whisky Jury So far it's only been a quick test at lunchtime. Really good for a continental. The alcohol is well integrated, which makes it quite drinkable. A very dangerous addition to the cabinet for me. But I'll try it again next time against the H<>C from TBRC. Let's see who comes out on top.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wirklich guter Kontinentaler Hampden! Bringt alles mit was man sucht. Einer der besten 2007er für mich, kommt aber nicht an die GRF Edition die Jahre davor ganz ran, dennoch eine tolle Ester Bombe, lecker.
Review by Alex1981
Klasse C<>H! Sehr fruchtig und dennoch astringent mit typischen Ester Noten. Alkohol toll integriert, genau das richtige Alter. Reine Essenz von HD ohne Schnörkel oder viel Komplexität (im positiven Sinne). //update: confirmed! Solider Hampden für klasse PLV
Review by Martin Augustin
A really successful and classic Hampden with a top PLV. Very fruity on the nose and on the palate. Lots of citrus fruits and some marzipan on the finish. The alcohol is well integrated.
Review by mto75
Today the FRC C<>H has to prove itself against the FRC JMC. First impression: the C<>H is good, very balanced on the nose, with tropical fermented fruit, not too aggressive. The JMC bottle has been open for a long time now, and everything has oxidized properly. I find it all the more astonishing that the JMC still comes across a touch more potent: more intense, more complex, more dairy products and pastries, at the same time quite a bit of lemon fizz...the JMC is also slightly ahead on the palate. However, when I evaluate the C<>H standalone, I can also say that this was a pretty good cask!
Review by Jakob
Lots of barrel influence, tart spicy and woody notes, obligatory fruit aromas of pineapple, banana, papaya and lime, heavy, almost honey-like sweetness in the background. Solid Hampden that has too many barrel notes for me.
Review by Leo Krüper
Lots of lemon yogurt with overripe bananas. And of course rough power with the 66%. Ranks with the powerful 2007s C<>H. Beautiful bottling.
Review by Vincent D
On the palate, I initially find it very astringent. It's very fruity and funky. A hint of menthol on the finish. No doubt about its origin. But not at the level I was expecting. I would have liked better integration of the alcohol.
Review by Serge
Generally quite mild and receding with very mild esters (for a c<>h 😂). Alcohol retention very good. Very easy to drink but also not a favorite rum.
Review by Timo Groeger
Das ist mal ein sehr guter Rum, wie fast alle Hampdens. Kommt in der Nasr recht alkoholisch rüber, aber auch Zitrusfrüchte sind zu erkennen. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls Zitrusfrüchte und auch Ester kann man schmecken. Insgesamt sehr kräftig, aber Alkohol gut eingebunden.
Review by Agricoler
Meiner Meinung nach ein sehr leckerer Hampden anders als der 2007er Kill Devil. Der FRC hat mehr pflanzliche und Säure betonte Komponenten. Dies empfinde ich als sehr spannend und echt schmackhaft. Schöne Abfüllung.
Review by Mirco
Schöner kontinentaler Hampden, bei dem der Ester nicht zu kurz kommt. Schöne Frucht jedoch etwas viel Holz und Bitterstoff. Macht Spass und zum Release ein gutes PLV. Auch Alkohol ist prima eingebunden.
