Hampden Kill Devil (The Whisky Barrel) C<>H 2007
Open in the app
What surprises people first is the dessert side: several tasters get a "Joghurteis mit Amarenakirschen" thing — yogurt-cherry ice cream — alongside the pineapple-and-banana Hampden ester wall. This continental-aged C<>H is a bit young, so it leans fruity and concentrated over deep complexity. At 63.5%, the alcohol is mostly well tucked in. A slight bitter, leathery tail bugs a few drinkers.
The community says- Pineapple-banana esters
- Cherry-yogurt note
- But: Bitter, leathery finish

I think they are simply delicious. Especially the buttery and beautiful yogurt-cherry flavor is amazing. Reminiscent of a yogurt ice cream with Amarena cherries. One of my Hampden favorites even though it's continental. Basically different but also really good. Super bottling!!!

Very easy to drink and greedy. Not very complex. A little bit like Port Mourant but much more fruity. Quite intense but slight lack of length (still present but quite low intensity).
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid c<>h Hampden, but for me personally much too intense after marzipan. Almost has something of the liquid with which mon cheri are filled. In the finish I find it a bit tiringly leathery and bitter...

Crosstasting C◇H 1st Kill Devil 2. FRC C◇H 3. the Duchess 4. TBRC Frankenstein 5. the Whisky Jury All in all, a surprising result that I would never have guessed before. It's a shame that this bottling is no longer available at a decent price.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
03.01.2020 In a cottage with friends for the weekend with a few bottles of rum. Notes: Light in colour. Nose: Intense, fruitcake, coconut, light wood, light roasted, ester. Palate: Balanced, wood, light roasted, fruity, citrus, pineapple, herbs, spice. Finish: Very long and warm, fruity, cherry, light caramel.
Review by John Coffey
Hampden a little too young and therefore lacks a little complexity. But this smoky side at the end of the mouth and this aromatic mouth full of bananas, pineapples and olives is very good !
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Oh Hampden, my Hampden: Ester, pineapple, pineapple, and pineapple. And ester. The only thing standing in the way of a better rating is a slight bitter note in the finish and the alcohol could be better integrated. But criticism at a high level.
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 smell wild esters, after which your whole body soaks up the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".
Review by Mr. Stups
On a par with the two 10-year-old casks. Super quality
