Poured neat, this is a classic Hampden <>H: glue and nail polish on the nose that blows off into grilled pineapple, mango and roasted almond. The palate is rich and juicy with overripe fruit, a little wood and cookie-like sweetness. Several tasters call the 58.8% "buttery" and easy to sip, and the funk sits at medium ester level rather than the sour extreme.
The community says- Balanced Hampden funk
- Juicy tropical fruit
- Keep in mind: Cask-strength heat

Review by DomM
From the freshly opened bottle, the rum starts off with intense funkiness. Very heavy on the glue and nail polish side of noses. With some time to breath it opens up end presents a nice Hampden nose. Grilled pineapple, some roasted notes and some almond paste mingling with the chemical notes as well as a sensation of freshness akin to fruit acid. Young <>Hs do work really well in book. Same on the palate: I just like this profile at this moderate age and this bottling is a good one of the vintage imo. Very rich on the palate with all the good stuff. Fruits, wood, roasted almonds and some sweetness. While intense, the chemical and glue-y notes are much less pronounced compared to the nose. Delightful stuff. Addon: Looking at a little 2013 <>H side-by-side today. On the nose the House of Cane bottling takes the crown with TCoR and Swells Constantia taking second place. The Nectar is the only real outlier, not able to compete with the pack. Roots comes with a bit more overripe notes, while TWJ is a bit stronger on solvent notes. Both are very nice as well. On the palate the crown goes to The House of Cane, again. Very high intensity with Hampden funk and fruits nicely balanced by some sweetness and cookie notes. CoR and TWJ both show an intense <>H profile as well, excellent. The SdS Constantia presents the most balanced profile. Very nice to drink indeed. Roots looses on the palate, unfortunately. There is a distinct note of lightly peated Whisky in the bottling. That’s not bad, but doesn’t benefit the rum imo. The Nectar, again, cannot fully win my heart. The cask presumably had less influence, leaving the bottling in a more alcoholic and less balanced state.
Review by zabo
Once again a nice 2013 <>H bottling. Thanks to DomM for sharing. Brings everything you'd expect from it and even a bit more. Alcohol is well integrated and quite drinkable in my opinion. From memory, this one easily makes it into the top group of the other 2013/2014 <>H from the cross comparison we had already made.
Review by Chrischi78
Fruity 2013 Hampden <>H with medium esters, tropical notes, some spice, and cane sweetness. Approachable, accessible, and exciting – ideal as an introduction to Jamaican rum. Great value for money, highly recommended!
Review by Basti
On the nose there are the expected markers you'd expect from a <>H, but the whole is very round and balanced. Quite intense on the palate with lots of fruit and a still pleasant astringency. The finish is expectedly long.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, it starts with typical funky Hampden markers like high esters, glue, nail polish, overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, banana and mango, roasted and spicy wood with marzipan, vanilla. On aeration, the molasses is vegetal, herbaceous, a bit flowery, sweet with honey, the wood spicier with cinnamon, roasted with dark chocolate, burnt sugar and confectionery.Citrus fruits like lime join the game on oxidation. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is funky, medicinal with esters, glue, tasty with delicious overripe tropical fruits, roasted wood notes like pastry, spicy with vanilla, salt and molasses with honey, herbaceous, vegetal with an olive.We quickly taste a bit sour side of this rum, but after some rest, by joining red fruits, we might think of tasting a marmelade. 8,7:The finish is long, dry with tannins, smoky wood and crunchy bread, roasted nuts, spicy, then medicinal with esters and quite strong rubber, the fruits are still overripe..
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Incredibly delicious intense, heavy, and dark roasted Hampden. Dark chocolate, mocha, roasted nuts, caramelized pineapple, lime zest, and pleasantly strong esters. Really, really good!! Could easily pass for much older blind. Really awesome stuff!
Review by Timo Groeger
Yes, this is a really tasty Hampden, it has everything you could wish for. Of course, delicious overripe bananas and pineapple, esters are naturally present too, but it’s also very funky, with glue and nail polish also noticeable.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
01.06.2025 Retasting while relaxing in front of the telly. Stille a very nice and fruity release with overripe fruits and intense nose. Love the fresh hint of coconut and faint honey notes in the profile. ---------------- #5377 30.08.2024-01.09.2024 Had a great time both before and after the event. Friday was opening party on a boat with Dirk and Saturday and Sunday meeting up with new and old friends German Rum Fest 2024
Review by Jakob
Great Hampden. Seven years of tropical maturation make for a very round, intense spectrum that knows how to inspire. Esters from tropical fruits, citrus aromas, gallant sweetness from the barrel maturation - Hampden fans will find little left to be desired here. A successful release, very good!
Review by Serge
Very tasty <>H from the 2013 batch. I can only agree with you: This one works very well and is definitely one of the better ones of the vintage. Nice spice on the finish. Thanks Dom for the sample and sharing.
Review by Johannes
Everything a Hampden needs!
Review by Christian Rudt
Once again a Hampden from 2013 , so the lowest of the four (very) High Ester heavyweight grades of the distillery. (900-1000) You should also give it a few minutes here so that besides nail polish and esters, the fruity aromas can come through. Taste-wise, we get a nice Hampden here as well. What stands out to me especially is the creamy texture, making it great for enjoying small sips. The finish is shaped by the partly tropical aging and shows a slightly woody-bitter note with a nice mango-orange touch. The alcohol is pretty perfectly integrated. Simply a very good Hampden.
Review by Schnubbii
A particularly well-balanced <>H from the current flood of <>H bottlings with somewhat toasty aromas. For me, it easily ranks among the top bottlings, but without reaching the class of a Nobilis No. 14 or a CoR HD 2013. Unfortunately comparatively expensive, I wouldn't spend the now €190 in German stores on it and would rather buy what I consider to be an equal bottling from Bottleshop (RX21615) for €50 less.
Review by w00tAN
Northern Lights Meeting 2025: On the nose, glue and nail polish which then give way to tropical fruits like mango. Also a certain "freshness." On the palate, intense, full-on overripe fruits, spice, and wood. Finish is long, starting spicy then turning bitter. DELICIOUS!
Review by Alex1981
Solid 2013 Hampden <>H, medium esters with lots of fruit and a little wood. Medium finish. Definitely fun and can be a good introduction to the world of Jamaica. Fair price, can only be recommended.
Review by Skyfly
What can I say? This is exactly my cup of tea! Tropical fruits like pineapple, banana and mango, esters, associations of glue on the nose - simply a dream! Alcohol couldn't be better integrated!
Review by ThreeH
Bright shining gold. Very nice. You can quickly recognize Hampden on the nose. Lots of esters. Tropical fruit notes and quite a bit of solvent. Similar aromas to the RX17342 tasted at the same time, but somehow a bit tamer. Pleasing on the palate but still very intense. Very nice fruit tester, not too funky, with rounding glue notes. With the slightly lower ABV of 58.8% compared to the other two tasted RX24987 and RX17342, it’s nicer/easier to sip for my taste. Also here, a long delicious finish that ends on a very slight (and therefore more pleasant) bitterness. Just barely took second place in comparison.
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
Beautiful <>H with bold esters coming through in tones of polish and nail varnish, layered with tropical fruits like pineapple and citrus that pop right from the start. The palate follows up with intense and juicy fruit depth, a hint of lime peel bitterness, some spicy notes and a touch of sugarcane sugar sweetness. The finish leans a bit mild for my taste, lacking that final burst of flavours I’d like to sense, but overall, it’s a very nice Hampden that’s definitely worth a try!
Review by Jarek
Nice, tasty Hampden. Very smooth, without rough edges, which doesn't mean it lacks character. Fruity nose, with lots of esters, glue, but also marzipan. Hardly any wood and very well integrated alcohol.
Review by Arya_NBV
Compared to Hampden 15 (RX25041): Wilder. Glue, fruit, and sweetness are more present. The 58% ABV brings more punch. The individual components of the <>H are present. I like it better than the Hampden 15. Hampden 15 is somehow calmer, more flexible, for example if you want to drink a tasty rum. You have to actively choose the House of Cane when the mood fits.
Review by DeMaddin
Fruity, intense Hampden. Depicts the <>H Mark very well. I like it, intense nose with nice funky, fruity aromas. On the palate too. Spicy, slightly woody finish with lovely fruity notes. Intense 2013 Hampden<>H.
Review by Rumpilot
Nose: full-on nail polish/nail polish remover and fruit. Maybe a bit of wood too. I find it very interesting. The alcohol also hits hard. But everything is neat and within limits. On the palate, full overripe fruit and chemical notes. Just as expected. Wonderful! Light wood and roasted aromas come through. The alcohol is well integrated. I’d say it’s immediately easy-drinking. The finish is quite long and also very good. Glue, nail polish/remover, fruit (mango), light wood, roasted and spicy. At the very end, I think I taste fruit and something that reminds me of a metallic flavor if you lick it. Conclusion: very good and easy-drinking rum.
Review by Volkmar Weber
Wonderfully fruity with enough punch and funk, but without the acidity of the Hochester-Hampdens. An elegant, smooth sipper with complex depth and a buttery, harmonious 58.8% that you can't really smell or taste at any time. 2013 vintage, tropical and continental matured. A little pearl with a fine PLV.
Review by Henry Davies
A big brash hampden nose. Tropical fruit, pineapple and glue. The mouth is fruity with glue and esters, really intense. The finish builds and brings real heft, wood and a hint of smoke with some mango and tropical fruit. It’s big, unapologetic and a classic hampden. Not the best or most refined but powerful enjoyable dram
Review by Vladimír Rejholec (AlkoTip)
11/2024 Trnava Excellent <>H. Lots and lots of sweetness, overripe fruit, nail polish, integrated alcohol, roundness, long finish. I like Hampdens, but not the ones with too many esters. 900-1000 gr/hLPA looks like the ideal limit.

Very decent and well balanced. Quite rare because this is a super banana heavy Hampden. Well done
