Review by Rummiamo
Profumo chiaramente riconoscibile, è un hampden a tutti gli effetti: frutta, colle, potenza aromatica. In bocca molto equilibrato vengono fuori spezie, vegetale e balsamico, sempre con il profilo hampden sullo sfondo. Il legno mi ha stupito, più tendente al legno verde, elegante e fresco. Questo rum ha però un enorme problema che non è risolvibile, ce ne sono poche bottiglie in giro.
Review by Righrum
A great Hampden, very well balanced! The mix of tropical and continental ageing gives both strength and elegance.
Review by ilRummista
Un grande Hampden con invecchiamento in parte continentale. Naso ricco. Esteroso quanto basta e carico di frutta tropicale. Palato rotondo ed equilibrato. Finale deciso e abbastanza lungo. Un Hampden deciso, complesso ma che si lascia bere veramente tanto. Uno dei migliori Hampden assaggiati negli ultimi 18 mesi!
Review by Master P
Wirklich ein schöner Hampden, in der Nase und am Gaumen kommt genau das an, was man von einem Hampden erwartet. Sehr ausbalancierte Frucht und Esternoten, und der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Preis ist für die Qualität e ht in Ordnung & das Design finde ich auch sehr ansprechend.
Review by Steve Obwexer
Beautifully balanced rum, rich in ester
Review by Rum Freund
I particularly like the fruitiness here, I find it very balanced and yet full of power😊
Review by F.L.O.
Da kommt Freude auf. Ein sehr schöner Hampden mit viel Frucht, Ester und ein wenig Holz. Die 9 Jahre reichen absolut aus für dieses Profil. Da braucht es gar nicht mehr, Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Der Preis passt auch einigermaßen …auch wenn es vergleichbare Destillate für ein paar Euronen weniger gibt.
Review by zabo
Edit: nochmal als Mixer probiert. Mehr als zufrieden damit. Nochmal ein bisschen nach oben korrigiert Um es kurz mit den Worten meiner Söhne zu beschreiben, riecht nach Sommerurlaub, Apfel, Banane und Apfel. Mehr als riechen durften die aber nicht. Für mich ein sehr ausgewogener und ausbalancierter Rum. Wobei mir für das Mark ein wenig der Funk im Mund fehlt leider, was ihn eine bessere Bewertung leider verwährt. Aber alles in allem scheint der 2014er Jahrgang ein sehr gutes Jahr zu sein.

#4726 18.05.2024 Sitting at home enjoying a few samples. Nose Fresh, light wood, fruity, ester, balanced, pineapple, overripe. Palate Round, balanced, ester, fruity, light roasted wood, banana, overripe, spice, faint floral. Finish Medium long, light wood, ester, round, light vegetal, dried fruit, light citrus. The empty glass has light herbs and some chocolate. This is a very well rounded and mild <> H in my mind and it could easily be an every day rum actually 😊
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
A surprise tasting 24th of May 2024. Very flavorful. I got tropical fruits, ester and a fruity scent in the nose. The notes was also fruity, with both tropical and overripe fruits, ester and light wood
Review by Schnubbi
Schöner "smoother" <>H, mit dem typischen Profil, jedoch ohne die Wildheit und Kanten eines CoR oder das junge Holz eines WDC, eher etwas leichter im Vergleich. Sehr ausgewogen, lecker und süffig, vermag mich aber nicht komplett zu begeistern. Dennoch ein sehr guter <>H.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Valinch & Mallet ist dem Morisco ziemlich ähnlich. Die Unterschiede sind marginal. Auch hier ist der Alkohol gut eingebunden, er könnte fast als Sipper durchgehen. Im Abgang ist die Bitternote noch etwas ausgeprägter ggü. dem Morisco
Review by Dr.Django
Sehr lecker! Die Esterdröhnung steht hier eher im Hintergrund, auch wenn der typische Jamaica Funk vorhanden ist. Dieser Hamoden ist fast schon ein Gaumenschmeichler. Der Fruchtkorb im Mund verweilt leider nicht allzu lange. Im besten Fall kann man sich einfach noch einen Schluck gönnen.
Review by SaibotZtar
Bäähm dieser Rum haut ordentlich in die F....e 😁. Volle Ester Power mit viel Frucht und etwas Holz ... leicht zickig bissig zu anfang was mich überhaupt nicht stört... Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden für sie kurze Lagerung. Im Mai Tai kommt er gut allerdings fehlt hier (wie erwartet 🤣🤣) der Holzige Part der für mich sehr wichtig ist (zb ein LP) . Toller Stoff .... Preis ist allerdings etwas zu hoch 😒
