Wu Dram Clan Hampden Jamaican Rum (Flickenschild) SCJB 2024
This one splits the room, and mostly not in its favor: people came expecting Hampden funk and got a quieter, wood-and-spice Jamaican instead. Nose is the nice part — yellow tropical fruit, pastries, vanilla, a little nail polish. On the palate the alcohol runs hot and slightly rough, with a bitter, metallic edge on the dry finish. Several tasters guessed a heavy Clarendon share.
- Fruity pastry nose
- Long dry finish
- 15-Year pot still

How does Wu Dram Clan Hampden Jamaican Rum (Flickenschild) SCJB 2024 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Hot, low-funk Jamaican that underwhelms Most tasters landed on "good, but below expectations." Pleasant fruity-pastry nose, then hot, sharp-edged and a touch bitter on the palate — and almost no of the Hampden funk people wanted.

Review by LukaŽiga
8,2:On the nose, the first touch we get are overripe tropical fruits with caramelized fermented pineapple, overriden with baking spices, strong cinnamon and pastries. We cannot forget nails polish. After airing a bit, there is cookie dough and toasted wood with dried fruits, becomes roasted after a while and well balanced. We notice some flowery touch then and ginger. In the end it is more medicinal, metallic, with leather note and a bit dry. 8,5:On the palate, the first attack are ripe, velvety tropical fruits with confectionery, like fruit cake or brioche then intense peppery spiciness that quickly goes away and baking spices come instead. After it gets a bit metallic, bitter and dry. The fruits become dried, everything goes towards more balance, the wood toasted and there are some yellow fruits and biscuits. 8,6:The finish is long with dried fruits, tropical fruits, pastries, maple, some spiciness, baking spices, toasted wood, very round, a bit dry...
Review by Johnny Rumcask
In der Nase alkoholisch, Ester, eindeutig Jamaika. Entsprechend im Mund, etwas tropische Früchte kommen noch dazu, allerdings schleicht sich eine leicht bittere Fehlnote ein. Alkohol ist nicht gut eingebunden. Die ganze Mischung ist ok, aber nicht mehr. Da gibt es für weniger Geld mehr und Besseres aus Jamaika. Mittelmäßig beschreibt das Ganze im Ergebnis recht treffend.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Subtle scent, it must be some low ester product ala owh or lfch. Never mind, if you let the rum sit, you get a lovely Jamaican perfume. Flavour-wise it may be more towards the Clarendon profile, which I don't care for, but what bothers me is the blandness. I enjoyed Hampden 8 more.
Review by Mentalo
Der Blend überzeugt mich leider nicht. Alkohol ist nicht sonderlich gut eingebunden. Der Clarendon Anteil scheint deutlich größer als der Hampden Anteil zu sein. Von dem kommt nämlich relativ wenig durch. Leichte Gewürznote, Holz. Der Abgang ist noch am besten mit einer leicht fruchtigen Note
Review by Basti
Leider kann die Abfüllung auch mich nicht wirklich überzeugen. Insgesamt ist er mir einfach zu jung und zu zahm. Die Nase ist sehr verhalten (wird mit der Zeit etwas besser) und auch am Gaumen passiert einfach nicht viel. Alkohol ist mir auch etwas zu präsent.
Review by Martin Švojgr
My expectations were high, but I was surprised by the alcohol content immediately after smelling it. I let the glass rest for 10 minutes and the sharpness disappeared. You can tell it's Jamaica (clarendon, perhaps?), the classic flavours are obvious. But what surprised me is the taste of green apple, which I didn't expect here. Overall, I'd say it probably needed a longer stay in the barrel to sharpen the edges of the alcohol.
Review by Master P
Leider insgesamt eher enttäuschend. Alkoholisch, Bitter, metallisch und würzig, trocken. Von sonst typischen Gewürz und Frucht Aromen geschweige denn von Funk find ich hier leider nichts. Alles in allem reicht ein sample um sahen zu können ist nicht meins.
Review by RumTaTa
Noticeable alcoholic spiciness on the nose and quite restrained for Jamaican origin. Yellow fruits. I suspect that the proportion of (young?) Clarendon is comparatively high. The taste seems to confirm this: there are few Hampden-typical aromas and I am very reminded of the various Clarendon bottlings from Rest & Be Tankful. On the palate, the alcohol is no longer so noticeable. The finish is long and dominated by a fruity sweetness (yellow fruits again), light salty notes and a dry mouthfeel. All in all, not bad, but I think there are more exciting blends out there.
Review by Dr.Django
Unfortunately unexpectedly alcoholic and light on the palate. The funky Jamaica aromas are somewhat restrained. It reminds me more of the Habitation Forsyths bottlings from Velier than of Hampden or Clarendon. Just a step down in quality. thanks @rumtata for the sample
Review by mto75
I like it better on the nose than on the palate, where it comes across as somewhat unrounded and sharp-edged. It would be interesting to compare it directly with the S&C Traditional Jamaica Rum.
Review by Christian Rudt
In der Nase vor allem Gebäck und natürlich auch tropische Frucht. Das ganze allerdings auch deutlich alkoholisch. Im Prinzip wie ich den ungeklärten Smith & Cross blend in Erinnerung habe. Am Gaumen empfinde ich den Rum eher flach. Eine ordentliche Portion Bitterkeit kommt nach ein paar Minuten hinzu. Im Finish auch nicht besonders einprägsam.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Eine interessante Nase, da sie eine Mischung aus Backgewürzen und einem Blumenstrauß ist. Am Gaumen das volle Brett Holz uns viel Alkohol. Hier verliert der Rum mich etwas da ich ihn tatsächlich anstrengend finde. Der Abgang ist trocken, Holzlastig und lang. Muss man mögen.
Review by Buddudharma
Eher unspektakulärer Blend. Gut integrierter Alkohol, aber das Profil ist nicht wirklich stimmig, da gibt es Besseres…
Review by F.L.O.
Meine erste WDC Enttäuschung. Riecht nach einem sehr jungen Jamaikaner. Früchte und Alkohol kommen im nosing zuerst zum Vorschein, dann noch ein bisschen Holz. Im Geschmack dominiert der Alkohol und auch nach längerem Stehen-lassen wird es nicht wirklich besser. Im Abgang kommt dann endlich der Jamaikaner zur Geltung. Summa summarum gut, aber weit unter der Erwartung. Hab ne Flasche übrig falls die einer will…
Review by Boletus
Gefällt mir an sich ganz gut und hat auch wirklich schöne Seiten an sich, vor allem, wenn man im Mund die anfägliche alkoholische Schärfe überwunden hat, aber irgendwie ist er auch etwas zu harsch und kantig, um mich wirklich zu überzeugen.
Review by Schnubbi
Recht jung und harsch, Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Sorry, den finde ich nicht wirklich gelungen.
Review by Thunderbird
Somehow I can't do anything with this blend. While I still find the nose quite pleasant with delicate yellow fruits, vanilla and cookies, the rum totally loses me on the palate... there is nothing of Hampden or Jamaican funk. I only perceive spices and wood in the foreground. It also feels light. On the finish I taste an unpleasant bitter note... somehow the whole thing doesn't fit together for me. Too bad, I had expected much more
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unfortunately rather disappointing overall. Alcoholic, bitter, metallic and spicy, dry. Unfortunately, I can't find any of the otherwise typical spice and fruit aromas here, let alone any funk. For me, it tastes like another extra overproof Smith & Cross but is rather one-dimensional overall. Too bad.
