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.
The community says- Fruity pastry nose
- Long dry finish

How does Wu Dram Clan Hampden Jamaican Rum (Flickenschild) SCJB 2024 taste?
Summarized by AI 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.

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. 8,1: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. 8,1:The finish is long with dried fruits, tropical fruits, pastries, maple, some spiciness, baking spices, toasted wood, very round, a bit dry. Edit:31.12.25, 0,3 downgrade

Alcoholic on the nose, esters, clearly Jamaica. Accordingly on the palate, some tropical fruits come through, but a slightly bitter off-note sneaks in. Alcohol is not well integrated. The whole mix is okay, but no more. You can get more and better from Jamaica for less money. Mediocre describes the whole quite accurately in the end.
Review by zabo
Unfortunately, this bottling from WuDramClan doesn't quite grab me. I approached the rum with the expectation of High Ester Funk. Unfortunately, it couldn't fulfill that. I find the biggest downside is the sharpness. Otherwise, there would definitely have been more potential.
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 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 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 DomM
The nose gives some citrus fruits and cookie notes. Wood and vanilla are dominating for me with a certain mustiness to it. Not bad, yet somewhat unbalanced for the lack of a better description. On the palate a wood and vanilla bourbon cask profile is dominating. Again some cookie dough on the side. The bottling started off rather harsh from the freshly opened bottle. After a few month, this did improve. Still not perfect but good enough anyway. All in all a interesting bottle to taste given its presumed reference to the bar staple. Overall it lacks a bit of excitement for me in its profile to get to a higher rating.
Review by Basti
Unfortunately this bottling can’t really convince me either. Overall it’s just too young and too tame for me. The nose is very restrained (gets a bit better over time) and not much happens on the palate either. Alcohol is also a bit too present for me.

#6817 20.05.2026 Picked up my wife from work and still have time for a few more samples while listeing to some Psy Trance on Spotify. Also a pretty decent bottling where the price tag can be argued a bit. A fruity rum with nice pastries, wood, spices and a light floral touch.
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.
Review by Mentalo
Unfortunately the blend does not convince me. Alcohol is not particularly well integrated. The Clarendon share seems significantly larger than the Hampden share. Relatively little of that comes through. Slight spice note, wood. The finish is still the best with a slightly fruity note
Review by Master P
Unfortunately overall rather disappointing. Alcoholic, bitter, metallic and spicy, dry. I find no typical spice and fruit aromas or funk here. All in all one sample is enough to see, not my thing.
Review by Boletus
I quite like it in itself and it really has nice sides, especially once you overcome the initial alcoholic sharpness in the mouth, but somehow it's also a bit too harsh and edgy to really convince me.
Review by Christian Rudt
On the nose mainly baked goods and of course tropical fruit. However, also clearly alcoholic. Basically like I remember the unclarified Smith & Cross blend. On the palate, I find the rum rather flat. A good portion of bitterness comes after a few minutes. The finish is also not particularly memorable.
Review by Alexander Rasch
An interesting nose, as it is a mix of baking spices and a bouquet of flowers. On the palate, full-on wood and lots of alcohol. Here the rum loses me a bit because I actually find it exhausting. The finish is dry, wood-heavy, and long. You have to like it.
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 Schnubbii
Quite young and harsh, alcohol not well integrated. Sorry, I don't find this really successful.
Review by Buddudharma
Rather unspectacular blend. Well integrated alcohol, but the profile is not really coherent, there are better ones...
Review by F.L.O.
My first WDC disappointment. Smells like a very young Jamaican. Fruits and alcohol come through first in the nosing, then a bit of wood. On the palate, alcohol dominates and even after letting it sit longer it doesn't really get better. The Jamaican finally comes through in the finish. All in all good, but far below expectations. I have a bottle left if anyone wants it...
Review by Johannes
No off-notes, good rum, but if you're looking for Ester Funk here, you're wrong. This is a low ester Hampden in taste, most like Mark OWH.
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.
