Loved by Tim , cigares & 20 more

For curious explorers into high-ester funk, this 1‑year Hampden C<>H is a bright, punchy sipper: overripe tropical and red fruits, esters, caramel sweetness and roasted wood. Best neat or in bold highball-style mixes, strongly appreciated by RumX taster panels.

  • Intense ester funk
  • Tropical & red fruits
  • Surprisingly well balanced

Young but seriously funky Hampden For curious explorers into high-ester funk, this 1‑year Hampden C<>H is a bright, punchy sipper: overripe tropical and red fruits, esters, caramel sweetness and roasted wood. Best neat or in bold highball-style mixes, strongly appreciated by RumX taster panels.

8.5/10

Bestes Ergebnis aus der einjährigen Lagerung der Hampden 8 Mark-Reihe!Natürlich hoher Estergehalt (saure Früchte und rote Beeren, was charakteristisch für C<>H ist), aber es ist erstaunlich, was ein Jahr Lagerung ausmachen kann. Deutlich komplexer in seiner Zusammensetzung als seine Brüder. Wie immer Furfurale, Whisky-Lactone, nun aber auch mit größeren Anteilen weiterer Molekülsorten. Zum Beispiel Ellagsäure (Tannine, Bitterkeit), was eventuell die Assoziation mit Schokolade bewirkt.

8.4/10

A lovely, complex nose of candied fruit, red fruit, Ibiscus flower and vanilla. The attack on the palate is smooth, aromatic and complex, with well-integrated wood. The finish is long, elegant and a little bitter. A very fine rum, complex in aroma but lacking a little depth.

Jetzt der vorletzte der acht Marks Reihe. Ester wird hier immer deutlicher und auch Früchte zu erkennen, wie rote Früchte und Zitrusfrüchte. Alles in allem ein gelungener Rum dieser Reihe und bisher einer der besten

Hampden 8 Marks Collection 1 year, hier der vorletzte, der C Diamond H. Schon nah dran an der höchsten Esterstufe, deswegen natürlich Ester und auch noch Zitrusfrüchte in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls, kommt hier noch eine gewisse Fruchtigkeit hinzu.

8.1/10

Die Nase wieder etwas fruchtiger im Vergleich zu hgml. Komplexe tiefe. Ünerreife rote Früchte. Die beanspruchtem Sinne lassen nun aber mach. Der Geschmack nun aber äußerst estrig und komplex. Wahnsinn.

Great nose, some tropical notes and really good. Brings some flowery elements, caramel, and the mouth balances well. Solid but the finish is a bit one dimensional
