Nobilis Hampden No. 46 HD (13. German Rum Festival) <>H 2014
Sipped neat, this is textbook Hampden <>H: glue and solvent up front, then pineapple, mango, marzipan and overripe fruit, with roasted almond and a salty-olive edge. At 68.5% the heat is real — some find the alcohol well integrated, others say it bites. A few tasters also enjoyed it in a Mai Tai. Good but familiar if you already own 2014 <>H bottlings.
The community says- Big ester funk
- Pineapple and marzipan
- But: Hot alcohol

The look inside the bottle
How does Nobilis Hampden No. 46 HD (13. German Rum Festival) <>H 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 49 community reviews.
Classic Hampden funk, hot and familiar A very good, classic <>H that most enjoyed for its ester-and-pineapple funk. The catch: the alcohol runs hot for some, and it treads ground other 2014 bottlings already cover.

Review by Julien Ries
La robe est assez claire, dorée et laisse forcément pas mal de larmes sur le verre. Le nez est tout de suite sur le solvant, la colle Patex comme souvent chez les High Ester. Suit derrière le traditionnel cortège fruité, ananas/mangue oubliés trop longtemps dans le panier à fruits. Il y a du bonbon arlequin mais aussi des épices sèches et musquées (pain d'épices avec son miel). Pour une fois pas trop de banane trop mûre. Les arômes sont plus acidulés. Il y a aussi des fruits à coques (noix de pécan). J'ai connu des rhums qui agressaient beaucoup plus les cellules olfactives avec un taux d'alcool, ce qui témoigne déjà d'une bonne intégration. J'ai aussi connu des Hampdens qui embaumaient beaucoup plus la pièce avec la puissance des esters. Ici c'est plus contenu tout en étant racé. En deuxième nez, il y a du fruit dans l'alcool, un côté Mon Chéri ou la mirabelle de Papy. En première bouche, l'alcool se réveille et ça déchire. Mes plombages s'accrochent à l'émail des dents de toute leur force. C'est très lourd, gras mais fruité malgré le vieillissement. Le jus de canne est encore bien présent, plus présent que tous les Hampdens que j'ai pu goûter, même plus jeune. La noix de pécan, de cajou aussi est extrêmement présente, sous un fond de datte et de fruits de la passion en deuxième palais. C'est très harmonieux et délicat sous le torrent de chaleur de l'éthanol. Chaque gorgée me fait découvrir un nouveau caractère en rétro-olfaction. C'est très riche, très complexe et il serait compliqué d'énumérer tous les marqueurs qu'on ressent. Ce n'est clairement pas un rhum pour quelqu'un qui débute dans le rhum.
Review by Christian Rudt
Der nächste bitte. Die Nobilis Abfüllung vom German Rumfestival die mich vor Ort erstmal nicht zum Kauf überreden konnte. Hier also zweiter Anlauf. Hier hab ich gleich etwas Banane an der Nase dazu im Vergleich zum bottleshop etwas mehr Holz, der Rum wirkt dadurch erstmal etwas zurückhaltender. Am Gaumen ne Ecke weniger trocken als der bottleshop zuvor. Ordentlich Marzipan, Ananas. Schwer hier einen Sieger zu finden. Alkohol etwas kräftiger beim nobilis. Da hat dann am Ende doch der bottleshop die Nase vorn.
Review by Schnubbi
Verkostet gegen den älteren Nobilis No. 14 / RX12016. Beide sind sich in der Nase und auch vom Geschmack her recht ähnlich. No. 14 hat allerdings spürbar mehr Komplexität und Cremigkeit zu bieten. Das ändert dennoch nichts daran, dass auch diese neue Abfüllung für das GRF ein sehr guter Vertreter der mittellang gereiften Hampden <>H Abfüllungen ist, auf die ich so sehr stehe. Bekommt zum Ausgabepreis von 135€ meine Empfehlung. Prädikat "Nicht so gut wie der Vorgänger, leider trotzdem gut."
Review by RumTaTa
Typical Hampden nose with pineapple, glue and so on. Unfortunately also a little alcoholic. Also very good on the palate, as expected. The finish is also typical Hampden and without surprise. These inflationary high ester Hampden bottlings are quite lulling and are very similar. The intensity increases dramatically in the high-ester range in particular, but the range often decreases too. I would like to see a little more experimentation, like the Ricci family with their blends.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Too young and not significant fruity tadte for H ... Hampden is a distillery producing incredible smelling rums. That's why part of its production is used as a base material for perfumes. I recommend to taste the smooth and yet tastefully incredibly rich rums older than 20 years, or very young rums with a high ester content called DOK. Don't be afraid of high alcohol content ;)
Review by mto75
Today 2x 2014 <>H in the glass: the GRF Nobilis 68.5%, 10-year-old (3 tropical), the FRC 67.3%, 9-year-old (5 tropical). The differences on the nose are really small. Both with fermented fruit, cake / baking mix, cream. The FRC is perhaps a little rounder. But that could also be due to the slightly lower ABV. On the palate, both with citrus marmalade, spiciness, toasted barrel, brine. I like the FRC a little better here too, somehow rounder.
Review by Fuwi
Eine Flasche, die Kevin vom GRF 2024 aus Berlin mitgebracht hat und mit mir zusammen geöffnet hat - Danke dafür! Schöner <>Hampden, der nicht zuuuu gefällig daher kommt, sondern auch mal Ecken und Kanten hat. Der Alkohol ist nicht ganz optimal eingebunden, dadurch erhält er meiner Meinung nach aber eher mehr Charakter als gefälligere Abfüllungen. Dazu die erwartbaren Esternoten, leichte Röstaromen, überreife Früchte und Anklänge von Marzipan.
Review by DosenZorn
Rather alcoholically sharp on the palate. After the RdL HGML, this one unfortunately goes down quite a bit. Nevertheless, solid cask strength <>H with slight weaknesses. Edit: my rating remains as it was originally, but I would like to add that my perception at the time of tasting may have been clouded by the previously tasted 86% Monster HGML from RdL, as it otherwise received consistently positive feedback.
Review by Basti
Initially, there are significantly more aromas from the cask on the nose than in the representatives in the cross-comparison. Over time, the fruity notes become more present, but without coming to the fore. The palate is similar to the nose, with lots of barrel aromas, some fruit and spices. Stands out somewhat from the other young representatives of the <>H Marks. Alcohol very well integrated.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Tried on the 13th GRF. Very good <>H with the classic profile. As I currently have the 2014 from WDC in my glass very often, the similarities were obvious. Tasted very good to me. P/L definitely good too, but if you already have a few from this vintage like me, you won't discover anything new. But that doesn't make the rum any worse. Therefore a very good bottling. I like it.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Delicious new Diamond from nobilis. Intense pastry notes, almost reminiscent of Christmas cookies. Also roasted almonds, marzipan, overripe fruit such as gooseberry and pineapple and a slight acidity. Slightly salty, fruity and thick. Alcohol very well integrated!
Review by SaibotZtar
I generally like this bottling very much ... It's not a revelation or anything new but it's solid. Nice fruit esters marzipan pineapple banana and some roasted almond . All in all completely ok . In Mai Tai even better than neat for me.
Review by zabo
And here's another Ester Hampden from the 2024 Rum Festival in Berlin. Unfortunately, this one didn't really convince me either. Unfortunately not an outlier from the diverse range of <>H from the 2013/2014 series, rather a bottling that can't quite keep up with the others.
Review by Galli33
I first tried at the GRF and i really enjoyed it, so I took one bottle home 😬😎 When I got home, I tried it again at my leisure and gave it more time to open up. The result is a top rum in which the 68% and the barrel is very well integrated. 👍🏻👌🏻
Review by Mentalo
Sicherlich nicht die Beste Abfüllung des Jahrgangs, aber das ist halt trotzdem noch einwandfrei Hampden Qualität. Schöne Esternoten, Marzipan und tropische Früchte (Ananas). Kommt aber zum Bespiel nicht an die tolle 2014er Abfüllung von Ricci ran.
Review by Jakob
GRF 2024 fair tasting. Good Hampden from 2014, slightly drier on the finish, with plenty of classic Jamaican notes. Solid selection, fits in seamlessly with the 2014 releases already available without standing out.
Review by Stijn Zino
Very nice Hampden nose, I like the strong glue in this one. Alcohol could be better integrated. Over the whole line good typical Hampden but a bit one dimensional. Finish a bit short for me. Ok rum for its price.
Review by Serge
Trade fair tasting. Good Hampden for the money in my opinion. You can take it with you without hesitation for the price I think. Everything in it that a Hampden needs ... one for every day I think. price is also totally fine
Review by Norbert Sas
Very tasty high ester rum with stingent alcool, floral, and fruity taste. The aftertaste is long and dominated by the fruity falvors of the esters.
Review by rumquest
Very smooth, lot of ester and those fruity notes!
