The Whisky Jury Hampden The Many Faces Of Rum (Exclusive for Care For Craft Spirits) 2013
Pineapple, banana and that classic Hampden glue lead the way, with a fresh tropical sweetness up front before the funk and light oak settle in. At 60,3% the alcohol is remarkably well tucked away — several tasters call it easy to drink for the strength. A few note it's rounded and typical rather than surprising, but the fruit-and-ester core is exactly what Hampden fans come for.
The community says- Tropical fruit and esters
- Alcohol well integrated
- But: Not overly complex

Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is a classical gluey high esters Hampden with tropical fruits like pineapple, banana and citrus, the wood is spicy and roasted with sweet marzipan, as the molasses is vegetal with an olive. On aeration, it becomes more balanced with tempting pastry, cookie dough, perhaps yeast and caramel. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is typical with high esters, glue, as tropical fruits like mentioned before are fermented, overripe, sometimes rotten.The molasses is vegetal with the olive.The wood is roasted, spicy with sweet marzipan, honey, caramel and anise.Some salt crawls in...Resting turns fruits into dried ones with marmelade from apricots, prunes, maracuja, citrus.Some coconut is evident. What disbalances our delicious tasting is an intrusion of a bit sour and soapy notes. 8,4:The finish is long, but a little less pleasant than before, as the wood becomes quite tannic. Otherwise, smoky/earthy notes balance the act a bit. Edit:13.6.25

Notes and evaluation will be completed when all samples have been sent. Edit: In my opinion its a very good bottling, but I still miss that certain kick that would elevate it to the highest circles.
Review by Basti
The fruity notes are somewhat fresher here and there is less fermented fruit. Lots of fruit on the palate here too, but not quite as intense and ripe as the House of Cane. Overall, quite round and easy to drink for a <>H. I like it very much.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5575 21.08.2025 Relaxing in front of the TV watching the Joghurt Shop Murders. Nose Fresh, medium intense, light wood, light roasted, faint rubber, citrus, light anise, banana, light glue. Palate Oily, fresh, medium intense, light spicy, fruits, light glue, faint varnish, light anise, faint salt, mint. Finish Long and warm, oily, fresh, naturally sweet, light salt, banana, faint caramel. Empty glass Licorice, light olive, citrus, light glue. The longer it rests the better it gets and the more notes appear.
Review by Dr.Django
Ein weiterer sehr lwckerer typischer Hampden mit besonders vielen frischem fruchtigen Obst und Früchten. Ausgesprochen salzig ist er auch noch. Schmeckt, kann sich von seinen Kollegen aber auch nicht wirklich abheben. Würde hier lieber den Bottleshop 2014 bevorzugen.
Review by Banana Joe
What can you say here, <>H as I know it. No outliers upwards or downwards. I like this Mark, I like this bottling. Alcohol very well integrated, easy to drink despite 60%. Fun to drink.
Review by DomM
Looking at a little 2013 <>H side-by-side today. On the nose the House of Cane bottling takes the crown with TCoR and Swells Constantia taking second place. The Nectar is the only real outlier, not able to compete with the pack. Roots comes with a bit more overripe notes, while TWJ is a bit stronger on solvent notes. Both are very nice as well. On the palate the crown goes to The House of Cane, again. Very high intensity with Hampden funk and fruits nicely balanced by some sweetness and cookie notes. CoR and TWJ both show an intense <>H profile as well, excellent. The SdS Constantia presents the most balanced profile. Very nice to drink indeed. Roots looses on the palate, unfortunately. There is a distinct note of lightly peated Whisky in the bottling. That’s not bad, but doesn’t benefit the rum imo. The Nectar, again, cannot fully win my heart. The cask presumably had less influence, leaving the bottling in a more alcoholic and less balanced state.
Review by Schnubbii
Solid <>H, which is fun and for me is in the upper midfield. I bought a bottle and don't regret the purchase, I just like <>H. Thanks to Jörg for the split!
Review by FischeJ
Bottle Kill Rating. I like it quite a bit. Nice fruity nose. Not as fermented as other bottlings. Almost subtle for a <>H. I also have a very subtle malt note. The very well-integrated alcohol is noticeable in the mouth. Then there's the almost familiar interplay of fruity and slightly woody notes. Nice and round, you could even say too round 🙃
Review by Lot-NAS
Great Hampden, without surprises it steps up between the top bottlings of 2013 / 2014 (at least for me it does). Note, palate and finish are balanced very well and it provides everything one would expect with a superb Integration of the alcohol. It is not overly complex but a dangerously companion in your glass.
Review by Julien Ries
After a very fresh nose of exotic fruit and sweet juices, the palate surprises with a more animal side. Smoked meat and gamey aromas leave their mark on the palate. Really surprising, and the whole seemed too unbalanced on the first tasting, but less so on the next.
Review by Stijn Zino
I needed a bottle because I really like RX1732 COR Hampden 2013 <>H. I still need to compare them side by side. But would give it to COR because of the extra punch. Still a very good rum from TWJ. Typical tropical fruits you get from Hampden. Some Marzipan but not as much as their NY botteling. Very easy to sniff no alcohol in the nose. Some alcohol in the mouth but very well integrated. Esters, fruit and glue. Medium finish. Will update after a second, third, fourth, ... taste. Edit: a bit higher rating because of the lovely nose!
Review by Martin Spooner
Am der Nase schon fruchtige Noten. Ananas mit Banane mit einer schönen Intensität. Am Gaumen Jamaika pur. Überstreife Früchte, ester .. alles was man erwartet. Wunderbarer Hampden in der richtigen Dosis.
Review by Johannes
Wow, ziemlich perfekt!
Review by PRV
Сладкий фреш из тропических фруктов. Ананас, кокосовый ликер, сдержанный фанк. Тропическая сладость доминирует. Со временем фанк наступает, появляется лак, резиновый клей, но вперемешку с тропическим коктейлем. Во вкусе классический HD, кисло-сладкий, обильно фанковый и тропический. Тело очень маслянистое. Послевкусие продолжительное. Тропический пряный ликер, терпкий и сладкий.
Review by EspritRhum
