Romdeluxe Hampden Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 57 (13. Berlin Rumfest) HGML
Pineapple, glue and nail polish charge out of the glass, backed by banana and marzipan from the young virgin oak. At 84.5% this is a Hampden ester bomb, yet tasters keep marveling how drinkable it is for the strength. A few drops of water pull out peach and papaya. Short finish shows the two years, but the alcohol is remarkably well integrated.
The community says- High-ester funk
- Integrated alcohol
- But: Extreme 84.5% ABV

Review by Christian Rudt
Das neueste 80 % + Monster von Romdeluxe, diesmal mit kurzer Lagerung im Virgin oak. Der Fasseinfluss ist dann auch durchgehend spürbar, bedeckt doch einiges an Aromen in der Nase wo mir hier vor allem dieser künstliche Nagellack auffällt der sich zu den Hampden typischen Aromen gesellt. Der Alkohol ist natürlich spürbar aber der Fasseinfluss ist derart stark das man sich schon selbst an die 80+ erinnern muss. Leider dominiert dieser auch am Gaumen und nimmt einiges an der Geschmacklichen Intensität die für dieses Mark typisch ist.
Review by Thunderbird
GRF13: The second high-proof short-stored HGML version of RdL for the GRF... and I'm thrilled again. It's not quite as strong as the first time, but it's certainly convincing. It's always amazing how you can make such high-proof alcohol so drinkable. I have to confess that I'm a confirmed HGML fan, so my euphoria may be taken into account here 😇
Review by zabo
Thanks to Kim from Romdeluxe, we were able to compare it directly with its predecessor, as he provided us with the rest of a sample. Not bad in my opinion, but I thought the predecessor was better. The price put me off buying one, it just wasn't worth it to me.
Review by Galli33
It's incredible how accessible this rum is, even though it's 85%. Nonetheless, it is and remains a mega ester bomb and despite being as powerful as a lion. A few drops of water help to make it smoother, and other fruity notes such as peach and papaya also unfold. Really delicious!
Review by Leo Krüper
Tolles Teil wieder mal. Wild Series durch und durch. Aber der Alkohol ist unfassbar gut integriert. Vom eigentlichen Rum bekommt man wenig mit, aber bei der kurzen Lagerung auch nicht verwunderlich. Ist das die 200€ wert? Ich denke nicht, aber trotzdem eine super Erfahrung.
Review by Master P
Nachverkostung GRF, unglaublich, wie zugänglich dieser Rum ist, obwohl er 85% hat. Nichtsdestotrotz ist und bleibt er eine Mega-Ester-Bombe und das obwohl er so stark wie ein Löwe ist. auch fruchtige Noten wie Pfirsich und Papaya entfalten sich. Wirklich lecker!
Review by JFehr
GRF13 Alcohol super integrated. High ester and fruity
Review by Michael Schillheim
Tasted again at leisure after the GRF. Pineapple, almond, esters and light smoke. Creamy and intense. Despite a slight burn in the aftertaste, the alcohol is well integrated at a strong 84.5%. Nice to have tried it, but I don't need a whole bottle.
Review by Serge
GRF fair tasting. Tasted it relatively early in the day: Yes, alcohol is really top integrated and flavor-wise it absolutely delivers. Pineapple, almond, ester, solvent and more tropical fruit. But I didn't take a bottle with me after all.
Review by Jarek
Eine sehr schöne Nase, Marzipan trifft auf Ananas und Klebstoff. Am Gaumen unerwartet süß, wieder leckerer Marzipan, wieder Ananas, leicht rauchig und warm. Alkohol natürlich spürbar, aber für über 80% unerwartet zahm. Sehr lecker und interessant.
Review by DosenZorn
High ester, high power. Still easy to drink. You notice the virgin oak barrel and the young age. Still a great rum. The price tag corresponds to what you know from RdL. All in all, a really cool piece with insane intensity.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A great piece! 84.5% and only 2 years in virgin oak... Why does it drink so well? Very, very tasty. Almond cookies, pineapple, esters and lots of punch and great wood aromas. Super balanced for such a beast!
Review by Adrian Wahl
Schon wieder ein krasser Release. In meinen Augen aber deutlich hinter dem ersten HGML. Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden wie beim ersten, schmecke auf weniger vom HGML. Für mich den Preis nicht wert.
Review by Basti
Fair rating 13th GRF. Intense rum, but I don't need a bottle of it.
