Hampden RA Jamaica Rum Extreme High Ester (German Rum Festival Special 2024) DOK
Most people agree on what this is: a full-on ester bomb at a wild 86.1% from Hampden. Glue, solvent and overripe tropical fruit — pineapple, mango — hit hard. Several tasters love the funk and find the alcohol oddly drinkable; others say the heat flattens the flavor and call it more "Schnaps" than rum. Either way, you sip this in tiny amounts.
- Huge ester funk
- Tropical fruit
- Great for mixing

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Extreme high-ester glue bomb, sip tiny A wild high-ester Hampden that people enjoy for the fruit-and-glue blast, though several say the extreme ABV burns and works better as a cocktail booster than neat.

Review by zabo
What can I say, it is and remains an ester board. Simply massive, with a huge load of Pattex in the nose. The whole thing explodes in the mouth. Despite the extremely high ABV, it is not alcoholic. Compared to Plantery High Ester, however, it falls a little short. But it's great for spiking cocktails of all kinds.
Review by Buddudharma
Danke an zabo für das Sample zur Desinfektion. Brontales Ester-Brett mit relativ gut eingebundenem Alkohol und der vollen Breitseite Frucht und Pattex. Macht Spaß.

Review by Johnny Rumcask
Eins vorweg: der hohe Alkoholgehalt killt geschmacklich sehr viel. Zurück bleiben Ester, Fruchtnoten, Karton, Klebstoff und Lösungsmittel. Aus meiner Sicht eher zum Mischen interessant. Pur zu alkoholisch. Interessant wäre hier eine länger gelagerte Abfüllung probieren zu können.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Full of taste but too strong. The alcohol hurts
Review by Leo Krüper
Erinnert an Schnaps. Ein schöner Willi. Absoluter Exot und wird so hoffentlich nicht abgefüllt.
