Valinch & Mallet Hampden Trelawny - Jamaica <>H 2014

Overripe banana, pineapple and a shot of glue meet roasted oak and a dry, slightly astringent finish. This is Hampden <>H through and through — one taster called the palate a fruit basket "with glue sauce." A few find the cask makes it a touch dry and thin at full proof; most love the fruit and how well the 55.7% sits. Let it breathe 15 minutes.

The community says
  • Overripe fruit and ester
  • Great alcohol integration
  • Keep in mind: Dry, astringent finish

The look inside the bottle

How does Valinch & Mallet Hampden Trelawny - Jamaica <>H 2014 taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Fruity, ester-driven Hampden with dry oak finish Well-liked classic Hampden: fruity, ester-heavy, well-integrated alcohol. A couple of tasters find it drier and leaner than the fruitier <>H bottlings, but the funk and balance win people over.

22.03.2025 Retasting at Whisky Watcher tasting. ---------------------- #5104 08.02.2025 relaxing with a few samples at home. Nose Fruity, light wood, ester, overripe, light floral, glue, faint caramel, faint cherry. Palate Round, balanced, oily, fresh, light wood, faint roasted, ester, fruity, overripe, light floral, naturally sweet, faint caramel. Finish Long, oily, light wood, fruit, light citrus, ester, warm. Rest it for at least 15 minutes so it can really open up and release all its flavours.

8,4:On the nose, esters and glue, nail polish, fermented overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, citrus fruits, some briny olive and roasted wood notes like caramel, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is herbaceous and flowery, red fruits and apricots join the play, the wood is spicy, nutty, brings confectionery. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fruity, a bit astringent with overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple and citrus, red fruits, some raisins, apples, medicinal with strong esters, oily and round, as the wood is roasted, slightly smoky and spicy with a hint of white chocolate, crunchy bread, caramelized biscuits, vanilla, pairing briny olive, flowery molasses. 8,2:The finish is long, dry, with strong oak, so quite furry, still medicinal with esters, as the molasses is grassy, fruits green with apple and tropical with guava, the wood roasted,smoky and spicy Edit:1.8.26.

Sehr geiler vielschichtiger Hampden. In der Nase sehr fruchtig, fast überreif, etwas vergoren und leichte Vanille. Im Gaumen wieder überreif, dafür jetzt mit Holz- und Röstaromen. Dezente Noten von Vanille und Ester. Im Abgang wieder sehr rund. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden!

Hampden typisch Fruchtig und Esterreiche Nase ... Ananas , Banane , reifer Pfirsich und grüner Apfel gesellen sich zu einer Portion Uhu . Alkohol perfekt eingebunden jedenfalls in der Nase. Am Gaumen Leicht ölig.... Früchtekorb mit Klebstoffsoße 🤣🤣 reife Ananas 'Papaya Pfirsich 😲 gut ausgewogen. Alkohol präsent aber nicht störend oder gar beißend. Schöner langer Abgang ohne zu bitter zu werden was ich oft bei HD nicht so geil finde. Guter Stoff

Very good Hampden! At a high level, it feels a bit thin and slightly unbalanced.

Side-by-side of ten recent-ish 2014 <>H bottlings: On the nose the bottlings are pretty much on a comparable level. RumClub and Family Ricci take the crown today, showing a bit more fruitiness relatively speaking. Overall the bottlings with some reduction provide noticably less intensity. I prefer the higher/full proof bottlings here. Again, on the palate the factor to set the different bottlings apart comes down to fruitiness and alcohol integration. Among the lower ABV bottlings the V&M Star(h)um takes the crown with TWJ coming in second. The difference in ABV is even more pronounced on the palate with the full proof version clearly ahead. Overall winner here is the RumClub, followed by Family RIcci again. Most balanced with lots of funk yet also a good amount of cask impact and good alcohol integration. All in all non of the bottlings is bad in any way. There are only minute differences in the bottlings and the winner might change on another day. I‘m very curious to see how the vintage will develop over time - assuming we‘ll see some more bottlings in the coming years.

Great Hampen. Lots of fruit, slightly astringent, vanilla, bananas...really great and I have to admit that I wasn't sure at first whether it would go my way. Should definitely be drunk standalone or with other fruit bombs, otherwise it can easily go under. Still fun even after 30 minutes in the glass. Great!!!

Surprisingly subtle esters on the nose, I like it. Vanilla and yellow fruit. On the palate, a short ester punch with pleasant sweetness. The finish is nice with woody, slightly dry notes. A nice one.

Great aroma of overripe banana, pineapple, esters, etc. Explosion of esters in the mouth and again overripe fruit, finishing with a transition to molasses and maybe gingerbread spices. Strong just right, tart just right. For me, very well done.

⚡ Hampden <>H 2014 – 55.7% 9 years aging, barrel 434854, 279 bottles. 👉 From the nose, no doubt: pure Hampden juice. Olive, wood, citrus… but very little tropical fruit. 👉 Complex, explosive palate, alcohol perfectly integrated, but very dry, dominated by solvent and oak. 👉 Decent length, still with this marked dryness. A very solvent-typical Hampden, clearly lacking indulgence. Far from the Hampden H 2014 crush at Ricci.
