After several daiquiri variations with DomM, I finally tried it neat. Nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Solid and does what it should. A comparison with the Hampden RumFire is still pending, but I think the two are pretty similar, except for the price. Since it also had to compete against the Killik KLK in the Daiquiri, it unfortunately loses out to my favorite in the unaged category.

#5606 Enjoyed at the Colours of Rum tasting at the German Rum Fest 2025. Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money. It can be enjoyed neat or in a mixer. I like the fruity and ester notes that make it nicely together. A smooth sipper in my mind.
Review by DomM
Intense and powerful, delivering on what you would expect from an unaged HLCF. On the nose lots of funk and power. Tropical fruits and solvent notes. Lots of fruits on the palate. Creamy texture. Some salt and olive notes. Nice as expected. From memory a bit more exiting than Hampden Fire despite being the same thing afaik.

Wahrlich kein außergewöhnlicher Hampden, aber gute Qualität.
Review by Skyfly
Messebewertung: mehr Ester als tropische Früchte in der Nase im Gaumen ausgewogen.
Review by Christian Rudt
Liefert was versprochen. Hampden pur mit einigen vergorenen Noten. ein ölig-salziges Gemisch am Gaumen in das Früchte eingelegt wurden. Eine gute Portion Olive ist spürbar. Dieser Pure lässt sich auch pur gut trinken. Zum Glück, denn rein für den Cocktail daheim stellt sich die Frage nach dem Mehrwert gegenüber Rumfire & Co.

Powerful unaged stuff from Hampden. Funky esters and solvents on the nose. Same story on the palate but also accompagnied by fruits. Can be enjoyed neat, as well as used as a mixer. Price to quality is great with this one.
Review by Stijn Zino
Wow very nice value for money rum! I like the Warehouse unaged DOK a bit more. But this is also great. Fruit and funky. Pure or as sipper.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Pěkný bílý Hampden, tohle se CoR povedlo. Osobně mám raději vyšší esterové marky, ale tohle rozhodně neuráží.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Given it's a white rum it's very pleasant.
Review by Michal S
Na mě moc velká divočina na samostatné popíjení. Hampdenské kořeny jsou znát, hodně esterů, hodně rozpouštědel.
