Hampden regulars curious about a Madeira twist are the crowd here. Underneath the trademark ester and glue sit tropical fruit, overripe peach and red-fruit sweetness from the cask, with young wood poking through and a long, warm finish. At 62% the burn is real but stays drinkable. Opinions on the finish split — some find it a great fit, one taster reckons it doesn't quite cope with the Hampden.

Madeira finish does not cope with Hampden
Review by Timo Groeger
Was soll ich noch sagen, ein typischer Hampden. Auf jeden Fall ist reichlich Holz erkennbar, Ester natürlich auch sehr stark erkennbar, ansosten noch ein paar tropische Früchte. Im Glühwein jedenfalls sehr lecker :)
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Zrání v sudu po madeiře. S 7,7 z 10 jde o dobrý, i když ne výjimečný rum.
Review by Skyfly
Big Hampden 8 Marks Collection x CoR C<>H Cross Tasting: less exciting than the sherry cask. Wood and sweetness are not as pronounced. Additional peach on the palate, very velvety. Tropical fruits again somewhat overlaid.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Its high esters, but its madeira cask and its dark fruits that come through. Taste: Ester and high abv at front, but pleasant burn. The cask influence is really present. but giving more red fruits and maybe port flavours. Good level of fruit based sweetness. In the flavour richness scale we are in the slightly above middle ground here, its good but leaves you wanting just little bit more. Finish: Finish is medium. Quite dry and little woody. After a while the fruits flavour appear on the finish . Quote mild. For its price, its a good rum. Nosing and taste go hand to hand on this one, no surprises there during tasting.
Review by Johannes
The Madeira finish is clearly present, but also exciting and well integrated. Brings a nice complexity to the rum! I like it very much. For me the best in the series!
