"Unbalanced, but interesting" is how one member sums it up, and that fits. Overripe banana, mango and pineapple crash into chemical varnish, brine and olive on the nose, with a port-cask edge from the Madeira-like maturation. At 61.9% it runs hot — one taster found the palate sharply sour, others say the alcohol sits well. Long, drying finish either way.

How does CoR Hampden High Ester Rum Fino (catawiki) C<>H 2023 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Loud, hot Hampden ester with a port edge Reviews genuinely split: some love the loud ester-and-port character, one found the palate too sour and hot to enjoy. A wild, polarizing Hampden.

The nose is already very expressive. There are lots of esters with a parade of overripe exotic fruits (rotten banana, pineapple surrounded by gnats, oozing mango). We also have a lot of this very chemical varnish that grabs our nostrils and makes us recoil. Lots of olives in brine, less smoke than the Oloroso. Some nutty notes arrive fleetingly, with a touch of vanilla. The wood is there too, but in a discreet youthfulness. The whole is quite dark and complex, with accents of very old Port. The entry on the palate makes you grimace. It’s sour as hell, like drinking a gulp of sherry vinegar, very acidic and strong in alcohol. Yerk! Really not great on the palate. Lots of esters develop on the tongue and palate. The alcohol is very hot and sharp, poorly integrated. You gather your courage hoping the next sips will go down better. Still this very present nut, and the second sip is fruitier: black berries, tropical fruits. Lots of acidity too. The finish is endless and powerful. It’s very drying. This cooked wine persists and only then comes this wood smoke that invades the whole throat. I must admit I kept changing my rating on this tasting. I really didn’t enjoy it much, but some aspects are not totally unpleasant. But it’s not a bottle I would buy.

Big Hampden 8 Marks Collection x CoR C<>H Cross Tasting: strong similarity to the Madeira cask, but again stronger wood influence
Review by Leo Krüper
Unbalanced, but at least interesting
Review by Timo Groeger
And the next awesome Hampden, only 2 left :) But also nicely high ester, (overripe) tropical fruits are clearly recognizable. Port wine is also noticeable, but fortunately only subtly :-). Great in mulled wine.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2023. I rate it 7.5 out of 10, a solid rum that doesn't disappoint.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Last review from this series. On the nose: Port, Esters and touch of sweetness up front .Some berries and young wood. Feels quite heavy and full bodied on the nose Taste: Cask influence is really present. Esters. Raisins and bit of nutty notes towards the end. Quite heavy and full bodied, but the alcohol is integrated quite well in this. Finish: Long finish. Raisins and sweetnees upfront but quite dry in the end. Another good, full bodied rum with a heavy cask influence. Havent tasted the rums from this series side by side, but if my memory is correct, there is not a wholelot of differences between then.
Review by Johannes
Finish is very well integrated, not dominant at all, dry on the finish.
