Secret Cask Hampden Jamaican Rum (Der Gereifte) <>H 2001
The surprise here is how gentle this 17-year Hampden drinks for 61.3% — the alcohol sits so well integrated that one taster swore it "feels 50%". Expect pineapple and tropical fruit, that classic glue-and-solvent ester funk, vanilla and a long fruity finish. The recurring catch: several find a bitter edge in the tail, and a few suspect it leaned continental in the aging.
- Great ABV integration
- Fruity ester funk
- Long warm finish

How does Secret Cask Hampden Jamaican Rum (Der Gereifte) <>H 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Balanced, fruity 17yo Hampden funk A genuinely loved older Hampden — fruity, balanced and warming with great ABV integration. Most rate it high; the one repeated knock is a bitterness in the finish that keeps it short of perfect for some.

Review by Anders Bovien
One of the Best integrated hampden the balance is so Nice and feels 50_% So fruity palate and sits in the thought a looong time
Review by PRV
Очень классный выдержанный фанк в основе. Машинное масло, немного грязного бензина, оливковый рассол, кислая лимонная шипучка, пряный тропический уксус и терпкий зеленый чай. Ух, как же мощно во вкусе. Сладкие тропики, кисло-сладкий фанк, соленые оливки, пряная терпкость. Продолжительное послевкусие. Оливковое масло и терпкая мякоть оливок. В прохладный дождливый день это просто бальзам на душу!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Excellent part. A little too bitter for a top rating, but still...🤤
Review by Basti
Im Glas entfalten sich Aromen von trop. Früchten, Ester, Vanille, etwas Klebstoff und Lösungsmittel, Zitrusfrüchte, leicht florale und vergorene Aromen. Am Gaumen tropische Früchte, Gewürze, etwas Lakritz, dezent florale Noten und eine leichte Bitterkeit. Guter Hampden!
Review by Mopar Rules
really like this Hampden. The bottle is always empty. Very fruity with a hint of esters or polish, alcohol is well integrated; a well balanced rum on the fruity side.

#4295 11.10.2023 Wow, this is a very nice rum and the price tag is pretty good at release. Fresh, fruity with esters and glue and well balanced and great ABV integration. The palate is intense and warming with nice fruit. The finish is long and warm with a nice citrus note. Draws nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has marzipan and light dried fruit.
Review by zabo
Schöner ◇H aus 2001. Ich würde hier aber behaupten, dass dieser fast, wenn nicht komplett kontinental gelagert war. Geschmacklich trotzdem sehr lecker. Also vorhanden was ein ◇H haben muss. Sehr gut, aber für mich kein absoluter Überflieger.
Review by Schnubbi
Klassisches <>H Profil, aber sehr "smooth" und weich, ohne Ecken und Kanten. Ohne Frage ein toller Hampden, für meinen Geschmack aber fast schon ein wenig zu gefällig.
Review by Oliver
Great Hampden. Personally, a tad too bitter for a top rating.
