Overripe pineapple, banana and a streak of solvent hit first, backed by ester, young wood and a biscuit-dough note several tasters call cookies. At 67.6% it's wild and hot — "wild und ungestüm," one member says — but a drop of water rounds it right off. Full C<>H Hampden DNA, just youthful and a touch sharp-edged.
The community says- Ester and pineapple
- Full Hampden funk
- Keep in mind: Youthful sharpness

The look inside the bottle
How does Nobilis Hampden No. 49 C<>H 2018 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Hot, funky young pineapple ester bomb Most love it: a proper ester bomb of pineapple, funk and cookie dough. The catch is its youth — hot and a bit unpolished, and some prefer older, tamer Hampdens.

#5559 15.08.2025 Relaxing with a set of samples while listening to some tracks by Oforia on Spotify. Nose Fresh, intense, light wood, faint smoke, light polish, fruity, overripe, citrus, ester. Palate Medium intense, light wood, faint roasted, fruity, overripe, pineapple, ester, medium dry, light spicy, light papaya. Finish Long and warm, light wood, fruity, panana, ester, medium dry, light spicy. Empty glass Pineapple, light apricot, light floral, spice, light sour.

17-07-2025 - Rate 8.4 12-12-2025 - Rate 8.1 Nobilis’ Hampden 10 years from Berlin Rum Festival 2024 is a bit better than this one. But both are good rums. Nose young wood, tropical fruit, ester and polish. Palate of young wood, tropical fruits and ester. Long finish dominated by ester and wood. 14-02-2026 - Rate 7.9
Review by DutchRumPirate
Oh wow, what a fruit bomb! The sweet fruit comes through beautifully on the nose and palate. Especially pineapple. Deliciously funky, a bit dry, and with a slight sharpness on the palate. The spicy esters linger well. This is a powerhouse.
Review by Dr.Django
As far as I know, there aren't many 2018 vintages yet. This one clearly shows its young age in a negative way. Even unaged Hampden rums are less sharp-edged and alcoholic. All in all, though, still a very good rum that carries the Hampden DNA.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, esters, glue, polish, funky, intense, perhaps solvents, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, vegetal molasses with briny olive, herbaceous, toasted wood notes like cookie dough, biscuits, spicy with anise, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, molasses is earthy, fresh, grassy with hay, dirty touch of this rum comes out, sour citrus fruits, fermented notes with dairy, wood brings caramelized notes, chocolate, pastry, gingerbread, spicy with allspice, nutmeg, meaty. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is intense with medicinal notes like esters, varnish, funky, fruity with overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, yellow and citrus fruits, sour, the wood is toasted with cookie dough, pastry, caramelized, sweet, spicy with allspice, smoky, oily, molasses is vegetal with briny olive, herbaceous. 8,3:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, slightly disbalanced, medicinal, metallic, chemical, plastic, fruity with tropical, citrus fruits, molasses is vegetal, floral, the wood is toasted with pastry, sour dough, spicy with allspice, smoky.
Review by Eric Frechin
The nose is rather complex and offers a beautiful evolution. It starts with esters and solvents. Then tropical fruit, followed by light oak and cookie. The palate is also dominated by esters, with tropical fruit tending towards pineapple, a little wood and a little sulfur. Some bitterness too. A powerful rum that can be tamed.
Review by Thunderbird
A classic fresh Hampden C<>H. It comes across wild and unruly, and the alcohol initially burns quite a bit on the palate. I prefer the somewhat older and tamed Hampden... but all in all, a solid bottling.
Review by Skyfly
What a cracker! A real ester bomb with a strong tropical fruit basket, especially pineapple. The same profile prevails from nose to finish. In addition to esters and tropical fruits, lots of cookie dough/pastry and some young wood. Simply awesome!
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh man, another really awesome, really cool Hampden. In any case, overripe tropical fruits again, especially pineapple and banana, also very funky and slightly alcoholic (no surprise there :-)) Still a great Hampden.
Review by zabo
After the set of Jamaica The Legacy Brands from TheDunderHut, a little more ester was needed in the glass. The new Nobilis bottling can already do a lot, the concentrated C<>H power with all the typical markers. Funky mouthfeel with nice rough edges and well-integrated alcohol.
Review by Jens Mulzer
Sehr fruchtiger Hampden. Intensiver Nase nach tropischen Früchten, Lack und Ester. Auch eine gewisse alkoholische Schärfe schwingt mit. Der Geschmack ist ebenfalls intensiv nach tropischen Früchten wie Ananas und Banane. Sehr lecker und ausgewogen, wie ich finde. Der Abgang ist mittellang.
Review by DomM
Very nice high ester Hampden bottling. Despite the relatively young age, the edges are have been rounded of reasonably. Has this one seen some tropical aging maybe? 🤔 Anyhow… it does what it says on the tin: very funky with roasted pineapple, solvent and cookies. I quite like this one.
Review by Schnubbii
Brief first impression: Yes, it's pretty tasty. <>But I still like H better. It's good to take with you, but for me personally it's not a must-have if you already have some High-Ester Hampden.
Review by Beaureve
Nase: sehr fruchtig - vor allem überreife Ananas. Zudem deutliche Ester. Geschmack: wie die Nase. Wieder viel Frucht (Ananas) und Ester. Kräftig. Man merkt ihm den Alkohol an - etwas "scharf" auf der Zunge. Ich nehme in der Nase und im Geschmack eine leichte Süße wahr. Kommt hierher die Keksteig-Assoziation? Zudem schmeckt er leicht bitter (ist aber nicht wirklich negativ - eher im Gegenteil). Ich vermute mal, dass hierher die Auswahlmöglichkeit "junges Holz" kommt. Fazit: Echt lecker! Da könnte man eine Flasche von kaufen.
Review by Johannes
My favorite brand! Really good Hampden that is already very balanced despite its young age!
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Fun Hampden with the typical profile of tropical fruits (especially pineapple), esters and a hint of varnish. The alcohol content cannot be denied, but is still appropriate. To be fair, it's not an over-Hampden either. It would be even more fun if it were more affordable.
Review by Carlitooo
Amazingly good for its young age. A very successful bottling
Review by FischeJ
Quite stormy. Probably due to the age. Otherwise, you can say typical Hampden. High level but a bit rough. Still a nice bottling. Butter biscuit and esters dominate.
Review by Jacques etdom
A c<>h with classic markers, tropical fruits, esters, varnish, etc. On the nose, there's a hint of sweetness. The palate confirms the nose, with a liveliness due to its young age, and a slight smokiness. The toasted nut note, which makes me love certain Hampden wines, is present but not very pronounced. A fine release, despite a few minor regrets, but considering its age, nothing surprising.
Review by Dieter Wilke
Impressive stuff. Despite the high alcohol aniseed, an enormous sweetness, lots of exotic fruits, very ripe pineapple, high esters. Round in the mouth. Very persistent, funky taste. Cake and cookies are also very noticeable.
Review by mandolin01
Une petite bombe ! J'adore je kiffe à fond ! Très joli Hampden jeune et bien équilibré en plus de ça très gourmand léger boisé qui donne une pointe sèche en fin de bouche un régale et surtout à un prix défiant toute concurrence !
Review by A-JW
Braucht etwas um sich zu öffnen, möchte Nase. Viel Ester und Frucht. Sehr intensiv, sehr guter Tropfen

Sehr krass, schöner Ester und Frische. Banane und Ananas. Mit einem Tropfen Wasser eine sehr runde Sache.
