People already hooked on high-ester Hampden are the crowd here. At 62.5% cask strength, it hits with soured pineapple, banana, glue and solvent, a little vanilla and young oak underneath. One member calls it a "really good young Hampden," and most agree the alcohol is surprisingly well tucked in. Loud, oily and long — one taster warns everything after it tastes flat.
The community says- Grilled pineapple
- Massive ester punch
- Keep in mind: High ABV heat

How does Hampden Kill Devil (The Whisky Barrel) C<>H 2007 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Loud, fruity cask-strength Hampden funk Near-universally loved by ester fans: grilled pineapple, varnish and a huge fruity finish. Not an everyday pour, and a touch too sour and acidic for a few tasters.

Review by Tschusikowsky
Young and wild on the nose. Very horny in the mouth. Wonderful combination of flavors. Top.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Yet another great release from this bottler. They have done well on many releases with their finishes on many desstillers. The nose is fruity with varnish and light wood, vanilla and iodine. The palate is intense and fruity with spices and wood. Leave to rest for all the flavours to be released. You can also add a few drops of water. The finish is very long and fruity with wood and spices. Lovely rum and the price to quality is very good.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Super. Once again grilled pineapple deluxe. Slightly alcoholic on the nose. Massive ester notes on the palate. The alcohol is no longer so noticeable for me here, and that at over 60% alc. A sweet cherry is added to the grilled pineapple both on the nose and on the palate. Very tasty. In direct comparison with other high-ester Hampdens, I had to downgrade the 2007 somewhat (-2).
Review by Lukas Jäger
Full load of esters! Awesome stuff with edges and corners, complex with lots of fruit. Stays in the mouth for a long time and has a long-lasting taste. Makes you want more! Update 12.08.2025, several years later: Still amazing. Fat oily C<>H character that just doesn't want to leave the palate. Top mark, top bottling!
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
How this rum blew me away on first contact! A nose to sink into, incredibly intense and aggressive and yet harmonious and clear: pineapple and almond croissant are the leading notes. These are joined by fermented tropical fruits and varnish and sweet glue. In the mouth and finish, the slightly roasted pineapple, noticeable acidity and the taste of artificial cherry candy continue to dominate. The rum lingers in my mouth for minutes. Not for every day, but the full beauty of high-ester rum! Unfortunately, every other rum tastes bland afterwards.

Gorgeous ester bangers for little money
Review by Benoit Mahe
A Hampden with a very good quality-price ratio. A bit too sour and acidic for my taste but still very pleasant.
Review by Thunderbird
Immediately enormous fruitiness on the nose of soured pineapple, banana and lots of ester. Initially still some alcohol, but subsiding.... On the palate first a sweetness, then quite a lot of ester, solvent and fruit (pineapple)! terrific! Gradually some young wood, vanilla, maybe anise comes out! The longer it lingers in the mouth, it becomes slightly astringent! The high alcohol content is super integrated. This also continues in the medium-long finish!Hammer..., this is exactly mine!
Review by m8375e
Outrageously vibrant, radiant Hampden at its best
Review by tojo
A high-ester bomb that you have to sniff from a good distance. All kinds of yellow and red fermented fruits, combined with solvent/lacquer. Long and intense finish. Alcohol is very well integrated. Exciting rum, but not for every day.
Review by Oliver
Even more awesome than New Yarmouth 13
Review by Chris84
Really good young Hampden
Review by Mr. Stups
Minimally less fruit than the sister barrel, but the alcohol is a tick better integrated. Bomb stuff
Review by Kieron Wood
This is beautiful with the funk with full strength cask taste wow ... Taste of wood , toffee and slight apple at the end bizarly ... Burns the Bose but Tastes delicious..add a drop of water to dial it down and then the pepper finishes come through

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›This doesn’t have the slightly bitter note of the 17 year old on the finish and is ever so slightly better balanced overall than the 9 year. To be fair you should buy all three of those bottlings if you can. No scrap that – buy two, three as many...
