Masam Hampden Silvano‘s Collection HLCF 1992
"Wow, this one was even better," wrote one Danish taster who went hunting for a bottle. This 27-year-old Hampden leans pale and fruity: pineapple, passion fruit, overripe banana and that familiar ester funk, with a thread of smoke and vanilla. Several call it elegant and well-integrated for 54.5%. The recurring note? It's a touch tame for a Hampden, and a bit sweet and sticky.
- Tropical fruit
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Long smoky finish

How does Masam Hampden Silvano‘s Collection HLCF 1992 taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Elegant, fruity old Hampden, slightly tame Most rate it a lovely, well-balanced old Hampden full of tropical fruit and gentle funk. The honest split: some find it too sweet and a little "monotonous," wanting more of the distillery's wild side.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Wow, this one was even better and I have to see if I can get my hands on a bottle somewhere. The nose is complex with lots of fruit, varnish and smoke trailed by flower, caramel, vanilla and a bit of honey. The palate is complex with smoky wood, fruits and vanilla trailed by caramel, licorice and a hint of tea. The finish is very long with smoky wood, tropical fruits and a hint of licorice. Needs to rest and if you add a few drops of water the flavours really open up. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A solid and complex Hampden but it lacks something to make it great
Review by Aussierumfan
A lovely old Hampden from the early 90s. Very well balanced. Quite sweet and pale in colour, Im assuming it would have been continentally aged. Im getting tropical fruits and some smokiness as well. Very nice.
Review by Vincent D
Ca commence fort avec ce nez très fondu ou les esters, les fruits mûrs et le boisé sont présents mais d'une belle finesse. Ca n'explose pas. Hâte de goûter. Sensation confirmée avec cette bouche élégante ou la trame boisée enrobé les fruits et les esters d'une délicate amertume. C'est vraiment très fin. Superbe.
Review by Oliver
Very good representative of the 1992 vintage. For a top rating, however, it is a bit too sweet and "sticky" for me.
Review by Ayc
Dégustation avec Simon Nez: ultra élégant, assez frais fruits tropicaux pas forcément mûre (passion), ananas en trame de fond, gourmand. Bouche: fidèle au nez, tres frais élégant sur l’ananas et la passion. Trop gentil pour moi manque un peu d’exubérance de la distillerie. Ça reste un joli rhum
Review by Jakob
High-ester meets heavy, syrupy sweetness. Overall, very balanced, full-bodied, but without reaching the complexity of some other bottlings from the early 90s. Nevertheless, a very good rum.
Review by lamb Dave
A nice '92 HD, as full as the SBRR (RX 1413), although a bit lower in alcohol, and the alcohol integrates better than it, without the obvious spiciness and pungency. very similar to the rest of the '92 HDs, so if don't get a chance to drink it, you can totally have another alternatives. Of course, there are the common problems of 1992: the complexity, the implicit finish, and a bit monotonous overall.
Review by Basti
Ziemlich süffiger Hampden mit sehr gut integriertem Alkohol.
