Masam Hampden Silvano's Collection HLCF 1992
"Even better than I hoped," one Danish taster wrote — and most agree this is a lovely old Hampden. Expect pineapple and passion fruit up front, overripe banana, gentle esters, a little smoke and vanilla-caramel sweetness. Several find it elegant but a touch too polite and sweet for a '92 Hampden, missing some of the distillery's usual exuberance. A few drops of water open it up.
The community says- Pineapple and passion fruit
- Well-integrated alcohol
- But: A bit too sweet

How does Masam Hampden Silvano's Collection HLCF 1992 taste?
Aggregated from 31 community reviews.
Elegant, fruity old Hampden, a touch too polite Well-liked as a fine, well-balanced Hampden with tropical fruit and light smoke. Some love it; others find it too tame and sweet for a '92, and one taster called it watery.

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.

Ziemlich süffiger Hampden mit sehr gut integriertem Alkohol.
