Nail polish, overripe pineapple and marzipan hit first, backed by real Hampden funk — solvent, glue, fermented red fruit. At 64% the heat is there, but most tasters say the alcohol sits well and lets the tropical fruit through. Continentally aged, drier than you'd expect, ending long and tannic. A few found the bitterness on the finish a touch much.
The community says- Big Hampden funk
- Ripe tropical fruit
- But: Bitter, tannic finish

How does Hampden Kill Devil (The Whisky Barrel) C<>H 2007 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Intense, funky Hampden with a bitter edge A loved young Hampden — huge esters, pineapple and nail polish over well-integrated heat. The catch a few flag: a dry, tannic, slightly bitter finish.

Review by cigares
An almost white rum. A nose of varnish, overripe banana, and oddly enough, gratiné ham! The palate swings between tropical fruits and quite pronounced bitterness. Quite a presence of cedar wood. A floral side and lots of complexity. The finish is very long with still quite a bit of bitterness. A very beautiful rum, personally I was a bit bothered by the bitterness, admittedly noble but a bit too present, which cost some points.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
28.02.2020 Had a nice meet up with new rum nerds. Notes. Light in colour. Nose Wood, citrus, pineapple, spice, round. Palate Medium oily, wood, light roasted, citrus, pineapple, herbs, balanced. Finish Long and warm, fruity, citrus, spice.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb Hampden offering excellent value for money. The nose opens with a funky aromatic bomb, whose concentration is heightened by the high alcohol content. The watts are there, it's intense and quite heavy, but this perfume still perfumes the nostrils with notes of esters, nail polish, glue and solvents, along with ripe exotic fruits and fermented red fruits. The profile softens considerably after aeration, losing some of its high ester status. Liveliness returns on the palate with an aromatic explosion, ranging from the fruity, phenolic notes of the usual funk to flowers and olive, with a slight pastry edge on marzipan. The alcohol is very well integrated. This cuvée is sweeter, fruitier and more affordable than the Flensburg, but perhaps a little less striking than the latter. The finish is perfumed, dry and tannic, with a hint of bitterness despite the esters and exotic fruits still present on the palate. A devilishly intense rum.
Review by DomM
Nose: little more delicate / additional (unusual) herbal notesLess spikey / powerful / fruit basket vs. pineapple forward / very adstringend
Review by Mike H.
A very lovely rum, I really appreciate the mix of solvents, slightly overripe fruit and funk.
Review by Leo Krüper
Great continental Hampden that has it all
Review by Jackie Flannery
Amazing young Hampden. The CH marque is perfect. So much presence as soon as you open the bottle. Not even a high ppm Isla whisky can’t keep up the smells this high esters rum brings. I still have the other syster Cask at 62,5% and the 2x11yrs. Amazing stuff there too! Perhaps the coolest rum I’ve in my collection. Young, wild, in your face. Pineapples, nail polish, vineger, lime and lurking in the back sweetness in the form av tutti fruity chuggingumm. These 4 casks where selected by The Whisky Barrel. What a selection! Amazin stuff!!! B: Yes! If you can find a bottle.
Review by Stylo
WOW! I’ve had in the past an Habitation Velier CH and it was extreme powerful in funk..this one appears to me more tamed, yet absolutely amazing! On the nose, the alcohol is well integrated, allowing you to focus on tropical fruits flavors (pineapple, mango, banana), then some minerals like rocks, then orange jam and flowers in the background! The funk is just another layer of flavors, that adds complexity! On the palate, the alcohol is more present, it tingles your tongue. Again, fruits, the jam is now more like candied orange peel, marzipan, all with the right amount of astringency! Truly a gem, at a way more reasonable price of the HV!
Review by Righrum
An esters driven continentally aged Hampden. On the nose, canned ananas provides the fruity part along with nail polish, with little wood in the end. Drink side, bitter and watery again, still a nice dram though
Review by Basti
Delicious Hampden, but a little too edgy for me.
Review by Johannes
Class PLV!
Review by Sebastian.W
A great Hampden with lots of overripe fruit, chocolate and nail polish. The alcohol is well integrated.
Review by Vidaa Wz
Beautiful expression of the Hampden distillery from the very first olfactory notes of pineapple nail polish, ripe banana, esters, everything we love, you also recognize pastry notes, biscuits, nuts, which I appreciate, especially in Jamaicans. The palate is very lively on the alcohol, maybe integration could have been better.
Review by Barnagricole
Annans, mango, passion fruit and varnish. Beautiful balance and lovely indulgence.
Review by Jesper Petersen
lots of ester and funkyness - should be bought
Review by Mr. Stups
Really hard in the face. Fruit basket and acidity with only a subtle wood influence. Unbeatable at the price back then.

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...
