Review by Christoph H.
My favorite Hampden to date! Many may not understand, many he is too crass and too one-sided. For me, this is not the case at all. The fruit notes in combination with the finest vanilla, anise and oak notes is for me at the moment with nothing to compare and my absolute favorite. I could smell it for hoursIn the mouth it really goes off.... Fruity, creamy, sweet, intense and simply delicious. The over 66% are perfectly integrated
Review by mto75
tasted with the Rum Cask Hampden 1990, both C<>H Marque, the Flensburg with more ABV, the Rum Cask matured longer. In direct comparison, the Flensburg seems as if someone had installed a turbo, on the nose crass notes of fermented buttermilk and citrus, fantastic! The Rum Cask, on the other hand, seems almost a bit flat, i.e. much more balanced, with a broader fruit palette and baking spices. Similar on the palate, the Flensburg with more power and acidity, the Rum Cask rounder and more complex, also somewhat bacon-spicy.

Second testing and this is a really great rum.

What a Hampden!
Review by Thomas Wille
Great continental aged 12 year old Hampden ( Mark C<>H) from Flensburg Rum Company 👏🏻
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Thus company has very high standards and thus usually always scores high on their releases. This particular one is fruity from nose to finish and I love is. The nose is nice and is very fruity and I'd aay overripe fruits for the most part. There is some vanilla and a small hint of glue The palate is dry and complex, equally fruity as the nose and followed by barrel spices and a touch of ester. The finish is long and fruity with vanilla and smoky barrel/oak.
Review by Christoph
Butter with sugar and vitamin C containing fruit most intense on the nose and even more blatant in the mouth. The finish adds something metallic and it is a bit furry on the palate. Here you can really taste the fermented tropical fruit. A true ester bomb. Alcohol is super integrated.
Review by Martin Augustin
Great Hampden with lots of funk. Great fruit basket with incisive cherry on the nose. Lots of esters, glue, marzipan and butter on the palate. Great long finish.
Review by Dr.Django
Two high-ester monsters: SBS NY 2005: The nose promises a lot and the palate delivers. A funky Jamaica, with a little smoke. The only thing that bothers me is the not quite perfectly integrated alcohol. But that's mexing on a very high level, a great bottling! FRC Hampden 2007: This excellent rum doesn't need many words! A continental matured Hampden that was the benchmark for me in its category lamge.
Review by Lukas Jäger
A really good Hampden, offers the full load of ester and the horny Hampden flavor par excellence. You have to like, I like, really good. Despite the acidity and the biting esters somehow also soft and creamy. Class.Does nothing to the point, but: the beer stored in this barrel is also really cool👌
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Gross stuff. Ester without end. Very intense. Can be drunk well despite 66.8%.In direct comparison to other High-Ester Hampdens I had to score the 2007 somewhat down (-2).
Review by Stuesch
Edit: 07/23 Compared with Whiskey Jury HD 2007 and Velier HD 2010 C<>H. From 92 to 90. But best from the 2007 HD class. Wow. What a great rum. Ester, overripe, partly fermented fruit on the nose. On the palate it seems even more intense. A tingle on the tongue and yet the alcohol is incredibly well integrated. The finish lasts for what feels like an eternity. The only drawback: I unfortunately only got a sample here.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A true pure high ester as we love them, this Flensburg is particularly rich and opulent, with beautiful fruity and phenolic notes that combine with a pastry and fermented side that rounds out the angles. It stands out from Kill Devil's cuvée thanks to its greater length on the nose. On the palate, the power of Hampden speaks again, with strong phenolic notes, intense ripe tropical fruit, tangy citrus notes and spicy touches on a marzipan background. More intense and less fruity than Kill Devil, this Flensburg tends towards a heavy, intense profile where the alcohol is remarkably well integrated. The finish is drier, tannic and slightly bitter. The fruit is more subdued, but the medicinal notes resurface to permeate the mouth even after brushing the teeth. A rich, aromatic and gourmet Hampden, a real treat for any Jamaican rum connoisseur.
Review by Mike H.
Second sampling, this time from my freshly opened bottle. Incredibly good. Added 3 points to my first rating (from a 2cl sample).
