Review by crazyforgoodbooze
mega delicious. Rum grape nut chocolate with a good bang and a tropical fruit salad soaked in rum on the nose, then more green sour grape & pineapple, cocoa, coconut and candied ginger in the taste. in the finish then a nice velvety mango, subtle licorice and again rum / grape / nut chocolate. very cool stuff!🤘🇯🇲🤤
Review by Oliver
Very nice single barrel bottling! Great intensity and creaminess due to the tropical maturation. Due to the high alcohol content, not an easy sipper, but insanely complex. Very good Hampden!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Subsequent tasting of the rum from 20.12. from the 2023 RumX calendar: Oh, what a heavy caliber! But really very tasty - a tropical drop to match the (today's) tropical-looking weather. The ultra-strong astringency stands out, but this is a beautiful expression of the impressive fruit aromas (almost mushy fruit, baked apple?), carried by the strong alcohol.
Review by Jakob
Great vanilla note on the palate, the tropically aged Hampdens remain a world apart for me, especially among the younger editions. Very nice LROK.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A superb Hampden that has everything a Jamaican lover could dream of. The nose is extremely funky, with a good heaviness on ripe exotic fruits, olive, esters, glue and varnish. Pepper, vanilla, marzipan and caramel diversify the aromatic palette of this Single Cask, which is already very pleasant on the nose. The palate is a beautiful aromatic bomb. A lovely compote of overripe exotic fruit and tangy citrus, with vanilla, pepper, marzipan, caramel, toasted oak, olive tapenade and funky notes to round it all off. Very well-balanced and homogeneous. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long and warm, with empyreumatic notes (smoky, roasted), spicy wood and licorice. Esters, glue and tropical fruit go hand in hand to balance it all out. A superb Single Cask that drinks like whey.

A really good LROK! Also clearly above the 'standard' Velier Pure Single 2010 / 11 yr. The high (very well integrated) ABV conveys many more facets.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Rum X Advent 20.12.2023 Toller Hampden, tolle Abfüllung. Alkohol stark aber mit viel geschmacklicher Kraft. Im Mund gute Balance von Vanille, gegrillte tropische Früchte und Zitrusfrüchte. Gepaart mit tropischer Reife und Holzeinfluss. Sehr lecker.

RumX Calendar Day 20 The first idea always seems to be the best. What a great bottling. Hampden can be really multi-faceted. Thank you for giving me the pleasure of tasting it.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice Hampden. Fruity and lightly woody with light spice. Oily and lightly dry on the palate. Love the empty glass even the day after 😊
Review by Christian Rudt
Sehr kräftiger LROK der Zeit braucht. So würzig das ich schon gedanklich woanders war aber natürlich auch hier viel Frucht wobei Banane und Mango hier den Ton angeben. Klasse wie vielschichtig der Rum ist. Da kann man blind schon Mal völlig daneben liegen 😁
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Remaining sample I missed during the RumX Advent calendar. Quite a treat saved for last. From beginning to end it feels like a Hampden, esters are strongly felt, especially on strong pineapple notes. Slightly soury. High abv, but alcohol integrated well. Nice medium finish.
Review by Christoph
Karamellisiertes Mango-Ananas Eis mit Kokosflocken hätte ich jetzt gern. Aber als Rum auch nicht schlecht. Der Alkohol ist hier wunderbar eingebunden und trotzdem kommt gerade hinten aus eine schöne Esterladung, wobei aus den Kokosraspeln im Abgang eher Pfeffer wird.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Great Hampden I like the mark
Review by Vincent D
Superb rum! An explosive nose that keeps evolving. Fruits galore. Discreet but sensitive esters. Sweet and intense on the palate. Explosion of fruit followed by darker notes. Just superb. I haven't enjoyed a Hampden for a long time.
Review by Mentalo
Starke Einzelfassabfüllung von Hampden. Hier überzeugt mich die tropische Reifung. Sehr schöne Cremigkeit, tolle Fruchtnoten nach Mango, Ananas und Banane. Etwas Olive und Holz. Leichte Säure. Alkohol ist gut integriert.
