TRC Hampden Jamaica JMH <>H 2001
"The good old times" is how one taster sums up this 2001 Hampden, and the reviews back it up: grilled pineapple, banana, mango and floral esters wrapped in well-integrated 18-year oak. Continentally aged but full of that wild ester funk, with a buttery, almost honeyed sweetness. At 61.2%, several note the ABV sits surprisingly well — though a couple find a faint medicinal edge late.
- Grilled pineapple, banana
- Wild ester funk
- Long finish

How does TRC Hampden Jamaica JMH <>H 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Funky, fruity 18-year cask-strength Hampden Most see classic Hampden in fine form — tropical fruit, esters, deep wood, long finish. A few feel the high ABV isn't perfectly tucked in, and one finds it only average now.

Review by Christoph H.
Continental aging to perfection, what a Hampden! Absolutely warm and highly concentrated nose. Especially come through here besides fermented pineapple, grapefruit and citrus jam, incredibly pleasant notes of overripe banana, which I find very cool. The rum is incredibly round but still wonderfully complex. The palate is very mouth-filling, creamy, sweet. The fruitiness diminishes a bit and is taken a bit more by the classic earthy notes.... wonderful taste! One of my favorites, just good
Review by Basti
Die Nase ist sehr fruchtig mit Mango, überreifer Ananas und Banane. Dazu sind auch florale/blumige Noten vorhanden, etwas Olive und Vanille. Genauso spielt sich das auch am Gaumen ab. Tolle Abfüllung mit sehr gut integriertem ABV.
Review by Oliver
Wow, Hampden in Bestform! Hier kommt alles zusammen: Tropische Früchte, funky Esters, tolle Cremigkeit und angenehme Süße. Exzellenter Hampden aus 2001!
Review by zabo
So nach dem 2014er <>H zum Vergleich nochmal diesen aus dem glorreichen 2001er Jahrgang. Ein sehr unfairer Vergleich im Grunde, aber obwohl dieser nur kontinental gelagert war, wirklich sehr sehr gut. Den richtigen Zeitpunkt erwischt, diesen aus dem Fass zu holen. The Rum Cask, beweisen immer wieder ihr gutes Händchen bei sowas.
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser TRC ist deutlich komplexer als der ältere Bruder. Die Nase ist nicht ganz so betörend, aber am Gaumen harmonieren die Frucht, Holz und Würze hervorragend. So muss es sein 🤩. Der Abgang ist lang und intensiv. Ein sehr guter 2001er Hampden Re-Tasting bei Dr. Django: Meine Bewertung bleibt unverändert
Review by Jakob
Exquisite representative of Hampden's 2001 vintage. Great balance of fruity freshness, tart wood and spice notes, and filigree sweetness. Excellent.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This truly is a diamond in the rough. Once rested it is really fruity with esters and nice wood. The palate is both intense and balanced and the ABV is well integrated. The empty glass is absolutely amazing.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Intensiv. Hintenraus immer weicher. Tolles Trinkerlebnis.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
great marrow. I like this as well as tropically matured. The barrel comes through well for its 18 years.
