04-04-2025 - Rate 10.0 15-03-2025 - Rate 10.0 Second time tasting this fantastic rum. This is to date the best rum I have ever tasted. Amazing balance between ester and ABV. Smooth as non other. Show me something better 😉🥃 This is the benchmark for others to beat.
Review by Anders Godspeed
Blown away - fantastic Hampden, maby the best i have had so far. Amazing nose - Fruity, fresh, yet suttle and sweet oily and amazingly pleasent and inviting. Taste is so smooth, even for the powerhouse of 65,8% abv that I sexy integrated in the fruity, light citrus, funky, oily taste with an amazingly long afterburner in the most pleasent way. So glad there is a bottle left on the shelf and some samples also. Amazing Rum Juice from Hampden! Cheers!
Review by SaibotZtar
Really good Hampden! For me, the Nobilis 1993 still has the best nose I could try so far (olfactory the Essens Hampden, I can sniff it for hours) ...Taste he still does not need to hide ... definitely a highlight!
Review by Carlitooo
Has blindly very narrowly beaten the rum club and both TRC. The difference of 1 point is very close
Review by Adrian Wahl
An incredible rum. This nose is just outstanding. The taste is just a blast. Such great fruit and so complex. For me, the best rum I have ever drunk.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
What a board! 💣 C<>H as it is written in the book! Much more beastly and funky than the 1992. Much more power and significantly more complexity than if it had been given a little more tropical maturation. Fully ripe caramelized pineapple, salty-sour olive brine, juicy mango with spicy ginger, velvety sweet white chocolate and caramel, lime zest, citrus marmalade and plenty of glue and esters. An incredibly beautiful thick and oily viscosity with a pleasant sweetness and an almost endless finish. Actually reminds me subtly of the 2010 warren khong Hampden... Really, really cool and quite rightly rated so highly!

A great continental Hampden, I love it.
Review by Jesper Petersen
insanely delicious - but expensive
Review by Jakob
Absolutely fantastic nose. Taste still exceptionally good, but no longer quite on par with the olfactory impression. But would also be almost too good to be true. Nevertheless, wonderfully complex on the palate with a mixture of fruit esters, heavy sweetness, wood and smoke - a terrific Hampden!
Review by Mike H.
Incredible nose. I could smell the rum while the glass was still on the table. 🥰 It was exceptionally good in the mouth as well. Outstanding, one of the best Hampdens that I have tasted so far.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is incredibly expressive: power, esters, fruitiness ... of a perfect complex balance. This explosive C<>H mark is put on its pedestal with this long continental aging. It's great that solvent glue that emerges in the room for a long time ... The attack in mouth is astringent, the time that the mouth adopts this will-o'-the-wisp. Then we discover caramelized pineapple, olive, basil. A real tropical fruit cake overripe and full-bodied. The finish is endless and warm on grilled pineapple with a slight bitterness.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I was not fast enough so had to get a sample from a friend. The rum was sold out in less than 3 minutes! This is the best Hampden I have ever tasted. The balance and well integrated proof is a piece of heaven. The nose is truly Hampden from the moment you open and there is a lot of "fish" to it. What I mean is like the smell of sashimi at the sushi restaurant combined with the normal Jamaica funk. The palate is unique and pretty good. I just got a sample of the Golden Devil 27 Hampden and that one is even better.
