Hampden Kill Devil HLCF 1992

Sipped neat at cask strength, this is a 24-year Hampden that leans woody more than wild. Ripe pineapple leads, backed by ester, vanilla and roasted oak, with an oily texture one member could smell "from the other side of the table." The alcohol is well integrated for 62%. A faint medicinal edge and light bitterness show up on the palate for some.

The community says
  • Ripe pineapple

I love these high ABV releases from Kill Devil because they usually hit the mark. From opening the bottle you get the fruity ester notes and as the poured rum "cures" in the glass the flavours can be picked up from the other side of the table. I love the oily texture and the nice roasted woody notes that blend very well with the fruit and spice notes.

Great fruit! Perfect for a rather low ester! Alcohol very well integrated!

Although the HLCF Mark is not exactly my absolute favorite at Hampden, I have to admit that this is a very well-made bottling that is really fun. Nice pineapple notes.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

I hope it doesn't fall into the hands of someone looking for another Ron Milonario XO or a replacement for his Zacapa XO. Expensive but rums this age from Hampden Estate do not come up very often.
