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
- Oily texture
- But: Wood-forward

Woody, pineapple-led aged Hampden at cask strength A very good aged Hampden most enjoy — though a few rate its RumClub and CDI siblings higher, finding this one woodier and less balanced.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Johannes
Tolle Frucht! Für einen eher low Ester perfekt! Alkohol super eingebunden!
Review by Basti
Balanced nose with tropical fruits, spices, wood and esters. The palate is dominated by trop. Fruits, especially pineapple, plus esters, wood and unfortunately also medicinal notes and a slight bitterness. Good 92 HD, but not Champions League.
Review by zabo
Nachdem das HLCF Mark nicht unbedingt bei Hampden mein absoluter Favorit ist, muss ich denoch eingestehen, dass dies eine sehr gut gelungenen Abfüllung ist, die richtig Spaß macht. Schöne Ananasnoten.
Review by Mentalo
Der 92er Hampden von Kill Devil fällt im Vergleich zu der RumClub und CDI Abfüllung etwas ab. Deutlich mehr Holz und auch der Alkohol ist nur noch gut eingebunden. Einfach nicht so hervorragend ausbalanciert. Trotzdem noch ein sehr guter Hampden.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Ein fantastischer Hampden. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Die Nase ist komplex und hat neben den Estern auch Rauch, Speck und starke Assoziationen mit weißen Gummibärchen. Das macht Spaß. Am Gaumen super cremig mit schönem Fasseinfluss. Der Abgang ist lang und intensiv ohne zu trocken zu werden. Absolut top.

Read full review →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.
