Review by TheRhumhoe
The quintessence of Jamaican rum. The nose lets ripe exotic fruits and phenolic notes typical of Jamaica express themselves, then floral notes bring freshness while pastry and butter notes give an extreme greediness. The balance between tropical fruits and esters, glue and solvents is found in the mouth, with precious woody, spicy, pastry and toffee notes that make this rum sublime. It is round, complex, exuberant, oily, very full and aromatic in the mouth. The finish is long, elegant and of a rare aromatic intensity with mineral and olive notes that add to the fruity, phenolic and pastry notes. A rum of anthology with a rare aromatic complexity for 7 years of age.
Review by Oliver
Extremely intense and creamy Hampden. Perfect ester level and (tropical) degree of maturity. On the palate, there are also the typical New Yarmouth cookie dough associations, paired with cheese crackers. Sensational Hampden! 💣😍
Review by Jakob
Exquisite Hampden. Fans of the tropically aged high-ester representatives are offered a lot here - the tropical fruits meet the right mix of wood influences from the barrel, sweet pastry notes, some glue and spice. Hampden at its best - inspiring.

Brutal geiler Hampden. Heilige Scheiße, das Ding macht richtig Spaß! Absolutes Brett / richtiger panty-dropper 🩲😂🤤🤤🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏 hier hätte ich damals echt gerne ne Flasche gekauft. Für mich einer der besten Hampdens überhaupt!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This was the last tasting in Hague before going to Amsterdam the following day. A near perfect rum once rested for at least 15 minutes the nose and palate evolve into something really exciting. The nose is funky and fruity with varnish, ester, vanilla and nuts as well as light wood. The palate is funky, dry and maybe for some a tad too bitter. But I like it a lot. Fruit and spices are well balanced with light notes of varnish. The finish is extremely long, dry and bitter with fruits and spices. When released then price to quality was very good. Even if you find a bottle today I think it'll be well worth the price.

A real ester bomb. Wow
Review by Aussierumfan
This is hampden at its finest! The nose just leaps out of the glass to meet you. Wonderfully funky, just the right amount of esters. Glue and varnish, then lots of tropical fruits. So Complex. A wonderfully long and dry finish. Really worth giving a try.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Golden color and quite viscous rum for a 7 years old. The Baklava is in the nose with its almonds, its honey, ... And of course the ripe fruits (banana, orange, pineapple). It's quite crazy and attractive as a nose! In the mouth it is TNT, we feel the 62% but ultra well integrated and greedy. It is fruity and full of esters. One believes oneself in a laboratory in full synthesis of the new nail polish of Dior. In conclusion, if you have strong enough (financially), get it.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:On the nose, esters, glue and varnish, overripe tropical fruits like banana, citrus fruits, roasted wood with nuts, pastry, spicy and oaky, briny olive, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, pineapple and mango are out, the molasses is flowery, perhaps we notice marzipan. 9,1:On the palate, the attack is delicious, balanced with overripe, fermented tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, later citrus and red fruits, slightly funky, medicinal with esters and solvents, later glue, dry, the wood is roasted with biscuits, toffee and marzipan, spicy, as the molasses is flowery and vegetal with briny olive...on oxidation, the rum becomes slightly astringent. 8,9:The finish is long, dry and tannic with roasted, slightly smoky and spicy wood, oaky and nutty, with toffee and confectionery, the molasses brings olive, is mineral, plenty medicinal notes are still here, so are tropical and citrus fruits. Edit:13.3.26
Review by Alex1981
Outstanding Hampden. Round & smooth, yet funky & powerful. All in great harmony & well integrated alcohol. Love the complexity and long finish. And all of this at this young age, wonderful! //update: score confirmed, absolute reference for the young <>h. Just the pricepoint is insane…
Review by cigares
A nose with typical Hampden esters, very ripe tropical fruit. A touch of solvents, glue and wood in the background. The palate is expressive, full of ripe tropical fruit, lightly oaked with a buttery, pastry-like taste. The finish is long, still with ripe tropical fruit. A rum of meditation, fullness and expression.

"What a treat of a Hampden. A well balanced powerhouse with fruit and ester and just a hint of buttery vanilla. This is a classic example of the prime days of Hampden before the necessities took over the warehouses. This is what Hampden hopefully will become"
