Poured neat in a tasting glass — this is not a mixer. The nose hits with glue and ester first, then a sweet fruit basket of banana, pineapple and green apple, with light wood and a touch of smoke behind it. The palate turns sourer than the nose promises, and one taster notes the banana lingers "laaaaaaange" on a long, anise-heavy finish. A serious 26-year Hampden C<>H at cask strength.

The look inside the bottle
How does TRC Hampden Jamaica C<>H 1990 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Ester-heavy, fruity old Hampden for sipping Members rate it near the top of the C<>H marque — huge ester nose, tropical fruit, long finish. A few felt it landed just short of the very best Hampdens or a touch too round.

Review by SaibotZtar
Very good HD ... for me personally definitely not the best... although very good Hampden. Nice esterwums with a lot of fruit and some wood and slight bitterness. The finish is its strength, the rum and the Anna's banana can be tasted for a loooooong time in the mouth.
Review by Adrian Wahl
I am incredibly grateful to be able to drink this sample. Thank you @ Saibot Ztar. I was hoping the 94 would drop and it would beat the Nobilis 93. But alas, on both the palate and the nose, it's not enough. 92 is still legendary...but I expected even more. In direct comparison with the TRC30 for me on par.

02.04.2020 Had a nice tasting with my friends at a very nice hotel. Notes. Light in colour. Nose: Intense, light wood, banana, fruity, glue, ester. Palate: fresh, light wood, ester, pineapple, medium dry. Fibish: long and warm, fresh, medium dry, roasted wood, banana.

Only very close behind the 30 and Rumclub.
Review by bossi
On the nose, the first thing we notice is the typical ester glue note with slight acidity, followed by a very sweet fruit basket with banana, pineapple, green apple and citrus fruits. Wood, some smoke and a slight earthiness round off the nose. The esters from the nose are first noticeable on the palate, although a little more acidic than the nose suggests. The entire nose can be found again on the palate and becomes strongly aniseed-heavy in the finish. It is much stronger and, above all, rounder and more mature than the Duncan Taylor. A little too round for some of us. Nevertheless, a masterpiece of rum. 93 points
Review by Filip Šikula
I love hampdens, I usually consider the C<>>H brand to be their pinnacle, and this is a different universe. We know that tum cask can be choosy, and here it proves that to be the case. Brutal nose, explosion of flavours and a long-lasting finish.
