Review by Christoph
Perfect compromise between very high ester content and lack of funkyness. Fruity but not unnecessarily sweet. Funky but not tongue numbing.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Really very close to the Rum Club 1992s. The alcohol is integrated here very slightly worse. But that is really complaining at a very high level.
Review by Thunderbird
A typical Hampden that is absolutely convincing! The alcohol is super integrated, the esters do not predominate and the fruit comes out clearly! Great, more of this please!!!
Review by Han
Whow! Sehr sehr gut! Typisch Jamaica, aber noch auf der freundlichen Seite: kräftig fruchtig funky
Review by Michael Schou
04-04-2025 - Rate 9.2 15-03-2025 - Rate 9.2 Not first time tasting but first time rating. Great nose. Classic Hampden. Lots of fruit and some barrel/wood. Taste with a slight overweight of wood. Good integration between mark and ABV. Aftertaste the wood disappears and it’s a round taste of classic Hampden.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Grandioser 1992er Hampden und der erste der trotz 5 Jahren mehr Zeit im Fass mit dem CDI und dem Rum Nation 1992 mithalten kann. Vollreife süß saure Ananas, geröstete Mandeln, Banane, butteriges Brioche, etwas Olivenlake und angenehme Ester, sowie minimal rauchig im Abgang. Sehr geil! Bisher einer meiner Lieblings 1992er Hampdens! Sehr harmonisch und große Überraschung!
Review by Anders Godspeed
An other strong Juice from Hampden. Fresh and light, yet at bit pointy and full of over ripe fruit and citrus in the nose. The taste palet is fruity, some strong acidity, dry barrel and a hefty 60,2% abv thats not perfect integrated, but packs a punch in a sexy way. Yet again as always the guys from Nobilis deliver great rum. Cheers!
Review by Adrian Wahl
After a decent nose in the glass for me a big surprise. Nevertheless, for me the 1992 vintage is not epic.
Review by Basti
The nose is very fruity with lots of ripe pineapple, other trop. Fruits, esters, wood, caramel, overall very inviting. The palate is beautifully intense with a good portion of ester, subtle glue, tropical fruit and barrel aromas. For me, one of the better 92 HDs.
Review by mto75
very round on the nose, hardly any funky ester notes (also 'only' HLCF Marque), but citrus and a note towards sour cream (?) On the palate also citrus, the 60.2% is not noticeable at all. The alcohol is excellently integrated. Toasted wood barrel on the finish. Overall, perhaps almost a bit too much wood and roasted flavors, but the Nobilis still gets a top score from me.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol very well integrated, nice peach notes. This is how a Hampden should be!
Review by igor_loves_rum
Schon sehr leckerer Rum
Review by John Coffey
Surprenant l'équilibre entre le fût et le jus.. On n'a pas le côté explosif des esters à foison mais quelque chose d'homogéne avec un côté grillé en fin de bouche
Review by Martin Augustin
A great Hampden. The alcohol is perfectly integrated here. It has a great estery nose with an incredible amount of citrus fruit. Great. The taste is incredibly soft and sparkling at the same time. Pleasantly long, slightly bacony finish.
