Day 12 of the Samples de Luxe calendar and tasted again a year and a half later. Jamaica and Hampden are evident on the nose. Funky and fruity, lots of tropical fruit. On the palate, despite the esters and thanks to the fruitiness, the sensation is pleasant, almost easy with a little silkiness. The finish is a little disappointing, with a bitter, medicinal taste replacing the fruit. A fine rum, dense and balanced, easy to drink and with character. If I'd guessed Hampden, I'd never have imagined so many years of aging...
Auto-translatedWow, this is a lovely and fruity Hampden where you can get the ester notes. Great balance between fruit, spices and smoky wood with a touch of caramel.
Great '90 Hampden. Balanced profile of overripe tropical fruit, wood, spice, baking notes, sweetness of caramel and vanilla, plus hints of olive and some tea. A pleasure to drink!
Auto-translatedNot quite the level of the 1993. A good HD 1990, but not a top level for me, so in my eyes a tad too expensive.
