“RumX Advent Calendar 23.12.21: mmmh Hampden😋 really cool. Everything in it what it needs.Edit: awesome Rum🇯🇲 lots of cherry, cooked banana, brioche, salty water pickled olives, brioche. Very much great to discover. Even though the alcohol is well integrated, I need some water here. Exposes some flavors and makes the drinking experience more accessible.”

“A really good Hampden, offers the full load of ester and the horny Hampden flavor par excellence. You have to like, I like, really good. Despite the acidity and the biting esters somehow also soft and creamy. Class.Does nothing to the point, but: the beer stored in this barrel is also really cool👌”

“tasted with the Rum Cask Hampden 1990, both C<>H Marque, the Flensburg with more ABV, the Rum Cask matured longer. In direct comparison, the Flensburg seems as if someone had installed a turbo, on the nose crass notes of fermented buttermilk and citrus, fantastic! The Rum Cask, on the other hand, seems almost a bit flat, i.e. much more balanced, with a broader fruit palette and baking spices. Similar on the palate, the Flensburg with more power and acidity, the Rum Cask rounder and more complex, also somewhat bacon-spicy.”

“Edit: 07/23 Compared with Whiskey Jury HD 2007 and Velier HD 2010 C<>H. From 92 to 90. But best from the 2007 HD class. Wow. What a great rum. Ester, overripe, partly fermented fruit on the nose. On the palate it seems even more intense. A tingle on the tongue and yet the alcohol is incredibly well integrated. The finish lasts for what feels like an eternity. The only drawback: I unfortunately only got a sample here.”

“Auweia, was für ein Brett! Ich begreife erst jetzt so langsam, was für eine irre Flasche ich da weggegeben habe ... Andererseits bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich diesem Ester-Tsunami gewachsen wäre. Was ist dieser Rum doch für eine krasse Erfahrung!”

“My favorite Hampden to date! Many may not understand, many he is too crass and too one-sided. For me, this is not the case at all. The fruit notes in combination with the finest vanilla, anise and oak notes is for me at the moment with nothing to compare and my absolute favorite. I could smell it for hoursIn the mouth it really goes off.... Fruity, creamy, sweet, intense and simply delicious. The over 66% are perfectly integrated”

“Thus company has very high standards and thus usually always scores high on their releases. This particular one is fruity from nose to finish and I love is. The nose is nice and is very fruity and I'd aay overripe fruits for the most part. There is some vanilla and a small hint of glue The palate is dry and complex, equally fruity as the nose and followed by barrel spices and a touch of ester. The finish is long and fruity with vanilla and smoky barrel/oak.”

“Hardcore glue, esters and marzipan butter cookies on the nose, plus bubba cherry and overripe BBananegeschmacklich then sour with lots of glue and nail polish remover, the mouth completely drying and astringent. then again the typical overripe banana and at the end remains hubba Bubba cherry and fermented pineapple with lots of esters, plus some salty olive brine and butter brioche.really an extreme ester bomb, to me he is just overall in the finish a bit too astringent and furry in the finish.”

“A true pure high ester as we love them, this Flensburg is particularly rich and opulent, with beautiful fruity and phenolic notes that combine with a pastry and fermented side that rounds out the angles. It stands out from Kill Devil's cuvée thanks to its greater length on the nose. On the palate, the power of Hampden speaks again, with strong phenolic notes, intense ripe tropical fruit, tangy citrus notes and spicy touches on a marzipan background. More intense and less fruity than Kill Devil, this Flensburg tends towards a heavy, intense profile where the alcohol is remarkably well integrated. The finish is drier, tannic and slightly bitter. The fruit is more subdued, but the medicinal notes resurface to permeate the mouth even after brushing the teeth. A rich, aromatic and gourmet Hampden, a real treat for any Jamaican rum connoisseur.”

“Butter with sugar and vitamin C containing fruit most intense on the nose and even more blatant in the mouth. The finish adds something metallic and it is a bit furry on the palate. Here you can really taste the fermented tropical fruit. A true ester bomb. Alcohol is super integrated.”
