“Funky, fruity Hampden with superb integration.”

The No. 7 HLCF, a limited release bottled by Nobilis Rum, originates from the Hampden distillery in Jamaica. Distilled in 1992 from molasses and aged for 29 years, this cask strength rum exhibits a robust ABV of 60.2%. Its aromatic profile features esters, pineapple, and tropical fruits, with hints of polish and glue. Tasting notes describe a funky, full-bodied character, alongside pineapple, banana, and citrus nuances. Enthusiasts admire its well-integrated alcohol, fruity depth, and complex aroma, while some note its slightly overwhelming fustiness and diminishing sweetness. Its rarity presents a potential for high collector value.

“Elegant, round and delicious. But somehow I'm missing something for a lasting impression and a better rating. The RumClub of the same vintage I found a lot better.”

“After a decent nose in the glass for me a big surprise. Nevertheless, for me the 1992 vintage is not epic.”

“How lucky can you be, three great rums in a row. Rested this one for 15+ minutes before giving it a go and what a go 😊 A lovely fruity Hampden with smoky wood and spices. There is a light funkiness on the nose and palate and the esters compliment the overall profile. The empty glass is also really nice after and hour or so.”

“A Hampden bottled by Nobilis, who have done a fine job in selecting the cask. This HLCF, aged partly in a continental climate, displays lovely fruity aromas on the nose, both exotic and very ripe (banana, pineapple and mango in particular), some citrus fruit and the famous phenolic notes typical of Jamaican funk. After aeration, a few pastry notes (marzipan) appear. On the palate, the rum has a heavy profile but is also very creamy, oily, almost chewy, and envelops the palate in exotic, funky, spicy, slightly roasted and floral flavors. The alcohol is barely perceptible. This concentration of flavors is reflected in a long, slightly tannic, smoky, spicy, pastry-like finish, as fruity and phenolic as ever, which will be hard to get rid of with toothpaste. This is obviously a very pleasant, very gourmand and aromatic rum, but one that will start to fall victim to speculation because of its undeniable qualities and, alas, its rarity.”

“Perfect compromise between very high ester content and lack of funkyness. Fruity but not unnecessarily sweet. Funky but not tongue numbing.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Classic Hampden profile paired with woody bitterness and some spice. On the palate, unfortunately, without the charismatic, heavy sweetness notes that bring additional complexity, especially in the tropically aged High-Ester bottlings again. Nevertheless, a successful bottling.”
