Review by cigares
A world of difference between the opening of the bottle and four months later. A hard, alcoholic rum turns into a still strong, but very fruity rum with a very well integrated wood. A little bit of water softens the nose, reveals even more fruit and brings out a slight smokiness. A very nice surprise and a delicious rum! A remarkable rum raisin finish. Re-tasted and even better.
Review by Galli33
Welcome to Jamaica! In the nose coconut, pineapple , banana, spicy and lovely ester notes. In mouth it‘s starts with a bitter taste than it delivers the classic funky note with fruit basket, anise, ester… The finish is dry, woody with notes of ester, chocolate anise and tannins. Very very delicious rum. It‘s complex and spicy, so give it some time to fully open. You could add some water for sure (2-3 drops)
Review by DomM
Nice combination of caramel and chocolate notes alongside nice tropical fruits. Alcohol is not flawlessly integrated however.
Review by Stefan L
Fourth tasting and still really good 😋😋 - Many tastings in and still this is a really really god rum 😋😋
Review by Serge
Delicious LROK with a nice nose. It's not my favorite Hampden Mark, but this is already delicious and the young age fits well here. Fruity with lots of pineapple and banana, spicy and slightly medicinal
Review by Christoph
In terms of taste, rather on the sweet side of tropical fruits (mango, papaya, banana). In addition, a funky finish with some rubber. In the taste also some chocolate. For a LROK already pretty funky.
Review by Basti
I found the nose surprisingly restrained. Very intense on the palate, but not particularly complex. Alcohol is perceptible, but not disturbing. Unfortunately, it fell somewhat short of my expectations overall.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very aromatic and powerful Hampden, with a typical nose of ripe tropical fruit, citrus, solvents, esters and varnish, followed by more floral notes, vanilla and wood. After aeration, a hint of smoke and meatiness emerges. The rum is powerful and intense on the palate, carried by Jamaican markers, marzipan, leather and spices. The alcohol is certainly present, but remarkably well integrated. The extremely long finish continues the spicy, smoky, salty, fruity profile with hints of tannin and leather. A very intense, aromatic, gourmet rum that is a credit to its distillery.

I like this one and you get the esters though they're not super high. A very fruity rum with some funk and wood/chocolate. I really like the smoky wood finish.

Review by Jeremie Edde
Excellent! one of my favorite hampden. It's really elegant, you don't feel the 67°, it's so well made!
Review by Timo Groeger
Great LROK here from Hampden. Ester is also slightly noticeable, otherwise the typical Hampden markers of tropical fruits, consisting of banana and pineapple. On the palate, you can also detect some chocolate.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, esters and nail polish, funky, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, slightly spicy, vegetal, flowery molasses, bump into our nosetrils On aeration, wood is roasted, spicy, salty, some citrus fruits arise. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is funky, slightly alcoholic, medicinal with esters, delicious with tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, on oxidation mango, dried fruits, berries and red fruits come out, the molasses is vegetal with briny olive, as the wood is roasted, spicy with vanilla. 8,7:The finish is long, dry&tannic, medicinal with esters, rubber, as the roasted wood notes, smoky and spicy, with strong oak, pair various fruits like mango, mandarine, berries and pineapple.
Review by Vincent D
J'aime beaucoup ce mark de chez Hampden, plutôt discret sur les esters. Ici, on retrouve bien les fruits très murs Hampden, un joli boisé, des solvants mais le tout est bien fondu est pas trop extrême. L'alcool est très bien intégré, mais 67% est quand même trop élevé pour moi.
Review by jonathan.p🇫🇷
Very fruity nose with full ester! On the palate, all the promise of fruit is there! It's very intense, a multitude of tropical fruits, very ripe and the alcohol is superbly well integrated. So good!
