The Duchess Hampden Jamaica 13 (Great House) C<>H 2007
Near-universal love here, with the only real debate being how it stacks up against its Duchess sister cask (#18 at 66,1%) — some prefer this one's creamier, fruitier lean, others the sharper sibling. Expect a "basket of tropical fruits," overripe banana and pineapple, marzipan and plenty of glue. At 66,9% it drinks warm but the alcohol stays remarkably well tucked in.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Tropical fruit bomb
- But: Astringent

How does The Duchess Hampden Jamaica 13 (Great House) C<>H 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 52 community reviews.
Fruity, glue-heavy high-ester Hampden Loved by Hampden fans as a full-throttle ester bomb — banana, pineapple, marzipan and glue with the ABV surprisingly well integrated. Astringent and hot; sip it slowly.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute board with an awesome RRP! Great nose of caramel sweets, tropical fruit salad, with mainly pineapple and honeydew melon and plenty of glue and spice. The taste is spicy and intensely sweet with young wood, lots of spices, caramel, pineapple and plenty of glue. This thing is really fun and the alcohol is absolutely perfectly integrated! Overall, however, I find the batch 2 with 66.1% a bit better! Fuck the "standard" great house series, this is the real shit going on! 🤣🤤🥂🇯🇲💥💣 I'd really like a bottle for special occasions!
Review by Leo Krüper
Significantly spicier than the sister version with 66.1%. Interestingly, there really is a difference. Nevertheless, a great Hampden with a different focus. Super PLV and bottle design.
Review by cigares
Un nez complexe avec des esters. Ananas trop mûrs, colle, végétal et comme un côté fermentation lactique. La bouche est vive mais pas agressive car les arômes la tapissent aussitôt. Un côté beurré adoucit aussi ce rhum plutôt intense. La finale est longue et ce sont les fruits qui restent le plus longtemps avec un côté sucré très agréable, comme du chocolat au lait. Magnifique finale ! Je le préfère nettement à son frère RX10861.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Bisher mein liebster High Ester Hampden. Der Rum ist trotz der kräftigen Aromen noch schön ausgewogen ohne zu bissig zu werden. Der Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden und wärmt schön. So macht Hampden richtig Spaß.
Review by zabo
Oh yes, what a fine drop. In no way inferior to its sister cask. I really couldn't decide which of the two is better. Two top bottlings from The Duchess. Cask #6 and #18 from 2007 - great choice.
Review by Timo Groeger
And last but not least for today, a really cool Hampden. Actually, every Hampden is great haha :-) Again plenty of tropical fruits like pineapple and banana, otherwise good esters, but that's normal here :-)
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
I notice no difference to the other Duchess 2007 13 years barrel 18. Therefore, again typical Hampden full broadside Ester. In direct comparison to other High-Ester Hampdens I had to score the 2007s down a bit (-2).
Review by DomM
Nose: Powerfull / basket of tropical fruits / more mature Sweeter / powerful / esters throughout
Review by Rodolphe
Nice Hampden. However, I find it a little strong and a little rough.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6139 27.12.2025 Having a few more afternoon samples before my wife gets back home. Nose Medium intense, fruity, overripe, ester, light glue, banana, light wood, spice, faint smoke, light ginger. Palate Intense, warm, oily, ester, light wood, fruity, overripe, banana, light citrus, faint caramel, pineapple, cinnamon, light glue. Finish Very long and warm, oily, light wood, light roasted, ester, fruity, naturally sweet, light cinnamon, banana. Empty glass Banana, light cherry, cinnamon, light ginger, faint chocolate, light glue. Needs to rest for a good while and then a lot of natural sweetness shows up in the profile.
Review by Serge
Vekostet gegen das Duchess Schwesterfass (rx10861) und den Kill Devil (11490). Dieser hier kommt für mich nach dem Kill Devil auf den zweiten Platz.
Review by Domi Mal
Really good stuff - a real fruit bomb and quite a lot of High Ester Hampden with the typical notes of overripe banana, pineapple. Full-bodied, comes initially already slightly sweetish, yet has a good astringency. Real board, the alcohol is well integrated despite the 66.9%!
Review by Filip Šikula
Tak tohle je ale velká paráda! Nádherný nos plný tropického ovoce, lepidla dává vědět, že nás čeká skvělá jamaijca mojí nejoblíbenější marky C<>H. Chuť je opět ovocná komplexní a intenzivní s trochou pepře, krásně integrovaným alkoholem a trochu sucha v ústech. Závěr spíše delší a hřejivý. Nádhera!
Review by Thunderbird
In the nose immediately the classic Hampden force...ester, glue however also sweet fruity notes..on the palate first sweetness and then very astringent! Then again typical...and a very long finish, this rum reminds me strongly of the Kill Devil of 2007!
Review by TheJona'Spirits
🎨 vin blanc à or pâle. 👃 Des esters puissants et soyeux à la fois. Une belle gamme de fruits très mûrs, ananas rôti, banane flambée, mangue trop mûre, papaye en marmelade, citrons confits et salés. Un aspect crémeux, pâtissier, avec des amandes caramélisées. Puis, de la colle fraîche, des notes pétrolifères, bord de plage de galets, carcasses de fruits de mer. Léger chêne vanillé qui structure l'ensemble. 😋 Très ressemblante au nez, bien structurée et intense. Plus de vivacité, d'astringence, de funk et d'épices. Esters, fruits tropicaux surmûris bien-sûr et de l'eau de mer dans laquelle on aurait rajouté du sucre brun vanillé. Un peu de saumure et de vinaigre de vin. Bouche moins complexe que le nez. ⛳ Longue, chaude, astringente, estérisée, vanillée, colle à papier peint, amandes blanches, fruits trop mûrs, épices salées et pimentées. ⚔️ Bataille entre les 2 Hampden (great house) 2007 C<>H sélectionnés par The Duchess, le RX10462 (celui-ci) VS le RX10861. Pour le moment, je trouve ce fût #6 un peu plus doux, crémeux et fruité (plus de fruits tropicaux). Le fût #18 semble un poil plus vif et intense. Constat final, je préfère la structure de ce fût #6.
Review by alex
C’est juste magnifique, parfait 🤩🤩🤩 Plein pot d’esters, alcool parfaitement intégré, remplis de fruits et de caramel. Ce jus est vraiment top, à déguster absolument 😍😍😍 Je l’ai préféré à son jumeau duchess. J’ai juste corrigé la note
Review by Rare Akuma
Impeccably complex on the nose keeping the balance between fermented and medicinal notes. A one-way ticket straight to the jungles of Jamaica. Starting off with overripe banana, pineapple juice and berry mix (primarily currants). Raw honey with light vanilla and crème fraîche, evolving into leafy sugarcane, pimento, hay and lavender. Subsequently heavily “industrial”; nail polish remover and automotive notes: paintshop, hot glue and a hint of petrol. On the palate slightly less interesting than on the nose. The same profile continues, but some if not most of the automotive notes unfortunately get lost in overwhelming lemon juice and ash. The alcohol is also not perfectly integrated. All things considered this still is an excellent drop. Ends in a reasonable lengthy finish with pineapple juice, marzipan, cake frosting and esters.
Review by Galli33
Wow… what an incredible rum! 🤤 This one really knocked me off my feet. Packed with esters, tropical fruits, a hint of glue, and that delicious marzipan note 🤤🤤🤤 All perfectly balanced with just the right ABV. I truly enjoyed every sip – this one’s definitely going on my Christmas list 😏😜
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
Very good intense and strong Jamaica. Just what the doctor ordered for fighting the first signs of a flue. Have to agree with reviewer who detected whiff of Mezcal smoke.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by Martin Švojgr
Velmi dobrý a jemný esterový Hampden. Alkohol skvěle integrovaný a to jsem si dal skleničku bez přípravy k snídani. Po chvilce se na jazyku rozlévá ostrost, je nutné pro vychutnání pít opravdu po kapkách. Vůně je úžasná plná esterů, banánů, marcipánu a ananasu.
