Corman Collins Hampden Jamaican Rum <>H 2001
The surprise here is spice: alongside the expected Hampden glue, solvent and burnt pineapple, tasters kept finding baking spices, gingerbread and pepper. One French reviewer even got baklava with almonds and honey on the nose. Banana, overripe fruit and varnish all show up, but the palate turns dry and woody with a coffee-grounds finish. A recognizable Hampden that behaves a little differently.

- Unexpected baking spice

Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Spice-driven, dry Hampden with glue and banana Loved by funk fans for its glue-and-ester nose plus unusual spice and gingerbread notes. A couple felt the palate lacked richness, staying dry and woody rather than gourmand.

Review by Lukas Jäger
Clearly Hampden and yet atypical! While the rum does not disguise its origin at all and clearly screams "Hampden" with distinct glue and burnt pineapple aromas, it surprises above all with strong spicy notes. The comparatively faint nose is reminiscent of gingerbread (stomach bread from the fairground stall!) and then floods the palate with baking spices and bitter, woody notes that linger long, leaving a dry mouthfeel reminiscent of coffee grounds. Those who can taste it should do so. Exciting!
Review by Nicolas Sicilia
Le nez est plein de fruit et d’ester. L’alcool ne se sent pas du tout! Très agréable En bouche les 60 degrés se font plus sentir donnant le kick qui va très bien ! Un côté tabac vient s’ajouter au fruit mûr et à la colle ! J’aime beaucoup ! Un Hampden avec un truc différent
Review by ccajerem
👃: 1er nez très pâtissier façon baba au rhum. 10 mins après l'avoir servi le nez évolue : légères notes de colle, solvant, la banane flambée et l'ananas rôti cohabitent avec l'olive verte façon tapenade. Légère note de poivre et de caramel brûlé 👄 : le poivre titille les papilles accompagné d'une note de bois humide puis le solvant apparaît brièvement pour laisser place aux fruits maturés avec des notes flambées et toastées. Ensuite pendant quelques secondes la bouche est anesthésiée puis le poivre réapparaît et s'éclipse très progressivement pour laisser place a l'olive verte et enfin la cassonade en finale. La longueur est dans la moyenne haute. En résumé il se passe beaucoup de choses lorsque l'on déguste ce Corman Collins. Un excellent Hampden, pas le + structuré mais complexe
Review by Vincent D
Hampden, dans tout ce que cette distillerie sait faire de mieux. Des fruits très mûrs, des esters à gogo, du vernis. Le tout enrobé par un boisé présent juste comme il faut. En bouche, c'est gourmand et funky à souhait. Piquant juste ce qu'il faut. J'aurais aimé garder cette sensation plus longtemps encore. Édit : 1ere impression confirmée. Top rhum

#4278 02.10.2023 At time of release this bottle had a good price compared to what you got. Today the bottle is pretty expensive. A nice well rounded and fruity Hampden. Nice glue and esters in the profile. The palate is oily and there is a nice touch of anise. The finish is long and warm with some grass. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some light notes of polish and very faint smoke.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est dédié à ceux qui aiment les notes caractéristiques et envoutantes des High Esters (vernis-solvants). Le Baklava est dans le nez avec ses amandes, son miel … et fruité sur la banane, orange, ananas. Le nez est assez dingue. En bouche on a des notes de solvants, de vernis, d’épices de fruits sur mûris. Du High Ester Jamaïcain en soit ! Mais il manque clairement de gourmandise. On a une belle longueur en bouche sur les épices et le cuir. Un peu déçu par le manque de plaisir en bouche de ce <>H car je me remémore en parlant de <>H du Warren Khong de Velier dont la bouche est du TNT ultra bien intégré et gourmand.
