Hampden Flensburg Rum Company Jamaica Single Cask Rum HLCF
Sipped neat it's a young Hampden HLCF wearing a sweet-wine finish: ester and glue up front, overripe tropical fruit, banana and cherry, with dark sherry-ish fruit layered on top. A few tasters found it works better in a Cuba Libre than in the glass. The 2-year age and hot alcohol show, and opinions split on whether the sherry helps or muddies the funk.
The community says- Ester funk
- Fruity Hampden character
- Hot, young alcohol

Young, hot Hampden with sweet-wine finish Divisive Hampden. Fans say the ester funk wins out over the sherry here versus its PX sister cask; critics find it young, hot and too sweet-wine forward.

Review by Alex1981
Deutlich weniger Sherry, dafür spielt Hampden seine Stärken aus. Gefällt mir besser als das Schwesterfass
Review by zabo
Edit: Ja, er hat immer noch die Nase vorne im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder aus dem anderen Fass. Auch im CubaLibre macht er sich besser meiner Meinung nach. Für den Preis sind beide schon sehr gut. Dieser liegt im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder einen Hauch vorne. Hier ist eher der leichte Esterfunk im Vordergrund als der Sherry. Denoch sind beide für den Preis mehr als in Ordnung.
Review by Oliver
Hampden Pagos in Jung. Deutlich weniger Sherry als sein Schwesterfass. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Ich geh mal gegen den Trend und fand das PX Fass besser. Nase fand ich etwas eindimensionaler und am Gaumen viel Schärfe. Das junge Alter war hier viel deutlicher erkennbar. Für Hampden Puristen wahrscheinlich eher passend. Ich würde das PX Finish nehmen.
Review by Jakob
Einerseits gefällig, andererseits sehr dominante Einschläge vom Süsswein-Fass. Am Gaumen recht adstringierend, fruchtig, erneut dunkle, schwere Früchte, die Komplexität bleibt dafür eher überschaubar. Schöner Rum, dem aber das gewisse Etwas abgeht.
Review by Vincent D
Ces jamaicains avec un finish Sherry ne sont définitivement pas pour moi. Ici, il est présent du nez à la finale. En arrière plan, on a un Hampden très fruité et funky. Le sherry amène du sucre et une amertume pas des plus agréables à mon sens. Ça reste bon.
Review by DomM
Finish/aging is very dominat on the nose and palate, but works better (more balanced) than the PX version.
Review by Serge
Zwar nicht ganz mein Geschmack, aber deutlich besser als die PX Schwesterabfüllung. Zwar immer noch (zu sehr) Sherry forward aber dafür nicht ganz so süß und stimmiger.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Taugt mir eher nicht so. Säuerlich, süß und viel Klebstoff und zu Alkoholisch. Der PX ist hier deutlich harmonischer.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Messebwertung Brennt, fusel, nix markantes. Keine Fehlnoten, aber auch kein Wiedererkennungswert. Dazu Alkohol schlecht integriert.
