Review by Mirco
Intense Hampden with a powerful ester profile. On the nose, fermented fruits, pineapple, glue, and citrus zest, accompanied by a light herbal spice. On the palate, explosive with sweet fruit, vanilla, and spicy wood; the alcohol brings a good punch but stays well integrated. The finish is long, warm, and slightly salty, with the typical funk note. A characterful Hampden that clearly reflects the distillery and brings a lot of energy to the glass.
Review by Thunderbird
Another of the many 2014 <>H releases. But this time one that can largely hold its own against the others. Both the nose and the palate are classic and easy to enjoy despite the rather high ABV. However, only after a while in the glass and subtle sips 😉. I think it's great
Review by zabo
Wow, congratulations Stefan, great cask selected. I don't have a direct comparison to other bottlings of this vintage at the moment, but from memory, this one is easily in the upper range. Thanks again Stefan for putting it on the site for me before the official release and sending it so that I could split it for the 🐏🐏. 🙏
Review by SaibotZtar
Very good <>H . Delicious fruit marzipan nose ... Alcohol well integrated. On the palate lots of fruit esters and again marzipan ... Pineapple papaya and a velvety butteriness in the mouth . Really strong in Mai Tai.
Review by Dr.Django
Another great Hampden. There's no surprise in the tasting here, but there is an excellent Jamaica-funky Hampden. The alcohol is well integrated. I'll probably have to keep a bottle of this in the house. Thanks for the sample @Zabo
Review by Serge
Can only agree: Good 2014 <>H! Fat, warm nose with fruit, esters, wood, spice and varnish with solvents. In the mouth then also great in texture, flavors (lots of baking spice) and ABV integration. One of the better ones 👌
Review by Galli33
In my Hampden <>H 2014 tasting today, this one took the first place together with Nobilis <>H. In direct comparsion I can‘t find any (big) difference to crown a clear winner. The alcohol is integrated very well.
Review by mto75
Today 2x 2014 <>H in the glass: the GRF Nobilis 68.5%, 10-year-old (3 tropical), the FRC 67.3%, 9-year-old (5 tropical). The differences on the nose are really small. Both with fermented fruit, cake / baking mix, cream. The FRC is perhaps a little rounder. But that could also be due to the slightly lower ABV. On the palate, both with citrus marmalade, spiciness, toasted barrel, brine. I like the FRC a little better here too, somehow rounder.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:On the nose, the esters are strong, the first impression we get is a very balanced and round rum with overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, red fruits, dried fruits like raisins, prunes.The wood is roasted, charred with gourmet caramel, nougat, marzipan, vanilla. The solvents are well tamed. As we air the rum, the molasses is vegetal, balsamic, we could also notice very tempting confectionery...This notes are nicely integrated with tropical fruits and woody notes... 9:On the palate, the attack is tasty and delicious with creamy charred wood notes, overripe tropical fruits and dried fruits.The alcohol integration is great, like drinking liquer.The molasses is strong, but nicely paired with woody, fruity notes, it brings vegetal, herbal touch and some brine, licorice. The rum quickly becomes dry, but stays buttery, as our tasting buds are swimming in delicious confectionery with juicy marmelade, covered with creamy toffe caramel, vanilla.😋 9,1:The finish is also tasty and balanced, with all kinds of overripe fruits, charred wood and earthy cigar.
Review by Timo Groeger
Einer der letzten Rums die ich noch von Eugen habe, hoffe es geht ihm gut. Typisches Hampden Profil, (überreife) tropische Früchte wie Ananas und Banane, außerdem reichlich Ester am Gaumen. Starkes Teil, besser als alle anderen von gestern :)
Review by Oliver
Really great Hampden! Very inviting nose and meets all the associations you would expect: Pineapple, esters, tropical fruits, glue, nice spice and lots of marzipan. Top bottling!

Sehr sehr süffiger Hampden! Alkohol unfassbar gut integriert. Bringt alles mit was ein Hampden braucht. Marzipan, tropische Ananas, Salz Karamell, brioche Gebäck wie Croissants und schöne röstnoten im Abgang. Toll!
Review by Basti
Zugegebener Maßen sind sich die 2013/2014er HDs schon alle recht ähnlich, aber der FRC gehört für mich zu den besseren Abfüllungen. Wirkt verhältnismäßig rund und ausgewogen, bringt aber dennoch das typische high Ester Profil mit. Alkohol ist hier sehr gut eingebunden.
Review by Schnubbii
Dieser <>H kommt an der Nase ausgesprochen buttrig daher. Am Gaumen dann toll fruchtig und ausgewogen. Wow, da hat Stefan wieder etwas Tolles ausgewählt! Für mich persönlich von den <>H, die ich in letzter Zeit probieren konnte ganz oben mit dabei. Edit: Nochmal 0.1 Punkte mehr, ist einfach eine tolle Abfüllung und mit CoR und Nobilis in meinen persönlichen Top 3 <>H.
