Swell de Spirits On Tour Series No. 7 (Toulouse Spirits Festival) 2024
One taster clocked it as a Hampden blind and couldn't believe how young it drinks. That's the story here: yellow and tropical fruit, grilled pineapple, banana, a bit of marzipan and butterscotch, with the esters dialed back from full Hampden roar. At 58.9% the alcohol sits well integrated, and a few drops of water push it sweeter and fruitier. Harmonious, if not the loudest funk bomb on the shelf.
The community says- Bright yellow fruit
- Alcohol integrated
- But: Milder esters

8,3:On the nose, esters bump into our nosetrils, fermented, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, vegetal touch with olive, roasted wood notes like marzipan and almonds, spicy, nail polish. On aeration, citrus fruits and apricots arise, some butterscotch and perhaps rubber. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is fruity with fermented tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, esters, solvents, the wood is roasted with sweet marzipan and butterscotch, almonds, spicy, when oxidized, salty and smoky.The molasses is vegetal, later herbaceous and flowery, variety of fruits reveal themselves like pear, apricot, melon, grapes and some citrus fruits. 8,4:The finish is rather long, dry, tannic, creamy with roasted wood notes like butterscotch, toffee, nuts, confectionery, spicy and salty, fruity with tons of different fruits.

A Caribbean blend that is rather on the mild side, more yellow fruits, maybe papaya...at least on the nose and palate. I only perceive esters fleetingly. On the palate, the fruit also recedes significantly ... in the finish, the spice predominates and a little bitterness at the very end. This bottling doesn't quite convince me
Review by mto75
High Ester blend Jamaica, Barbados, Belize, mind. 6 Jahre tropisch…an der Nase vergorene und kandierte, tropische Früchte. Belize eher im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen dann mehr auf der würzigen Seite, im Abgang eine Nougat-Süsse. Ich finde den blend gut gelungen, zumal er echt fair bepreist war (für die Festival-Teilnehmer).
Review by RumTaTa
Nase: kein Plan was das für ein Rum ist... Leicht, fruchtig, fein würzig aber nichts was ich irgendwie zuordnen kann. Gaumen: leicht, Obstler (Birne, Apfel), ein wenig Würze, ein wenig Fass. Sehr ausbalanciert, kein Extrem. Könnte ein Appleton sein. Alkohol knapp unter 60% schätze ich. Nachklang: unerwartet lang, bitter, wieder nix heraus stechendes. Guter Rum, aber gelingt mir nicht zuzuordnen. Auflösung: WAAAS!? Hampden!? Hätte ich nie gedacht!
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein wirklich leckerer Hampden. Wie sonst auch meistens haben wir hier tropische Früchte und Ester in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch viel Ester und auch natürlich wieder tropische Früchte. Banane und Ananas sind hervorzuheben.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Typische Hampden Noten: gelbe und tropische Früchte, gegrillte Ananas. Schöne Ester. Der Rum wirkt in sich sehr harmonisch, was doch auch mit Blick auf das vergleichsweise junge Alter überrascht. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden.
Review by Basti
Holt mich an der Nase nicht wirklich ab. Wirkt unausgewogen und mir fällt es schwer einzelne Notes rauszupicken. Am Gaumen etwas Lösungsmittel und Marzipan, aber leider auch etwas zu bitter und nichtssagend. Haut mich nicht vom Hocker.
Review by Christian Rudt
Schöne Aromen prägen diesen Blend und wennsn vorher einen reinen Hampden im Glas hatte merkt man schnell das hier auch andere Destillerien und oder Länder im Spiel sind. Traube im Geschmack - Melone am Ende. Ein erstaunlicher Blend und aufgrund dessen einer Festival Abfüllung würdig.
Review by alex
Une grosse impression de boire un armagnac , J’ai même relu l’étiquette pour être sûr 😂 C’est pas mal fait, ça se laisse boire, mais c’est pas le meilleur blend que j’ai bu Assez agréable en bouche, la longueur est moyenne. L’alcool est très bien intégré.
Review by Master P
Nase kommt ziemlich viel süße mit leicht gerösteten mandel aroma und gelbe früchte. Geschmack ist eher eindimensional, süß, karamellbonbon und etwas frucht. Abgang ist ok aber nicht besonderes. Wenn man auf tour geht kann man schon ein paar davon trinken 😅

#7225 27.08.2026 Enjoying a few rums while packing for the weekend trip to the German Rum Festival in Berlin. Listening to some new Psy Trance on Spotify at the same time. Nice rum with a good price tag in my mind. Fruity profile with ester, industrial notes, natural sweetness, marzipan. roasted wood and spices.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Holt mich nicht ab. Sehr bissig und ich hab Erinnerungen an Whisky
Review by F.L.O.
Einer meiner ersten swell, die ich vom Ranking weiter unten ansiedeln werde. Und das ist dann immer noch ne 7.9 oder 8.0. swell hat einfach ein hohes Niveau :-) Frucht ok, Alkohol gut eingebunden, Ester niedrig, Daily sipper, Jamaika light. 1-2 Jahre mehr hätten ihm noch gut getan.
Review by Nils123
Ich finde den Blend ganz gut gelungen. Wenig Ester, viel Frucht. Schön ist die lange (gelbe) Fruchtnote im Abgang. Mit Wasser wird er noch süßer, noch fruchtiger und es kommt leicht Toffee hinzu. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden.
Review by kondgab
The distinct character of Hampden is immediately recognizable from the nose. The alcohol is well-balanced, allowing the vibrant esters to shine alongside notes of yellow and tropical fruits. As the experience unfolds, a rich butterscotch note emerges in the finish, adding depth and complexity.
Review by zabo
Naja, so wirklich abgeholt hat mich diese Abfüllung an diesem epischen Abend nicht wirklich. Für mich ein bißchen unausgewogen. Machte auf mich eher den Eindruck, als ob man ein paar Sachen schnell zusammen geschüttet hat um wieder was auf den Merkt schmeißen zu können.
