CoR Hampden High Ester Rum Oloroso (catawiki) C<>H 2023
Loved by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰, Skyfly & 5 more
For experienced palates, this high-ester Hampden at 62.3% leans into oloroso sherry: dark fruits, cherry, nuts and dry spice over the classic funky base. Best neat in small pours or with a few drops of water. Backed by 15 RumX reviews, it’s praised as a powerful, sherry-driven twist on Hampden.

Review by Skyfly
Big Hampden 8 Marks Collection x CoR C<>H Cross Tasting: Sherry aromas again clearly perceptible, but weaker than in the 24086. Alcohol better integrated than in the other bottlings of the series.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Quite heavy and deep. Strong cask influence. Esters are in the background. Fruity. Cherry. Young wood. Taste: Thick,heavy body with cask influence. Esters in the background. Then it goes deeper on the dark fruits notes, raisin. The high abv is present but integrated. Finish: Medium-long finish. Nutty, fruity notes. Dry. This rum really showcases the heavy sherrycask influence on the rum. The quality is good, but it is pretty one dimentional.
Review by Johannes
Oloroso Finish schon gut wahrnehmbar. Aber der C<>H könnte etwas besser mit dem Finish vermählt sein.
