Hampden Plantation Prestige Cellar Jamaica (Exclusive for the UK) 2001
Hampden hunters who want the loud stuff softened by real age — this is your bottle. Nail polish, glue and smoked bacon jump out first, then pineapple, overripe banana and marzipan fill in. At 58.6% it's powerful but drinks easy, with the alcohol well integrated. The finish turns dry and spicy; one taster found it "too sour in the end," most just call it a wild ride worth taking.

Aged Hampden funk: pineapple, glue, smoke Near-unanimous love for a technical, ester-driven Hampden — 24 years rounds off the wild edges. A couple find the dry, sour tail a step short of the hype.

April 25, 2026 — tasting at home. An incredible rum. The aroma already reveals a highly technical profile where you can find everything—from glue and bacon to pineapple. A very long, lingering finish. Definitely recommended.

Nice Hampden profile, but too sour in the end
Review by Tschusikowsky
Die tropische Reife ist beeindruckend. Viel rote Früchte, Nagellack und tropische und getrocknete Früchte. Dazu Holzeinfluss und kühl, trockene Noten von Pfefferminz und Cassis. Der modrige Ester Dunder ist sekundär auch bemerkbar. Im Mund schön voluminöse Ausbreitung. Die Ester kommen gut zur Geltung, etwas Säure und Trockenheit lassen die 813 g/hL AA erschmecken. insgesamt wirkt die lange Reife harmonisierend, es ist gleichwohl Kraft und Wildheit da. Die Fermentation hat hier sicher geholfen. Sehr süffig mit 58,6%. Das Bouqet wäre wohl mit etwas mehr Volumen noch kraftvoller, stört mich aber nicht im geringsten. Abgang ist trocken und sehr würzig, tropische Früchte rücken in den Hintergrund. Grundsätzlich mittellang, es gibt aber ein Geschmacksfilm im Gaumen und Hals der sehr lange bleibt. Je länger ich den Rum erkunde, umso beieindruckender finde ich ihn. Planteray einmal mehr mit einer tollen Abfüllung.
Review by Johannes
Incredibly good Hampden with amazing fruits like pineapple, peach, and apricot, little acidity, tropical cask influence. Alcohol is super well integrated. Pretty much perfect!
