Rum Exchange Hampden #001 2013
Hampden fans hunting something off the usual path will find this the most interesting: a 5-year Trelawny pot-still at a punchy 61.5%. Expect dried fruit, sherry, vanilla and leather with plenty of ester funk. Not everyone's happy — one taster caught "old damp cellar" on the nose, another a stray onion note. A splash of water tames the rough edges nicely.
The community says- Ester-driven funk
- Long spicy finish
- Musty nose

Funky, sherried young Hampden at full strength Divides drinkers: some find it a spicy, sherried Hampden with a long finish, others say the funk and odd cellar notes just aren't for them. Water helps.

Most helpful positive review
Quite interesting scent, hints of vanilla and dried fruit. In mouth it's sherry, vanilla, oak, brandy, a bit of sweetness and marzipan. A quite long finish with a taste of oak, vanilla and caramel. Good rum for the low age.

Dark, spicy and creamy. The finish gives the Hampden depth and is reminiscent of a Pagos. The alcohol is not ideally integrated, therefore slight deductions. Otherwise exciting bottling!
Review by Joël
Riecht für mich in der Nase nach altem feuchten Keller, nicht so meins. Im Abgang tritt ein Geschmack hervor den ich leider nicht zuordnen kann, passt mir aber gar nicht. Gefällt mir mittlerweile aber besser als noch beim ersten Mal trinken.
Review by Frank
Süßlich, holzig... kurz am Ende - total schräg - hab ich ein Hauch von Zwiebel?!
Review by Lot-NAS
Adding water helps a lot to add some depth on the palate and push back the slightly off putting foul notes in the nose.
Review by Dave Dahlgren
Fan straight rocket fuel nästan med en hel del funk o rätt mycket estrar o torkad frukt o lite sötma
Review by Thomas
Finde den eigentlich sehr gelungen. All die selbsternannten Nerds hier mit den 70er Bewertungen sollten die Bewertungslatte nicht immer auf Hampdenebene hieven. Preislich interessant mit schönem Abgang und viel Jamaica 🇯🇲.

Dřevo, kůže, ovoce, celkově nic pro mě.

Read full review →It is in terms of flavour profile for me - a little to intense for that. The odd glass though is really nice and I have thoroughly enjoyed trying this. If you are a Hampden or Jamaican rum fan looking for something a little different then I would highly recommend...
