Review by Adrian Wahl
Beautiful classic profile as you would expect from the HD 2001 <>H. Solid representative without standing out. Also delivers Tai in May.
Review by Vincent D
A very pretty Hampden that gives pride of place to ripe fruit. Esters are present. Nice woodiness. Varnish too, but discreet. A hint of vanilla. Acidity on the palate. A spiciness that grabs the tongue before wood and then ripe fruit take over. The varnish is back. The finish is initially woody. Then pineapple and banana take over, before giving way to a slight bitterness. Very pleasant. Complex and evolving.

Review by Mentalo
Solider 2001er Hampden. Ananas, Ester, etwas Holz, Marzipan. Der macht jetzt auch nicht viel falsch. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Der größte Kritikpunkt für mich der Abgang. Der war erstaunlich kurz.
Review by Stefan L
Todays competition lowers it a bit and I probably would rate it higher if it where a higher ABV too, but still really good.
Review by TheJackDrop
Je ne me souviens pas ou j'ai eu ce sample, quel dommage ! Le nez n'est pas des plus expressifs c'est un Hampden, avec des esters mais pas si forts. En bouche c'est l'explosion de saveurs, avec des fruits, du tabac, un bon boisé, une petite astringence, du chocolat noir, des noisettes grillées.. bref, on retrouve de tout, avec une forte concentration. Finalement plus boisée un peu moins fruitée. Super expérience.
Review by Lukas Jäger
A very good and typical Hampden, which hits in with a lot of ester. Varnish spreads in the mouth and leaves it very dry.Good Hampden, but not the best I have drunk so far.

Schönes klassisches Hampden-Profil, jedoch kein Spitzenvertreter seiner Art.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"This rum has a surprising amount of balance to it and its been really well looked after. It’s probably about mid tier in terms of esters but it carries enough of the funk and hogo to make this unmistakably Pot Still Jamaican Rum. It has a really good balance to..."Read full review →
