Rum Artesanal Hampden 1993 29 years 63,5° : Description and customer reviews

Rum Artesanal Hampden 1993 is a 29-year-old Jamaican molasses rum bearing the JMC mark. Its ester content is very high, between 1300 and 1400 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol.

The rum was distilled in September 1993 in an iron still at the Hampden Estate distillery, well known for its highly aromatic "heavy rums". It then underwent a long period of maturation in oak barrels, only to be released in April 2022.

This cask number 261 was selected and bottled without reduction by independent bottler Rum Artesanal, based in Bad Bevensen, Germany. It produced 168 bottles for the market.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose is a thick, powerful honey, extremely aromatic and dense. The concentration of very ripe exotic fruits tinged with solvent is almost suffocating, so you feel the rich, tropical air in which this rum was born.

Aeration brings us something very creamy, gourmand and pastry-like, like a frangipane enriched with a heavily aromatic rum. From the start, a certain velvety impression doesn't leave us, and this is precisely where the great age of this rum seems to make the difference. Indeed, while the fruit and concentration are monumental, there's no hint of alcohol or aggressiveness to spoil the pleasure.

The palate is lively and warm on the attack, with a surprisingly acidic entry and a hint of freshly-fruited licorice reminiscent of English candy. This acidity continues with very (even too) ripe exotic fruit, which rubs shoulders with the freshness of green oak tannins. A little balm of vanilla and coconut milk then settles on the palate, allowing us to appreciate the velvety texture of mango and jackfruit.

The long finish is divided between the pastry-like flavors of grapes and pits on the one hand, and deep notes of olive and iodine on the other.

"A very mature, weathered, candied Hampden, with a monstrously concentrated nose and, in the end, a rather acidic palate..."
