    Good, very balanced, creamy Hampden, but a little too bacony and woody for me personally... At the very end, something creamy like mango lassi comes through, but at the same time also cumin and salt, smoke and too much acidity, so unfortunately not at a top level. Compared to other 90s, 92s or 93s Hampdens, it can't quite keep up and is a little too toasty and one-dimensional.

    Give. Me. Ester. This is what a Hampden must taste like. Compared to the Nobilis 1992 HLCF a bit rounder and better integrated alcohol (almost perfect).

    Un nez avec comme de la fermentation lactique, des épices, puis de l’ananas trop mûr, des esters et du boisé légèrement fumé. Un côté after shave (et non ce n’est pas mes mains). L’entrée de bouche est douce, crémeuse, puis un piquant agréable de type piment d’Espelette accompagné par les fruits, puis le boisé fumé envahit le palais. La finale est moyenne en durée sur le piment et le boisé/fumé avec des agrumes (pamplemousse) tout à la fin. Un beau rhum, plutôt sur l’expressivité que sur l’équilibre et pourtant tout est bon ici. Ce qui reste en bouche longtemps après est juste délicieux !

    Update after blind tasting yesterday. Further a class rum. Have on the palate now still yogurt and marzipan made out. The fun but of course according to the age he lets it go a little quieter. But that's exactly what you want here.what ne nose, the full Jamaica dröhnung. on the palate then clearly more wood. but incredibly complex and funky, the alcohol in addition prima integrated. Finish warm and long.
