The Nectar Hampden The Nectar Of The Daily Drams OWH 2012

This one was disappointing. No Jamaican funk like you normally find in a Hampden.

Alkohol nicht gut integriert. Schöne Nase, aber im Mund dann alkoholische Fehlnoten. Abschließend kein starker Rum. Vielleicht als Cocktail Mixer gerignet, dafür aber natürlich sehr teuer.

What's going on here? Even though OWH does not promise a high ester, there is hardly anything recognizable of the classic Hampden here - smoke that evokes associations of a whiskey finish, plus vegetal notes, hidden tropical fruits and some syrupy, heavy sweetness. On a positive note, the alcohol is excellently integrated. Nevertheless, I can do with the flavor mixture offered here times so nothing.

Nase finde ich ehrlich gesagt gar nicht so schlecht – am Gaumen dann eher enttäuschend. Hat mich auf jeden Fall gefreut, da es mein erster OWH Single Mark ist, den ich verkoste. Nase knapp unter 8 und Gaumen eher knapp unter 7. Also alles in Allem aber noch ein guter Rum …

Gateway rum for serious whisky drinkers in my personal experience. Not what you would expect from a Hampden as a rum nerd, but you have to consider that it’s OWH and in that regard no ester-y fruit bomb. If you give it an honest chance, you might find that it’s not too bad after all.

Strange! The rum must clearly have been in a whiskey barrel. Strangely, I read nothing about a finish.

Unspectacular. Could be an OWH, who expects Hampden and Ester is wrong here. Something different than the fruit basket full of funk that you usually get from Hampden. A bit sharp on the nose, but otherwise quite varied. However, I expected more, is also not cheap. Nevertheless, not a bad bottling.

... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"

Recognizable Low Ester Hampden. The nose was initially very pungent and a bit harsh but gets better. On the palate an easy sipper. Alcohol, as often described, very well integrated. I find it ok. Can be drunk well. However, I like my LFCH much better. Edit: When poured a second time, it falls off again somewhat. Especially in direct comparison.

Rhum qui ressemble fort à un whisky avec pas mal de notes fumées/tourbées. On retrouve un petit fond de fruits murs jamaicains au nez et dans la longueur mais à l'attaque cela est Trio couverts par les notes tourbées même si elles sont pas désagréables. Je retrouve des notes de cuberdon que je retrouve souvent sur des whiskies

Nice Jamaican nose with all the freshness and citrus notes with some esther background. Taste a bit heavy and bold but with nice notes.

Hutny vzorek, spousta ovoce, cerny caj, na me az mozns moc vyrazny

A nice drink, but not a regular hampden. I guess it's aged in a ex-smokey whisky cask, since there's a definite smoke, that resembles and end if a cigar, with maybe a tiny bit rum feel to it.

Nez un peu fruité avec des notes de fruits séchés, et de solvants. En bouche c’est sec, amer, avec des notes de tabac, une amertume renforcé avec des notes de chocolat noir. Petite longueur, ça manque de rondeur et de gourmandise, c’est trop minéral.
