“Amazing flavors of powdered rouge and menthol, heavy vanilla and herbaceous, spice (with pepper, cinnamon… and baking spices). The dried fruits was fresh, uncooked or not even dry completely, with an aroma of olives and tea and unknown spices. woody, very complex. The complexity is the highest of the several, slightly higher than <>H, and is sufficiently open to not be closed at all. But the pleasure is a little bit lower. The smell-taste consistency, in addition to the intense tropical fruit notes, there are deep vanilla with tea and unknown plant/spice notes. The order of tropical fruits'presentation is slightly different from typical Hampden (HV, Continental Age, etc.). Overall, the flavors are complex and very layered, fulfilling my expectations of Hampden.”

“Solid fruity (rather berry) Hampden”

“Tried with its younger "brother" RX12021. In my eyes, the 2008 is clearly better. Price-wise, the nectar HJF is completely over the top anyway. 85 is my limit for the rating.”
