    A high ester content is felt during the tasting, but I think it feels pleasant - an explosion of fruit flavor that lingers on the palate for a long time.

    A 2009 DOK, the legendary vintage with some really good bangers. Unfortunately, I have to admit that the Bristol bottlings can't keep up with the competition. Here, too, the rum seems a little thin to me, unfortunately.

    24.02.2023 Enjoying some samples at home with a good friend. Colour Light in colour. Nose Intense, faint wood, folvents, floral, fruity, overripe, light cherry, spice, faint mango. Palate Medium intense, balanced, round, light wood, light solvent, ginger, fruity, overripe, light banana, light floral. Finish Long and warm, balanced, fruits, light mango, light floral, light wood.

    The nose sums up everything we love about Hampden. The classic markers are well present with a perfect balance and without any mark of alcohol. Without surprise the mouth is not very powerful. A DOK all in delicacy what. We keep all the same the markers of the distillery. The finish is a bit short, slightly bitter and spicy. After having tasted it again I raise the note a bit because the nose is really fabulous and I found the mouth longer and less flat than the first time.
