Crisp fruit, balanced sweetness, plus subtle green aromas that remind me of tea - very nice bottling.

Again, an excellent and classic Hampden from the 1992 vintage. A bit sweeter and also wilder than Ed. 4. Also more salt. I like the herbaceous, spicy note from the sister cask a tad better.

Initial nosing mostly reveals polish and wood notes. This evolves into pastries like lemon pie and banana bread. The pastry and overripe banana notes are also present on the taste alongside dark chocolate and some baking spices. Overall a very nice release.
