“Very fresh and funky even slightly grassy, fruit and HD genes all there. Personally, almost too young at least pure ... Am curious what he delivers in May Tai.”

“I had expected more. A young Hampden, in which the tropical maturation does not come through, the alcohol is well integrated, but overall unfortunately rather watery.”
