    Ох, 35 лет в бочке и мы все равно здорово ощущаем эти невероятные эфиры Ямайки. Невероятно токсичный коктейль тропических фруктов. Яркий южноамериканский кофе с характерной кислинкой. Какао высокого качества. Бочка. Бочки очень много, но она растворилась в этом коктейле. Соленые оливки, кислые оливки с вялеными томатами в оливковом масле. Остановите землю я сойду! Во вкусе космические тропики! Это невозможно успеть разобрать на составляющие. Кисло-сладко-солено-вязко. Ппц как ох….но Послевкусие продолжительное. Здесь все стадии жизни тропических фруктов…от цветка до подгнившего плода. 100!

    A very nice drop not afflicted by the long aging. Very well balanced and complex.

    Hampden, HGML, 35 Jahre. Das alles verspricht einzeln eine Menge Spaß, zusammen ergibt es eine Bombenkombi. Trotz 35 Jahren im Fass dominieren hier Früchte und zwar nicht einzelne, sondern ein ganzer Korb davon. Selbstverständlich hat das Holz auch seine Spuren hinterlassen, die Aromen und bitteren Töne sind jedoch sehr harmonisch ins Destillat eingebunden und verstärken die Komplexität, statt zu stören. Dieser Rum macht schon beim eingießen Spaß, spielt die volle Klaviatur auf der Zunge und bleibt noch lange präsent, wie man dies von Hampden gewohnt ist.

    Excellent Hampden with impressive key data.
