How crazy is that, what arrives on the nose! Overripe mango, papaya, dried dates, marzipan, gingerbread, sweet potato, I also imagine some beet. All very concentrated and harmonious, thanks to 18 years of tropical maturation. The finish in a cognac cask also fits very well here. On the palate, cake and spice mix, barrel, slightly tart, long finish. Many thanks to Rod for the sample!
A superb selection of Plantation by Cuvée des Addicts. On the nose, it's an olfactory slap in the face. Jamaican funk hits hard with notes of esters, solvents, nail polish and glue, but is quickly overtaken by a basket of ripe exotic fruits (banana, pineapple, mango, papaya, sour cherry, lime, orange) that embalm the nostrils. Empyreumatic (smoky) and meaty (meaty) notes follow, with a hint of spice and hints of umami, olive and wood. Subtle notes of marzipan add a touch of sweetness to this intense yet generous profile. The attack on the palate is succulent. Exotic fruit and citrus, olive, warm spices, wood and leather. As the tasting progresses, empyreumatic and smoked-meat notes make their return, along with a pleasant touch of saline and umami. Phenolic tannins and funk round off a very accomplished and structured Hampden, heterogeneous but in control of its subject. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish stretches endlessly between fruit, smoke, wood, salt, spice and phenolics, with a hint of caramel. The finish is almost chewy. A top-class Hampden, complete, balanced and delicious. The quality/price ratio of this cuvée was insane when it came out, so it's a pity it's a victim of its own success.
Une magnifique sélection ! Un peu dur à l’ouverture, il devient très rond avec du temps, un Hampden qui a beaucoup à offrir et qui sort du profil « typique » jamaïcain. Le côté solvant est bien fondu et laisse place à des fruits tropicaux et un côté « frangipane » très agréable. Super longueur
Ein richtig guter Hampden, sehr harmonisch und leicht zu genießen! Davon gerne mehr! Re-Tasting bei Dr. Django: Der Hampden ist wunderbar ausgewogen und sehr komplex. Der ABV ist in perfekter Trinkstärke. Ich setze ihn um 0,1 Phnkte höher. Die 9 hat er absolut verdient
