To Hampden
"Tasting of the 8 Hampden Marks and re-tasting one year later. The tasting is very similar to that of last year. The chalky nose of the OWH has been erased, replaced by solvent and glue, with fruit - including fig - coming later. The palate is thinner than the OWH, but the solvents have almost disappeared and the fruit has taken over. It's longer, with lots of fruit. The empty glass is very fruity, like a tropical orchard, and the solvents reappear."
"This one has a nice nutty touch to the fruity notes. Lightly dry and has a lovely nose in the empty glass."
"Unidentifiable alcoholic distillate. Smells like the mix you refused from your best buddy at a party when you were 16 and then ended up drinking anyway, only to throw up 2 hours later."
"… der zweite der 8-Marks-Collection. Nase: wie der OWH ist Spülmittel dominierend. Ebenso hat er für mich eine angenehme Kischjoghurt-Note. Hinzu kommen wieder Limette und Organe. Hinzu kommt noch säuerlicher, grüner Apfel. Insgesamt auf der fruchtigen Seite. Ester sind trotz der 4 Tage Fermentation nicht wirklich zu vernehmen, am ehesten in der buttrigem Joghurt-Note. Gaumen: kommt recht cremig-süßlich-würzig. Der Kardamom-Geschmack ist etwas intensiver als beim OWH, wird aber von Süßholz begleitet. Etwas fette Nuss mischt sich hinzu. An Frucht finde ich Kirsche. Hinten Wetter er etwas seifig. Hampden erkenne ich kaum, Ester sind nicht herauszuschmecken, ist aber erstaunlich aromatisch."
