To Hampden
"Not a bad rum though I would have loved to try this one riped in a barrel. Fruity with nice esters."
"Dégustation des 8 marks Hampden et regoûté un an après avec une meilleure note. La dégustation est très proche de celle de l’année passée. Le nez est plein de fruits trop mûrs, légère volatile, mais pas de solvants. La bouche est pointue, complexe avec toujours des fruits sur-mûrs. L’alcool n’est pas si bien intégré. La finale est un peu plus longue, sur l’umami les fruits et un léger champignon. On pourrait penser à un Whisky écossais en sentant le verre vide. Troublant."
"Tastes almost like rum again. Hampden not yet recognizable."
"All in all, an exciting tasting. Some of them were surprisingly delicious and tasty. The ever-popular distillery in a different light. Trying the basic product in this form has its appeal. The maturation through storage is a different matter. My platform: HLCF > HGML > C<>H Clear low-light: LROK"
