It is and remains a liquid legend. But I'll go down a point after tasting it again.
Mega horny, brutal Hampden! Reminds of the freshness / fruitiness almost to "New Yarmouth". Lots of olive on the palate. How about a dirty martini? 😜
Sau leckerer DOK, mehr auf der Oliven Salzlake Seite aber insgesamt einfach extrem harmonisch! Preis Leistung damals einfach der Hammer gewesen...
I expected a lot from this one but have to admit that I got a bit disappointed. It lacks the taste of the barrel, maturity and especially the complexity that Hampden is known for. The alcohol is very well integrated and it is a fruit bomb with nice acidity, but it's not a fantastic rum. Price does not match the quality.
