Very good, drinkable and balanced Low Ester Hampden. Blood orange peel and grapefruit. Overripe boiled down tropical fruits like papaya, passion fruit, banana. Sweet molasses, brown sugar and toffee. Over all hovers a heaviness of spice from the barrel, anise, malt and herbs. Very round in the mouth, heavy fruity and molasses sweetness. The heavy spice pushes right behind and dominates with anise, malt and wood from the barrel. In the mouth remain anise and quince Very good tropically matured Low Ester Hampden and for me now more significant than the High Ester range.
#4722 09.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few of my Endemic Birds Samples. Nose Balanced, wood, light roasted, fruity, pineapple, spice, light citrus, faint leather. Palate Balanced, light, round, wood, faint smoke, fruity, cinnamon, light vegetal, clove. Finish Medium to long, round, wood, light smoke, light berries, faint chocolate. The empty glass has a light medicinal note, apples and faint caramel.
Very pleasant, creamy Hampden without the typical pineapple/ester notes. Mango and some papaya on the palate. Excellent OWH! Gets even better with a drop of water.
Low-Ester aber trotzdem geil.
