     Very tasty and extremely complex. Not an estery monster, rather a Hampden on the dignified side, which has benefited greatly from its time in the barrel. A successful selection - which doesn't surprise me in the slightest when you read who was allowed to make the selection here.

     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.

     Danke Jakob für die Spende an die Franconian Tasting Gang. Hat die Spezialisten komplett auf die Falsche Fährte geführt. Keiner konnte glauben, dass es ein Hampden OWH ist. Ich wenn ich es nicht gewusst hätte, wäre definitiv auch nicht drauf gekommen. Ein wirklich guter Rum.
