"I've had much better OWH in my glass... while the nose is still very harmonious with fruit, burnt sugar and a certain soft lightness, it loses its way on the palate. After a brief sweet intermezzo at the beginning, only wood, spice and roastiness dominate, with virtually no fruit at all. This is a little too one-sided for me"
"Un bon hampden low ester. Meilleur avec une pointe d'eau. ArÎmes boisés sur l'amande, fruits discrets."
"Im Vergleich heute, der Velier OWH 2018 RX17319 und der OWH von Rum Runner RX15797. Vom Geruch hat der Velier die Nase fĂŒr mich vorne. Wesentlich intensiver als der Rum Runner. Vom Geschmack liegt der Velier fĂŒr mich auch vorne. Als Fazit, beide sind gut, aber es gibt bessere."
"The nose starts very fruity, after a while the cask also comes into its own. Way down on the Hampden scale, but again amazingly intense! On the palate, unfortunately with a strong alcoholic spiciness but balanced between fruit and cask. Very good entry-level Hampden at cask strength."
