„initially a strange note, which I locate somewhere between fennel and alkali. But this fortunately dissipates quite quickly. Then come the usual HLCF notes like fermented fruit, citrus jam, pineapple, pastry. On the palate, citrus, barrel and a salty finish. Overall decent, but it is also already missing a good bit to the excellent 92s HLCFs of Nobilis or RumClub (Ed. 18).“

„After a long time times again in the glass.... I had to lower it a bit from my rating. It is a great release out of question....“

„A Hampden a little too floral and grapefruit for my taste. It's still good but not top notch.“

„One of the most prominent features for me was the taste of a candy called atomic fireball - quite a bit of cinnamon.“

„very fruity and balanced on the nose. On the palate the wood dominates the fruits, very dry and a bit saulty. A very smooth hint of esters on both palate and nose.“
