“I prefer the Pagos 2023 over the last years edition. This has more „Hampden“ power and the Sherry barrel is integrated much better (due the change of the barrels… maybe?) and the sherry stays more in the background like a faithful campanion and fit perfect with the Hampden flavours. Grilled pineapple meets sour cherries overwhelmed by esters 🤤🥃 The alcohol is very present, i would say typical for a young Hampden.”

“Significantly better than its predecessor. Less barrel influence and simply more Hampden. I quite like it. The typical HD markers (annas, papaya mango) are relatively well received here. Despite the reduced alcohol content, it is not optimally integrated. Quite solid in the fast Mai Tai, although not a highlight.”

“Edit again: Tried it again today as CubaLibre, where it doesn't work at all because of the sherry note. Here it comes into its own once again. Therefore corrected downwards Franconian Tasting Gang Tasted again. Definitely tastes better to me than its predecessor. The sherry influence is much less here, which makes it more pleasant for me to drink. From the first impression, less sherry influence than its predecessor. With the 52% a super easy sipper at a good price. But I will taste it again in more detail at my leisure.”
