“In my opinion, the Long Pond is pushed into the background here. You can hardly recognize anything of the Long Pond. Even after some time in the glass, it is only faintly discernible. The 2014 Hampden is typical of the vintage as far as I can remember, but doesn't stand out either. Pleasant blend, but unfortunately nothing more”

“I was somehow not looking forward to this. With indie Blends i am somehow always doubtful. And here is a good example why. I really like the dominating Long Pond here. But it honestly feels as the Hampden ruined the show here a little bit. It stands next to each other and does not become a new third thing.”

“Almost only Long Pond on the nose. On the back of the mouth, however, esters from Hampden. You discover more with every sip. A great combination, simply a delicious rum. The bottle is an absolute recommendation to buy and I also love the bottle design.”
