On a par with the two 10-year-old casks. Super quality
I think they are simply delicious. Especially the buttery and beautiful yogurt-cherry flavor is amazing. Reminiscent of a yogurt ice cream with Amarena cherries. One of my Hampden favorites even though it's continental. Basically different but also really good. Super bottling!!!
Crosstasting C◇H 1st Kill Devil 2. FRC C◇H 3. the Duchess 4. TBRC Frankenstein 5. the Whisky Jury All in all, a surprising result that I would never have guessed before. It's a shame that this bottling is no longer available at a decent price.
