Highly praised Hampden: bright esters, lots of tropical fruit, well‑integrated alcohol and a balanced profile that’s powerful yet surprisingly approachable for the <>H mark.

Profumo chiaramente riconoscibile, è un hampden a tutti gli effetti: frutta, colle, potenza aromatica. In bocca molto equilibrato vengono fuori spezie, vegetale e balsamico, sempre con il profilo hampden sullo sfondo. Il legno mi ha stupito, più tendente al legno verde, elegante e fresco. Questo rum ha però un enorme problema che non è risolvibile, ce ne sono poche bottiglie in giro.
A great Hampden, very well balanced! The mix of tropical and continental ageing gives both strength and elegance.
Un grande Hampden con invecchiamento in parte continentale. Naso ricco. Esteroso quanto basta e carico di frutta tropicale. Palato rotondo ed equilibrato. Finale deciso e abbastanza lungo. Un Hampden deciso, complesso ma che si lascia bere veramente tanto. Uno dei migliori Hampden assaggiati negli ultimi 18 mesi!
Wirklich ein schöner Hampden, in der Nase und am Gaumen kommt genau das an, was man von einem Hampden erwartet. Sehr ausbalancierte Frucht und Esternoten, und der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Preis ist für die Qualität e ht in Ordnung & das Design finde ich auch sehr ansprechend.
