    Leckerer und süffiger neuer MJH3 bzw. OWH Low Ester Hampden von Bellamy's. Alkohol gut integriert, schöne Fruchtnoten (Ananas, Papaya & Honigmelone), dazu geröstete Mandeln und Kokosmakronen Gebäck, sowie Limettenschale und Saft und dadurch eine angenehme Säure im Abgang. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz aber es ist eben auch eher ein entspannter Low Ester Hampden! Tolles PLV meiner Meinung nach und für mich bis dato einer der besten OWHs am Markt.

    Solider Jamaikaner mit mehr Frucht und Aromen, als man von einem OWH erwarten würde. Da hab ich deutlich schlechtere für mehr Geld probiert. Fruchtige Nase mit viel tropischen Früchten (Ananas, Banane, Kokos), Rosine, Toffee, Holz … am Gaumen auch etwas Limette und Papaya. Gaumen etwas kantiger als die Nase, aber immer noch im Rahmen und mit einer leicht cremigen Textur.

    Messebewertung - Hanse Spirit

    Ein spannender OWH Hampden ohne die typischen vergorene Früchte , die die esterhaltigeren Marque auszeichnen. Ausgewogen, entspannt und mit einem guten Preis-Genuss-Verhältnis. Nur der etwas kurze Abgang verhindert eine höhere Punktzahl.
