Wow, la claque ! Esters évidemment présents mais surtout une belle colle, très agréable. Elle reste bien présente à 50/50 avec les fruits, notamment goyave et mangue. Finale très longue, alcool bien intégré… rien à redire. Bouteille achetée :D
Really good bottling from Swell . Nose : Marzipan, annas, mango banana and strong esters (solvent glue etc) Great buttery notes. Slight woody notes Palate Also here great fruity with strong ester ...slightly buttery and some marzipan. What I particularly like: hardly any bitter notes. In May Tai 4/5 and therefore very good 😎
A delicious bottling. The esters and notes of glue are already screaming on the nose. Not quite typical on the palate: an astonishing amount of marzipan, plus grapefruit, lemon and herbal notes. It even becomes slightly salty and fruity-bitter towards the finish. A not entirely typical high-ester Hampden and a great cask selection from Swell.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 What a bomb!!! A really great Hampden from Swell. I am absolutely thrilled. A real fruit bomb with the typical, but here rather in the background, ester notes. A little wood, alcohol perfectly integrated. Thinking about canceling the split and keeping both bottles 😉🫠. Guys, be happy. A 2007 C<>H that I would love to try as a tropical maturation, but apparently it doesn't exist.
