Wow, what a slap in the face! The esters are obviously present, but above all the glue is very nice and pleasant. It remains 50/50 with the fruit, notably guava and mango. Very long finish, well-integrated alcohol... nothing to complain about. Bottle purchased :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 😎
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 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.
Das ist ein Hampden wie ich ihn mag. Er erinnert mich stark an die 2007er Kill Devil-Abfüllungen. Dieser ist nur nicht ganz so brachial, obwohl auch er sehr kräftig daherkommt. Ein Einsteiger wäre vermutlich auch schon hier überfordert, ob der doch deutlichen Ester. Mir gefällt er sehr gut!
