Hampden LROK 2021 – The Nectar – 63% Un Hampden vieilli 4 ans dans un fût expérimental ex-sherry de la maison Fundador, mark LROK, sélectionné par The Nectar et embouteillé à 63%. Dès le nez, pas de doute : on est bien sur un vieillissement en fût de sherry. La trame Hampden reste très discrète, presque effacée. Profil atypique et déconcertant : truffe, amertume vineuse, bois humide, caoutchouc... Un embouteillage vraiment particulier, qui ressemble davantage à une expérience, mais pas franchement réussie à mon goût. Une grosse déception pour cette sélection The Nectar ! À moins qu’il ne lui faille un peu d’oxydation pour se révéler ?
Love it or hate it, there is nothing in between. Sure the nose immediately show the casktyp and we all know, it’s not the most beloved one in the rumworld, but wait how it’s developing in open bottles. This juice needs time and oxidation.
Ich verstehe einfach nicht wie man einen Hampden so versauen kann. Das Sherryfass übertönt alles, sodass Sherry, Rotwein und Holz alles bestimmen. Etwas Orangenschale und modriges gesellen sich dazu - vom LROK schmeckt man nichts
Tasted at SITS ‘25. The nose immediately reveals the cask type. Notes of dried dates, peppers, salty seabreeze and walnut skins. It smells very sweet, almost syrupy with fermented fruit sugars. Otherwise very bitter and musty, and all round screaming fortified wine more than anything. The HD underneath releases light hints of unripe banana and a strange off-putting yeast and rancid meat note. On the palate again dried fruits, oily citrus and an obscene amount of wine and walnut bitterness. More strange hints of minced meat left out in the sun, burnt wet wood and plastics. Unfortunately even more prominent than on the nose. The finish is much too dominant, astringend and leaves a long lingering taste of cured and rancid meats. Perhaps this is just not my cup of tea, or perhaps I just don’t ‘get it’, but for me this classifies as an experiment gone too far, a faulty product that should not have been bottled. It’s interesting in a way, just like the NRJ TECA ‘03, but done much worse.
