The Whisky Jury – Ester Hunter 5 - Hampden C<>H 2018 – 64.3% Signed by The Whisky Jury, renowned for its sharp selections, this fifth opus in The Ester Hunter series puts the Hampden distillery in the spotlight. This 2018 C<>H, bottled at 64.3% cask strength, sets the tone and doesn't do things by halves. A continental Hampden this young at this strength could easily fall into the trap of astringency... but here, everything we love about Hampden is present: glue, varnish, nail polish remover, and above all, a veritable explosion of flavors. 🔸 Nose: coconut, pineapple, esters galore. 🔸 Palate: a wave of esters, ripe tropical fruits, marked but controlled woodiness. 🔸 Finish: surprisingly long for such a young rum, with notes of tobacco. A very nice one, much more convincing in my opinion than batch 2 (Savanna/Hampden blend), which I found disappointing at Spa.
Auto-translatedEncore une très belle sortie de TWJ avec ce 3 eme opus en Hampden que je déguste sur la série Hunter. Pour moi le meilleur des 3 d’ailleurs (j’avais mis 8,9 et 7 au 2 autres) Belle rondeur, un degré d’alcool élevé mais bien intégré, après aération bien sûr , des solvants de l’ananas, banane, un peu d’abricots du chocolat noir, du tabac… un bon cocktail explosif en bouche ❤️❤️❤️
Auto-translatedVery rare rum, by whisky jury. Nose: Bright aromas of pineapple, esters, glue, solvents, oak, polish, bergamot, aprico, banana. Little bit of cedar, Tonka been & roots, iodine. Palate: pineapple, glue, esters, coconut, acid, solvents, polish, hay. Sweet caramel candies, lot of fruits, citrus & oak. Aftertaste: long, dry, little bit spicy. Wow. Amazing rum ! Complex. Great balanced. Fantastic!
Everything you would expect from a good single cask Hampden, and remarkably flavorful for its young age. I find it very tasty! It is a bit sweet and, in my opinion, cannot quite measure up to 9+ Hampdens in terms of balance and expression; it's the balance or something, but it is also much more affordable. PLV/PQR is insanely good.
