"Third tasting and still really good, actually a bit better than last tasting. I like the rubber notes at the end. ————— Fourth tasting and bumping it again, really really good."

"Great Hampden with everything you could wish for. Lots of fermented tropical fruit. Strong estetic notes without being too overwhelming. But simply tasty. Good value for money. Clear recommendation to buy"

"Very good Hampden. Great balance between fruit/wood/spices. Not overly funky. Baked banana. Pineapple obviously. Not overripe but still on the fresh side. Pretty much flawless. Second try. Still love it."

"Nice Hampden. Nice toasty aromas. More ester than the hampden estate overproof and also drier in the finish."
