"Quite restrained, but pleasant nose. Crazy combination of smoky bacon and green apple. Nice spice and creaminess on the palate. Great Hampden!"
"Basically a solid Hampden LROK. As Oliver has already analyzed, I also smell and sniff bacon. Which I've never had with Hampden, I don't know if it's my imagination. It's a little too sour for me, otherwise I would probably have given it a better rating."
"22.04..2019 Enjoying some samples at home. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, light pineapple, honey, light anise, light caramel, fresh. Palate Round, light wood, pineapple, light mango, anise, light caramel, spice, faint vegetal, light floral. Finish Medium to long, fresh, light wood, mango, light caramel, anise, faint chocolate."
"Fried bacon, green apple, olive brine, Haribo pineapple and brioche with marzipan in liquid? Something about the DOK? It's crazy but you have to be up for it!"
