Nose: Bull's eye. Delightful fruity aromas of tropical fruits like mango and banana paired with esters and spice. Palate: This is joined by chocolate and lacquer aromas over time. The spice comes to the fore, the fruit recedes. Finish: Spice and vanilla. Not as complex as many older Hampdens, but a real value for money tip that scores for me especially on the nose.
No typical estery notes, but palatable and round.
Everything you expect from a continentally aged Hampden, with a few more traits that could come from the years spent at the tropics. Tropical fruits, almost rotting, are dominating the scene along with esters. While drinking there is a nice pastry note, even if alcohol integration is not perfect and there is a bit of astringency. This is an hybrid between the two Hampden styles I am used to drink, but still pleasant to drink
Restrained but soldier rum through and through, balanced but without any notable intensity or outliers. Lots of fruit such as banana, lychee, citrus fruits. Buttery, faint spices and some wood. More grape and cherry on the finish.
