    80% OWH 2012 20% <>H 2016 In direct comparison with '20, '21 and '22: least intense on the nose, more marzipan, brightest together with 21, a bit more tart and powerful than the others on the palate. Quite smooth and restrained on the nose, seems fresh and vinegar at the same time. Clearly solvent and some ester, citrus, perhaps lemon or yet tangerine? A slightly sweet marzipan note mixes in. Sourly fruity with pineapple. A bit woody with vanilla. On the palate it comes across sour-salty-bitter at first, yet seems a bit creamy. Hampden esters towards glue are also found now. Citrus in the direction of grapefruit and again marzipan. At the back, some anise is added. In the finish to the anise, orange peel and green tea. A very pleasant blend.

    I think the bottling lives a little from the price and the limited availability these days. The GH 20 simply tasted better to me neat. But it's brutally cool to have gotten a sample through Rod. 85/100

    Super relaxed Hampden. Balanced and simply delicious!

    The original Hampden Great House that gave this range its letters of nobility. The nose opens with a profusion of esters and powerful notes of glue, solvents and varnish, as well as a heavy dose of tropical fruit and overripe citrus. This is followed by a pastry touch of marzipan, candied fruit, vanilla and a hint of wood from the barrel. A very pleasant, easy-drinking blend. The attack on the palate takes the funk up a notch, with medicinal notes and flavors of cherry and advanced fermentation. It's fat and opulent on the palate. Despite its power, the juice retains its roundness and mellowness on the palate, making it very drinkable and accessible. The alcohol is also very well integrated. The finish is very long, with lots of citrus, tropical fruit and strong astringency. Wood and spice come to the fore, invigorating what was intended to be a fuller finish. A very "funky" Hampden that is beginning to be the subject of considerable speculation.
