“The Whisky Jury has done a remarkable job with this hyper-intense, voluptuous Hampden, which exalts the senses. The nose is like a basket of tropical fruit: pineapple, banana, mango, passion fruit and papaya offer unspeakable indulgence, followed by the spicier notes of pepper and oak, before switching to a more pastry-like side. Medicinal notes are also present (normal for a C<>H), with their share of esters, glue and solvents. An exciting, mouth-watering nose. The attack on the palate is truly breathtaking. Fruit is omnipresent, opulent and extremely tasty: from ripe yellow fruit to yuzu lemon, via the exotic fruits evoked on the nose, this is a concentrated, exquisite fruit juice. Pastry, medicinal, roasted and woody flavors interweave on the palate to create a delicious, complete profile. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is perhaps a little less pronounced than the rest of the profile, with more tannic, drier, woody notes. There's a touch of spice on the vanilla, but also a little less fruit and phenolic notes. A spectacular, super-drinkable Hampden which, despite going out the back door, offers a veritable sensory voyage.”
