A solid Hampden, more on the round and pleasing side, which is quite good for now. However, it is not necessarily what I expect from Hampden. Also, this is my first Hampden of the mark <H>. In the nose with neat esters, fruity, tropical fruits and citrus, but also alcoholic pungent, sour with solvent. A bit lacking in spice here and unfortunately the nose doesn't pick me up as much overall. In the mouth then very oily, round and sweet. Esters are not as strong as expected, spice is also somewhat lacking here. Here I lack something the intensity and that certain something
21.02.2020 A small private event where we borrowed the basement bar area for a private tasting and also had a go at their food. Notes. Light in colour. Nose Intense, wood, fruity, overripe, ester, polish, faint coffee. Palate Oily, wood, fruity, pineapple, varnish, anise, ester. Finish Long and warm, wood, fruity, ester, light chocolate.
Nose: Ester and varnish notes paired with wonderful fruit aromas of tropical fruits. Palate: Intense spice complementing the nose and rusty and meaty flavors. The rum neatly coats the palate with fur and is full-bodied.Finish: Spicy, esters, smoke flavors.Conclusion: This is why you appreciate Hampden.
Delicious Hampden with an awesome cherry note. Not quite as aggressive in the esters, yet creamy and full-bodied
