Very solid blend. Even though I only really like Hampden. But what can you complain about 🤤 The overripeness is very well integrated in terms of taste. Top balance, great Jamaican that is dangerously drinkable.
After 2 years in the glass still a revelation. Great craft to get a blend of this quality. Extren light and quaffable, a Jamaican for every day. Incredibly good PLV to the issue.
For me the best of the 2008 Jamaica Blends. I still go down a point from 86 to 85. Tasted against Esters Delight II and for me the Esters Delight I is better.
The best blend I've ever had. In Mai Tai it shows everything. Great cinema
