A genuine Jamaïcan bomb 💣 Extremely fruity profile with just enough esters. Funky rum but still very well balanced. Simply tropical ageing at its best. Definitely one of my favorite Hampden of all time 🇯🇲🖤💛💚🖤
A fruit salad with a nice sweetness and some pleasant smoky notes. A great Hampden. Revisited after a while: still a bomb. Tasted again: I think my tastes have changed, I find it a little too explosive and today I preferred a Rare Cask Series HGML Velier which I found more balanced.
Very good hampden 😍 Alcohol is integrated very well. It‘s domaninat in the nose, but it soften up if you let it fill your mouth. This really need some time to fully open. I‘ll add later some drops of water… Update: It helps! Is there Kiwi and marzipan in the nose 🤔 In the nose: tropical fruits with esters (hampden like), oak (wood - barrel), Citrus, Strong solvents, polish, medicinal (you‘ll know it has more than 60%). On the palate: tropical fruits (lot of pineapple, banana, mango), oak. A dry, astrigend and funky, delicious, fully bodied feeling in the mouth. The finish: is medium long, dry and bitter. A lot of wood, roasted, tannins and astrigend feeling.
Excellent. complex and concentrated; magnificent bomb with natural transition
