"Une salade de fruits avec une belle sucrosité et un peu des notes fumées agréables. Un grand Hampden. Regouté après un moment : toujours une bombe A nouveau regoûté : je pense que mes goûts ont évolué, je le trouve un peu trop explosif et je lui ai préféré aujourd'hui un Rare Cask Series HGML Velier que j'ai trouvé plus équilibré."
"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 🇯🇲🖤💛💚🖤"
"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."
"Density of flavors is great. Tastes very good to me. Not an overly classic Hampen profile, partly reminiscent of Clarendon. Lots of red fruit, spice and wood alongside the HD markers. Can absolutely hold its own at the top level."
