"Beautiful classic profile as you would expect from the HD 2001 <>H. Solid representative without standing out. Also delivers Tai in May."
"15.02.2020 Had a nice evening with dinner and everything and after that a nice little tasting. Notes. Light in colour. Nose Light wood, fruity, banana, ginger, spice, ester, light smoke. Palate Oily, wood, fruity, pineapple, citrus, ester, light smoke. Finish Medium long, wood, pineapple, light chocolate."
"Un joli Hampden qui donne la part belle aux fruits bien mûrs. Les esters sont là. Du vernis également mais discret. Une petite gourmandise vanillée. De l'acidité en bouche. Un alcool piquant (un poil trop selon moi). Très sympa."
"Todays competition lowers it a bit and I probably would rate it higher if it where a higher ABV too, but still really good."
