"Very tasty ester fruit bomb. The alcohol is very well integrated for the young age. The high ester content is much more noticeable here than in the older HLCF that have been released recently."

"Also a very nice release. Fruity with some esters and nice wood and spices. I like the smoky touch in the finish and the empty glass reveals nice chocolate notes."

"This is so far for me the best Hampden with the Mark HLCF!He comes round, complex and absolutely coherent therefore! The fruit, spice and wood are perfectly balanced, nothing dominates, but alternates harmoniously!Top!"

"Dieser Hampden erinnert mich schon viel mehr an einen Hampden, wie die Dinger aus der 8 Marks Collection. In der Nase halt überwiegend Ester am Gaumen kommt dann noch eine gewisse Fruchtigkeit bestehen aus Ananas und Banane hinzu. Echt lecker."
