"Another HLCF from Velier... but from 2016. Overall, this one seems a bit more relaxed and smooth, but also more boring. None of the aromas particularly stand out... they all remain rather muted or restrained. Something is missing for me"

"Mir gefallen diese HLCF's sehr. Dieser hier wie immer sehr geschmeidig. Alkohol hintenraus sehr stark. Schöner runder tropischer Hampden. Preis leider hoch, aber auch das ist nichts Neues."

"Anfangs wirkt die Abfüllung ein bißchen wild und alkoholisch an der Nase. Mit der Zeit legt sich die aggressive Nase. Im Mund ist er auch nicht so ganz ausgewogen, wie ich es mir vorstelle. Störend finde ich beim Abgang eine leichte bittere und säuerliche Note. Gut, aber nicht sehr gut."

"Quite medicinal, alcoholic and virgin oaky on the nose, behind which gingerbread and mirabelle plums and other stone fruits are discreetly hidden. Aromatically, it is then clear what the matter is: Bourbon cask but how! Surprisingly little of the Hampden can still be tasted, I would be interested to know what kind of fresh grenade bourbon cask was used here? Sesame, honeycomb, beeswax, virgin oak and vanilla. Basically a very tasty Hampden rum for the US market, but the bourbon almost steals the show from the Hampden! 😄 On the other hand, the finish has this overly delicious sesame banana honey note that I really celebrate!"
