“Very spicy. Not a typical HD ... ok low Ester was clear but he comes across very different. I'm a little bothered by the smoky especially when he has breathed well ... Otherwise little fruit alcohol very concise.”

“OWH there are not so many high class ones. So this one comes in handy. Now for midsummer, I prefer the low-esters anyway. Clearly recognizable as a Hampden on the nose. On the palate, it seems very light and playful for a high-proof Hampden. In the back I have light mint and toasted barrel notes. Nice bottling, but also nothing with which you can win prizes.”

“Of course, you can't expect an ester bomb at OWH. However, I like the profile of the root surprisingly well. On the nose, yogurt, grilled pineapple and baking mix dominate. On the palate, burnt sugar, barrel, mocha. The 58.3% is very well integrated. Really tasty stuff! Best thanks to Paris for the split!”
