“Schöner fruchtiger Hampden, hätte mit einer deutlich stärkeren Holznote gerechnet nach 24 Jahren im Fass. Alles in allem ein guter Jamaicaner der eher im Low Ester Bereich einzuorden ist. Danke an venomino für den Split”

“A very well-balanced Hampden that is also suitable for beginners. It can be classified in the lower ester range and is well balanced with delicate fruit, sweetness, woodiness and spice. It contains no surprises, which is very positive in this case”

“Very decent Hampden, characterized by good alcohol integration and herbal notes. Banana, leather, pineapple, cardamom and piement on the nose. In the mouth a mixture of salt, olives, but also good tropical fruit with espresso and camomile. Sweet aspects are only added in the finish.”
