Review by Thunderbird
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!
Review by Mc Pirate
Hampden typiquement jamaïcain mais fort du début à la fin ! Je ne suis vraiment pas fan
Review by Timo Groeger
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.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
So much alcohol in the finish. Taste as very cheap. Like Younger.
Review by ilRummista
Più lo bevo e più mi piace. Uno tra i migliori Hampden imbottigliati negli ultimi 24 mesi
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Jakob
Stands out extremely positively in a direct comparison of the two2016 Hampdens, which were released under the aegis of Velier. Clearly more harmonious and with far better integration of the alcohol.
Review by Mike H.
A very nice Hampden. The only downside is that the alcohol comes through a little too much during the finish.
Review by Christoph
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.
Review by Basti
An der Nase Zitrusfrüchte, buttrige Noten, Ester, Klebstoff, etwas Lakritz, tropische Früchte und Vanille und metallische/medizinische Noten. Für meinen Geschmack insgesamt etwas zu sehr auf der bitteren, lakritzigen Seite.
Review by Simon Leroux
Hampden sympa mais très classique
Review by John Coffey
