Review by Oliver
Heavenly nose! Pineapple, marzipan, ester funk and great depth. Everything you'd expect from a Hampden - perfectly packed together. Then on the palate, an unearthly punch (in a positive sense), coupled with a smoky sweetness. Endless, fruity finish. Absolute Hampden Champions League! 🔥🇯🇲

Review by Rare Akuma
The aroma is nothing short of an attack on the senses, complex and near-overwhelming. The open glass releases wave after wave of frankincense, varnish and spice. Once the nose gets accustomed to the scent of what I imagine the thick mist inside of a palm reader’s hut smells like, you discover a fickle balance of sour pineapple juice, red berries, lime and a splash of vinegar on one side; and sourdough, discarded vanillapod and applecake on the other side. Well balanced, a little challenging, but definitely enticing to the senses. In the mouth the years on oak have noticeably worked their magic, and have further concentrated all flavours, leaving room for more discoveries, such as the explosion of red fruit bubblegum immediately after sipping. The fruits are exquisitely balanced with oak, warm spice, fennel root and ‘peperkoek’. The finish is long and smooth with hot cloves, pineapple and grapefruit juice, unwinding in ever-lasting yoghurt notes.
Review by Jakob
An absolute stunner. 1993 remains a (mostly) absolutely impressive vintage. Intense, complex, full of aromatics - simply inspiring. Great release!
Review by Johannes
Das ist schon eine Liga! Macht richtig Spaß! Eher auf der bitteren Seite.
Review by Sebastian.W
Great drop! The nose brings along red fruits, lime, sour cherry, frankincense, vinegar, clove, anise and sourdough bread. The taste is also full of red fruits And spices accompanied by grapefruit, milk chocolate and gingerbread. The finish continues with the grapefruit and is quite rotten.
Review by Serge
Sehr leckerer alter, kontinentaler Hampden 👌 richtig schön intensiv und mit feiner Aromatik. Lediglich die Säure könnt für meinen Gusto etwas weniger sein – aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau. Mag tropisch lieber, aber der hier ist lecker 👌👌
Review by Manuel
Sehr interessanter Hampden, der meinen persönlichen Geschmack nicht so direkt trifft. Die hohe Qualität des Rums kann man dennoch erkennen. Für mich sticht hier aber eine Essignote zu sehr heraus. Persönlich reicht mir hier das Sample.
