Hampden Kill Devil (The Whisky Barrel) C<>H 2007

Most tasters agree the nose is the star here — ripe pineapple, banana and that classic Hampden glue — but a few feel the palate doesn't quite keep up. At 63.2% the alcohol speaks first, then it explodes into tropical fruit and cinnamon. One member called it "young, wild and straight to the point," which sums up this 2007 C<>H well.

The community says
  • Ripe pineapple nose

How does Hampden Kill Devil (The Whisky Barrel) C<>H 2007 taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Hot, young Hampden pineapple-and-glue bomb Loved for its intense pineapple-and-ester nose, though a couple of tasters find the palate a touch unbalanced and hot. Not for laidback sipping.

Nose already strong 2007er C<>H, but in the mouth I'm missing something. Solid representative, but far from being a Benchnark

8.7/10

What a pleasure this Hampden 2007 is, the nose is incredible: esters and ripe pineapple galore. A very light woodiness. In the mouth, the alcohol speaks first. It warms the palate. Then it explodes. Incredible. An aromatic bomb loaded with esters, fruits, pungent spices. The finish is long and smooth, the heat remains, the fruits too. A bomb.
