Très caractéristique de la Jamaïque. Funky. Concentré. Puissant. Long. Du plaisir.
Quelle claque ! Un blend de hampden qui ne laisse pas indifférent. Tous les marqueurs sont là. Et le rapport qualité prix est excellent.
You can taste that it’s still pretty young, but value for money it’s a hard to beat HD blend (especially at todays prices). Esters and glue, I like it. Keeps lingering for quite some time. A bit of time makes it sweeter and smoother. The shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S 🍌
Sehr leckerer Hampden mit tollem PLV. Fruchtig und überraschend süß. Das Alter merkt man ihm etwas an, bin daher sehr gespannt auf die ältere Version.
