Review by Lot-NAS
What a great Hampden, reminds me a lot of the RC 1992 HLCF (RX10260). Fruity Esters, loads of banana and pineapple ,vanilla, wood and some salty olives. It also got a lot of tannins which make it a little astringent while being sweet and fruity at the same time. Great combo and it is definitely on the right side of a thin red line. Overall a complex and very balanced drop. Thanks to Venomino for the sample!
Review by Basti
A Hampden to my taste. Lots of tropical, overripe fruit, esters, glue, marzipan on the nose and beautifully intense on the palate. Perhaps a touch too bitter on the finish, but otherwise a really great bottling.
Review by Thunderbird
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
Review by zabo
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
Review by SaibotZtar
In der Nase viel Frucht Banane, Ananas? Papaya etwas Zitrusfrücht, etwas Säure. Fruchtester merkt man auch allerdings eher zam und im niedrigen Bereich. Am Gaumen merkt man das alter doch deutlich... erst ölig Fruchtig kommt doch eine Bittere Holzige Note durch was aber nicht stört sondern dem alter gerecht wird. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden.
Review by Tschusikowsky
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.
Review by Johannes
A rather low Ester Hampden in which the alcohol is well integrated.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Ein klassisches Hampden Profil. Im Abgang wird der Rum noch mal spannender, da er durchaus lange und adstringend ist. Aber dann ist er plötzlich auch wieder weg. Lässt sich sehr gut trinken und macht nichts falsch. Aber 24y hätte den Rum durchaus etwas vielschichtiger machen können. Hier ist die Flasche wahrscheinlich das größte Highlight. Danke an venomino für das Sample.
