Swell de Spirits On Tour Series No. 7 (Toulouse Spirits Festival) 2024

One taster clocked it as a Hampden blind and couldn't believe how young it drinks. That's the story here: yellow and tropical fruit, grilled pineapple, banana, a bit of marzipan and butterscotch, with the esters dialed back from full Hampden roar. At 58.9% the alcohol sits well integrated, and a few drops of water push it sweeter and fruitier. Harmonious, if not the loudest funk bomb on the shelf.

The community says
  • Bright yellow fruit
  • Alcohol integrated
  • But: Milder esters

High Ester blend Jamaica, Barbados, Belize, mind. 6 Jahre tropisch…an der Nase vergorene und kandierte, tropische Früchte. Belize eher im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen dann mehr auf der würzigen Seite, im Abgang eine Nougat-Süsse. Ich finde den blend gut gelungen, zumal er echt fair bepreist war (für die Festival-Teilnehmer).

A Caribbean blend that is rather on the mild side, more yellow fruits, maybe papaya...at least on the nose and palate. I only perceive esters fleetingly. On the palate, the fruit also recedes significantly ... in the finish, the spice predominates and a little bitterness at the very end. This bottling doesn't quite convince me

Une grosse impression de boire un armagnac , J’ai même relu l’étiquette pour être sûr 😂 C’est pas mal fait, ça se laisse boire, mais c’est pas le meilleur blend que j’ai bu Assez agréable en bouche, la longueur est moyenne. L’alcool est très bien intégré.

Nase kommt ziemlich viel süße mit leicht gerösteten mandel aroma und gelbe früchte. Geschmack ist eher eindimensional, süß, karamellbonbon und etwas frucht. Abgang ist ok aber nicht besonderes. Wenn man auf tour geht kann man schon ein paar davon trinken 😅

Typische Hampden Noten: gelbe und tropische Früchte, gegrillte Ananas. Schöne Ester. Der Rum wirkt in sich sehr harmonisch, was doch auch mit Blick auf das vergleichsweise junge Alter überrascht. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden.

Holt mich an der Nase nicht wirklich ab. Wirkt unausgewogen und mir fällt es schwer einzelne Notes rauszupicken. Am Gaumen etwas Lösungsmittel und Marzipan, aber leider auch etwas zu bitter und nichtssagend. Haut mich nicht vom Hocker.

You can instantly recognize Hampden from the nose. Alcohol is well integrated. Ester, yellow fruits and tropical fruits. Also butterscotch in the finish.
