Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5704 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is usually my favourite mark and I had hoped for more than I actually got. Nicely balanced and fruity with esters, glue and some spices. The finish is medium to long and warm. There is a nice naturaly sweetness in the profile.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Elle se compose de quatre rhums Hampden, âgés de 4 à 9 ans, tous embouteillés à 60 % : DOK 2021 HGML 2018 <>H 2017 LROK 2016 S’il fallait en retenir un, ce serait le <>H 2017, doté d’une belle douceur naturelle, bien équilibré et fruité, même s’il manque un peu de longueur en bouche. Sur le plan gustatif, cette série n’a rien de révolutionnaire, mais elle se distingue par ses magnifiques étiquettes signées Cristina de Middel, qui subliment la distillerie Hampden à travers son regard artistique.
