#5713 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. A pretty nice HGML but I did expect more. Fruity with esters and light spicy tingle on the palate. The wood is well integrate and there is a light marzipan note in there as well. In the background there is some glue and solvents.
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.

De la longueur et un côté acidulé mais manque un peu d'équilibre à mon goût
