Old Brothers Hampden Brut d'alambic 86,3 LROK 2018
Anyone who chases unaged Hampden at full throttle will want a look here. Bottled at a wild 86.3%, this LROK is white, raw and surprisingly drinkable for the strength — several tasters were caught off guard by that. Expect citrus, olive, green vegetal notes and a whiff of anise rather than the usual pineapple bomb; the fruit sneaks in after it sits in the glass.

Review by Serge
Wow, beim Einschenken dachte ich: Den hätte ich mir ganz anders vorgestellt. Erst mal kaum Ananas (die ich hier mehr im Vordergrund erwartet hätte), dafür eher Zitrusfrüchte, Planzen, Oliven und tatsächlich auch etwas in Richtung Anis oder Lakritze gehendes. Nach einer Weile im Glas gesellen sich aber ein paar der typischen fruchtattribute dazu.
Review by Thunderbird
Eine sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Nase, der ABV ist verhältnismäßig zurückhaltend, die Frucht-, Pflanzen- und Gewürzkomponenten harmonieren. Am Gaumen ist er naturgemäß ziemlich ölig und schwer. 86 % lassen sich nicht verleugnen, sind aber gut trinkbar. Auch hier Frucht- und Pflanzenaromen. Ebenso beim Abgang. Eine gelungene Abfüllung
Review by zabo
Olala, eine ganz schöne Herausforderung diesen pur zu trinken. War aber denoch verwundert, dass es denoch funktioniert. Für mich jetzt leider nicht unbedingt das, was ich täglich im Glas haben muss. Der Rest wurde mit ein wenig Cola trinkbarer gemacht. Da gefällt er mir zwar ein bißchen besser besser, aber ist auch nicht gänzlich überzeugend.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice and intense profile. Needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours. Fruity with nice spices topped with a light floral touch. Thr floral note is more obvious in the empty glass.
