Profumo chiaramente riconoscibile, è un hampden a tutti gli effetti: frutta, colle, potenza aromatica. In bocca molto equilibrato vengono fuori spezie, vegetale e balsamico, sempre con il profilo hampden sullo sfondo. Il legno mi ha stupito, più tendente al legno verde, elegante e fresco. Questo rum ha però un enorme problema che non è risolvibile, ce ne sono poche bottiglie in giro.

A great Hampden, very well balanced! The mix of tropical and continental ageing gives both strength and elegance.

Un grande Hampden con invecchiamento in parte continentale. Naso ricco. Esteroso quanto basta e carico di frutta tropicale. Palato rotondo ed equilibrato. Finale deciso e abbastanza lungo. Un Hampden deciso, complesso ma che si lascia bere veramente tanto. Uno dei migliori Hampden assaggiati negli ultimi 18 mesi!

Wirklich ein schöner Hampden, in der Nase und am Gaumen kommt genau das an, was man von einem Hampden erwartet. Sehr ausbalancierte Frucht und Esternoten, und der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Preis ist für die Qualität e ht in Ordnung & das Design finde ich auch sehr ansprechend.

Da kommt Freude auf. Ein sehr schöner Hampden mit viel Frucht, Ester und ein wenig Holz. Die 9 Jahre reichen absolut aus für dieses Profil. Da braucht es gar nicht mehr, Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Der Preis passt auch einigermaßen …auch wenn es vergleichbare Destillate für ein paar Euronen weniger gibt.

8.5/10

Edit: nochmal als Mixer probiert. Mehr als zufrieden damit. Nochmal ein bisschen nach oben korrigiert Um es kurz mit den Worten meiner Söhne zu beschreiben, riecht nach Sommerurlaub, Apfel, Banane und Apfel. Mehr als riechen durften die aber nicht. Für mich ein sehr ausgewogener und ausbalancierter Rum. Wobei mir für das Mark ein wenig der Funk im Mund fehlt leider, was ihn eine bessere Bewertung leider verwährt. Aber alles in allem scheint der 2014er Jahrgang ein sehr gutes Jahr zu sein.
