TCRL Hampden Jamaica HD (Selected by LMDW/Shinanoya) 2012
Most tasters land in the same place: a fruity, lighter-ester Hampden where the cognac cask does real work. Expect banana, pineapple, apple and orange blossom up front, then roasted wood, coffee and caramel with a slightly bitter, dry finish. Several found the palate quieter than the nose, and at 57.5% a few felt the alcohol could sit better. Straightforward, young, and easy to like.

- Cognac-cask depth

Fruity, cognac-cask Hampden, lighter on ester Most rate it a fruity, low-ester Hampden the cognac cask makes "more grown up." Rounded and enjoyable, if not very complex, with a mildly bitter finish some noticed.

Review by Volkmar Weber
Super fruchtiger Low Ester OWH Hampden. Nicht sehr komplex, aber rund & stimmig.
Review by Tim
Dieser OWH ist toll! Ausgewogen mit einer harmonischen Erweiterung durch die Fasseinflüsse. Im Mund kommen schöne Röstaromen (Kaffee) dazu, was zusammen mit den Früchten und Karamell sehr gut passt. Gefällt!
Review by Leo Tomczak
Meine Entdeckung des Abends. Tiefe Cognac Noten. Ein toller Sipper. Schwere Nusstöne. Gleichzeitig leicht zu trinken hintenraus kaum Wechsel, sehr geradlinig aufgrund des geringen Alters.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting-Abend bei Dr. Django (Jamaica): Diese Sonderabfüllung macht richtig Spaß. Gegenüber der normalen Version entwickelt diese Abfüllung mehr buttrige Fruchtsäure und weniger Würze und Holz, was der Aromenvielfalt einen Gewinn bringt. Daher geht sie als deutlicher Sieger hervor
