Hampden Estate 2022 8 Marks Collection C<>H

Nose: Right away, artificial, stale peanut butter. The funky, fruity notes are in the background. Some alcohol, and a heavier feeling as it lacks any bright, fruitiness.

Taste: Again, that artificial peanut butter note is front and center, but gives way quickly to the more familiar fruity, funky notes one might expect - but mild in degree. A hint of citrus with some white pepper. The bitter note has returned, but remains minor. Slight burn, dry, no surprises there. A hint of chlorine in the finish, with molasses being the final player. Interestingly, it has flavor while lacking it at the same time - which probably makes no sense - a bit of a flavor conundrum to me.

Esters - 1300-1400gr/HLPA
Molasses - Medium
Cane Juice Vinegar - High
Dunder - High
Muck - High
Fermentation - Alcoholic = 10 Days; Dead Wash = 10 Days
Distillation - Double Retort Pot

Clear color, nose , taste starts of enjoyable and pineapple flavor, but then that overboard nuttiness funk comes in and karate chops your face. +4 if you enjoy this type of ester level, but I think my sweet spot is 300-600 gr/HLPA range. Was told it wan't created to necessarily drink neat, but to use to flavor confectionary, cakes, cologne, etc.

Spocene podpazi topmodelky, odlakovac, lak na okurky, nejake ovoce, prasna cesta. Chut je uhlazenejsi nez vune a dochut dlouha a uplne na konci bananova. S vodou perfektni.
