Tasting Notes:
“1,300–1,500 gr ester/HLPA, that’s the C<>H marque, right? At such a young age, they still managed to give it a Madeira cask finish, and judging by the colour, it wasn’t white Madeira. Let’s see, in any case we trust the Catawiki crew. And CoR, of course. Colour: Provence rosé wine, or partridge eye. Nose: careful, this does unscrew your nose and perhaps your whole head. Burning tyres, one might say. Or rather, tyres actively burning. Yet the background seems subtler, peach skins, gentle glues, sun lotion… With water: a staggering gangster vibe, submachine gun, cartridges… And heaps of glue. Mouth (neat): even at this extreme, Hampden remains one of the world’s greatest distillates, quite simply. Earth, chalk, petrol (yes, we once had petrol in the mouth back when we used to siphon tanks with mates, given how thirsty our cars were), and indeed this one’s colour does rather remind you of petrol. Also lots of black olives. With water: in come the brined fish—anchovies, sardines, mackerel… And lashings of salt. Finish: very long, on acetone and salt. Comments: perhaps the most discreet Madeira wine influence we’ve ever encountered, and yet it was clearly there, judging by the colour of this baby. In any case, we adore this baby Hampden.”
Note: SGP:646 - 89 points.
