HD 2014 <>H (56,8%, The Whisky Jury ‘The Ester Hunter’ 2024, 165 btl.)

Nose: totally on point. Pungent glue, allspice, hints of apple vinegar and nail polish remover. Then sour pineapple, lime acidity and green banana, with hints of marzipan and Pelikan sticks. Firm briny notes as well.

Mouth: no surprises here, really. Oily and funky. More green bananas, acetone and aniseed. A nice lime acidity again, with hints of yoghurt and olives in brine. Then pineapple and glue again, with a salty edge and a pleasant mineral dryness. Perhaps just a little alcohol in the end.

Finish: long, with this combination of raw alcohol and white sugar, as well as aniseed and a faint hint of espresso.

Very good Hampden, with this chemical, sharp and concentrated profile. Honestly, even the lousiest hunter can catch esters in this one. Retailers can be found through the TWJ website.
