“Needs some time in the glass ... 45min it should already be, then a great fruitiness comes to light ... nice ester and glue notes , Hampden very clear to smell and taste. Good bottling at just reasonable price .”

“Very similar not only 02, 08 and Plantation HJF 02, but also to <>H 01. Similarities: lots of tropical fruits, overripenness, just the right amount of petrol and banana, dried/candied fruits, solvent taste (more obvious in plantation) Baking Room: This one has more pastry flavor, more sweet flavor, very light wood tone, very little. Dried fruit tastes like it's been cooked. It's thick, and nosing in particular is intoxicating, but not too complicated overall. It's the least complex among three, but it's the most pleasurable of all, and has a nice aroma of sugar.”
