ARHUMATIC JAMSTAR Hampden LFCH, Carambole, Miel, Cannelle, Citron Vert Foundations

Nose : Ample, deep. An initial note of rubber adds the Hampden signature. Macerated fruit (cherry brandy) and star fruit also take centre stage. On aeration, the aromatic palette becomes exotic (mango) and spicy (nutmeg).

Appearance : Jaune doré

Palate : Fresh and suave. A veritable basket of fruit (pear, mirabelle plum), the palette of flavours is supported by notes of liquorice stick. Then, flavours of grated cinnamon spread across the taste buds, while cane honey takes us back to Hampden.

Overall : Long and luscious. Geranium flowers, bergamot and an infusion of thyme make for a particularly evocative start to the finish. The smooth finish invites us to savour a rum baba, aniseed and warm treacle honey.
