On the nose, you'll find alluring notes of candied pineapples, bananas, vanilla, bitter oranges, black olives, and subtle iodized hints. The palate brings forth exotic fruits like pineapples, mangoes, and papayas, enhanced by sugar, wood, fish oil, and briny undertones. The finish is long, leaving traces of vanilla, burnt wood, candied fruits, smoke, and grapefruits. With only 195 bottles produced, this 16-year-old expression from the 2000 Hampden vintage is highly sought after. It scores an impressive 88 points, showcasing a well-balanced and enjoyable flavor profile that sets it apart from other vintages.
