Tasting Notes: Beautiful contrast of sweet, tropical fruits and ruinous Hampden funk. Sweet papaya, clover honey, melon, passionfruit and banana sweep across the nose, while estery undertones fester. The palate is rich and viscous, packed to the brim with maple, toffee, sweet cream and pineapple upside down cake. A touch of tobacco and molasses sit alongside a prickle of ethanol. Esters show on the palate, at odds with the sweet fruits. Funk and hogo about, twisting banana and papaya into funky forays. Long finish, sweet, funky, oaky alike. The tannin shows up in the finish, drying the palate and leaving a fruity, ester driven back palate.
