Another excellent addition to the Hampden and Great House line. This one is a bit raw and aggressive. It comes at you with pungent fruits and spices but doesn’t veer too out of control in doing so. Great depth and complexity add to it as well. Its more of the fruit and funky side compared to Great House 2020 and I love it for that.
