"Very typical "Hampden", its aromatic and gustatory palette is made up of sunny and shaded sequences which diffuse a luminosity all in halftones. Moreover, abundantly fruity, floral and freshly herbaceous, it reveals a unity of tone that does not exclude some medicinal and musky upheavals."
For reference, below are the currently offered marks from Hampden Distillery.
| OWH | Outram W. Hussey | 40-80 |
| LFCH | Lawrence Francis Close Hussey | 90-120 |
| LROK | Light Rum Owen Kelly | 300-400 |
| HLCF | Hampden Light Continental Flavoured | 500-700 |
| <>H | Hampden | 900-1000 |
| HGML | Hampden George MacFarquhar Lawson | 1000-1100 |
| C<>H | Continental Hampden | 1300-1400 |
| DOK | Dermot Owen Kelly-Lawson | 1500-1600 |
As such, the new HES mark sits between the LFCH and LROK marks, relatively low on the spectrum of Hampden's ester count.
