Hampden 8 MARKS COLLECTION LFCH 2022
Most enjoy the fruity, nutty, slightly cocoa profile and educational value; critics find it thin, harsh, even “like vodka.” Consensus: interesting learning tool, middling standalone sipper.
Rum geeks and Hampden fans who want to study individual marks, enjoy high-ABV white Jamaicans, and like dry, fruity, slightly solventy profiles in daiquiris or side-by-side tastings.

How does this rum taste?
Educational, fruity but quite divisive
If you’re already into white Jamaican funk and want to understand Hampden’s building blocks, this is worth it; if you mainly want an easy sipper, your money is better on aged Hampden.
Beginners, those sensitive to 60% ABV, or drinkers seeking a rounded, aged, sweet sipper without solvent or herbal/chemical edges.

Der nächste leckere Rum aus der 8 Marks Kollektion. Finde ich etwas besser als den ersten. Leichte Noten von Kakao oder Schokolade sind zu erkennen aber auf der anderen seite auch sehr fruchtig. Interessanter Rum
Des fruits vinaigrés avec toujours pas mal de gourmandise en fin de bouche avec qlq'chose de fumé voir torrefié
Weiter geht's. Dieser Rum hat satte 60%. Er schmeckt leicht fruchtig und meiner Meinung nach auch leicht alkoholisch. Ist jetzt Keim Spitzenklasse-Rum aber doch ganz okay. Mal sehen, was die anderen Rums aus der Collection sagen.
Tasting of the 8 Hampden Marks and re-tasting one year later. The tasting is very similar to that of last year. The chalky nose of the OWH has been erased, replaced by solvent and glue, with fruit - including fig - coming later. The palate is thinner than the OWH, but the solvents have almost disappeared and the fruit has taken over. It's longer, with lots of fruit. The empty glass is very fruity, like a tropical orchard, and the solvents reappear.
