Tasted the 8 Hampden Marks and re-tasted a year later with a better score. Very similar to last year's tasting. Slight spiciness on the nose, chalky like the OWH, wet paper. The palate is less aromatic than its predecessors, chalky with overripe apple and a fermented side that is quite present throughout the tasting. Does the chalkiness come from the distillation heads, as in cognac and armagnac? The finish is a little short but complex, with apple very present. The empty glass is warm but a little hollow. Disappointing for a LROK, whereas I found the HV RX104 absolutely magnificent.
LROK ist nich meine Lieblings-Mark, ungereift finde ich ihn aber gar nicht übel, da er etwas herbaler und intensiver schmeckt.
Lightly dry and fruity with a light roasted touch.
Tasting this alongside HCLF, C<>H, and DOK. As always, that Hampden tropical funk is there, but I get much more green or unripe fruits and really appreciate the dryness. This would (will) make a fantastic daiquiri. The sour cherry on the finish is wonderful.
