How does this rum taste?
Educational, fruity but raw Hampden base

Beginners, neat-sipping lovers seeking smoothness, and anyone expecting classic, fully aged Hampden funk or deep complexity from this unaged mark.

No doubt this is unaged. Rather in your face and a bit out of balance, but the fruit is there.
The first in the 8-mark series and tasted again a year later with a better score. The tasting was very similar to that of last year. A very chalky nose at first, followed by fruit, lots of fruit, banana, prickly pear. A racy, well-balanced palate with clear raspberry alcohol. A sharp but long finish. The empty glass brings a sweetness in addition to the fruit. A highly aromatic rum that's sure to be interesting. It starts very well.
Auto-translatedGood white rum. Certainly also nice to mix.
Auto-translatedIn the best weather, tried all 8 HD Marks yesterday and re-tried again this evening with notes. A totally exciting, informative and wertgiges set and with real aha experience. Important insight... pour and taste right away. Long airing makes almost all fine flavors evaporate. But in detail: Nose: clearly dishwashing liquid with orange, still green tangerine peel and lime. Seems quite fresh as a result. Interestingly, it also has something of cherry yogurt. Esters are actually not to be heard. The max. 80 then probably come from the after all 3 days fermentation. Palate: slightly spicy, slightly bitter, but still quite mild for 60%. Has a somewhat spicy start, with a hint of caraway or cardamom. Fruit is there only in the background, lime with some orange peel. Rather, it seems somewhat veggie-like, with green leaves and fresh branches as well as mineral. In the finish, it becomes somewhat salty and reminiscent of a fruit schnapps. Hamden DNA is yet to really be found. Moreover, difficult to grade...
