Hampden 8 MARKS COLLECTION HLCF 2022 Unaged 60%
The 8 MARKS COLLECTION HLCF from Hampden distillery is a bold, unaged Jamaican rum with a potent 60% ABV. Crafted from molasses using a pot still, this limited edition rum offers a rich tapestry of aromas including esters, solvents, and tropical fruit, accented by marzipan and overripe notes. The taste continues the tropical theme with an emphasis on pineapple and a peppery finish. Critics appreciate its complexity and the notable Hampden ester profile, though some wish for the depth that aging might provide. With only 5000 bottles, the HLCF mark is an intriguing addition for collectors and those seeking the raw essence of Jamaican rum.

“Dégustation des 8 marks Hampden et regoûté un an après avec une meilleure note. La dégustation est très proche de celle de l’année passée. Le nez est plein de fruits trop mûrs, légère volatile, mais pas de solvants. La bouche est pointue, complexe avec toujours des fruits sur-mûrs. L’alcool n’est pas si bien intégré. La finale est un peu plus longue, sur l’umami les fruits et un léger champignon. On pourrait penser à un Whisky écossais en sentant le verre vide. Troublant.”

“Not a bad rum though I would have loved to try this one riped in a barrel. Fruity with nice esters.”
