Hampden 8 MARKS COLLECTION HLCF

A nose full of esters, overripe tropical fruits, and marzipan leads into a peppery, dry palate featuring pineapple and banana. Tasters agree it’s a fun, aromatic unaged Hampden—excellent for those eager to explore its raw complexity.

    How does this rum taste?

    • Punchy tropical fruit flavor
    • Classic high-ester funk
    • Great educational sampler

    Bright bursts of tropical fruit and vibrant esters are the calling cards of Hampden's HLCF from the 8 Marks Collection. RumX tasters highlight ripe pineapple, banana, marzipan, and peppery complexity, with a candied yet dry touch. An energetic, unaged Jamaican rum that’s both boldly aromatic and surprisingly rounded for its youth. Worth a sip for anyone seeking pure, high-ester character straight from the still.

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

    "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."

    "All in all, an exciting tasting. Some of them were surprisingly delicious and tasty. The ever-popular distillery in a different light. Trying the basic product in this form has its appeal. The maturation through storage is a different matter. My platform: HLCF > HGML > C<>H Clear low-light: LROK"
