How does this rum taste?
- Reminds me of buttered and toasted brioche buns
- Esters are taking over, already a certain complexity
- Intensive citrus aromas like pineapple
C<>H from Hampden’s 8 Marks series turns up the esters—in both aroma and palate. Banana, pineapple, and overripe tropical fruits headline, with marzipan and pronounced glue notes weaving through. Users highlight a buttery, almost creamy mouthfeel: "Reminds me of buttered and toasted brioche buns" (crazyforgoodbooze). A few mentioned a long, slightly vegetal finish and enjoyed the inviting intensity: "Esters are taking over; already a certain complexity even unaged" (Alex1981). While most found it engaging and educational, some felt it sits better in lineups than solo.

"A really good release considering it's unaged. Fruity with nice esters and a lovely roasted note."
"Dégustation des 8 marks Hampden et regoûté une année après. Le nez le plus expressif, un peu alcooleux mais avec du végétal et de l’amertume. L’entrée de bouche est un peu heurtée mais devient très vite délicieuse. C’est la plus complexe de la série. La finale très longue semble confirmer que plus les esters sont hauts, plus la finale s’allonge. Le verre vide a des légers relents de boisé/ fumé et fait aussi penser à un whisky écossais. Splendide rhum blanc, mon coup de cœur de la série sans aucun doute."
"Kenne die Chemie deines Hampden-Rums! Das 8-Marks-Set ist sehr informativ und lehrreich. Das C<>H Mark besteht hauptsächlich aus Butyrate- und Capr-Estern, also volle Ladung saure Früchte, rote Beeren, Kokos und kandierte Früchte. Auch etwas buttriges oder sahniges findet sich an der Nase. Im Mund süß und kandierte Früchte, wobei ein stets überreifes, vergorenes und buttriges Aroma zurückbleibt."
"I tasted it after breathing. It's getting interesting 😀"
