    How does this rum taste?

    The 8 Marks Collection (1 year) OWH is a Jamaican rum from Hampden distillery, distilled in pot stills and aged for one year. With an ABV of 52%, it boasts a complex nose filled with esters, glue, and fruity notes like banana and pear. Users noted the influence of ex-bourbon cask maturing on its taste, maintaining a blend of esters, tropical fruits, and a hint of bourbon. While the rum offers a short finish with woody undertones, some feel its potential is not fully realized yet, awaiting richer maturation. Ideal for those seeking a unique yet subtly complex Hampden experience.

    Hampden 8 Marks Collection aged 1 year in ex-boubon casks, here the OWH, i.e. the rum in the series with the lowest ester content. Nevertheless, esters can be easily recognized in the nose, as well as glue. On the palate, however, there is still a slight bourban taste. One of the poorer Hampdens, but still excellent.

    Hampden 8 Marks Collection - Aged vs. Unaged: Bäh! Was ist mit dem passiert? Wähuder ungelagerte OWH noch recht angenehm war, ist der hier fast schob unangenehm., Am Gaumen dünn und irgendwie herzhaft, aber auf unangenehme Art. Fazit: keiner der 16 Rums war ein Genuss und die Bewertung ist nur als relativ untereinander zu verstehen. Trotzdem sehr interessant alle Marks unter gleichen Bedingungen zu probieren und die verschiedenen Ausprägungen von Frucht, Klebstoff, Würze und Überraschenderweise oft Umami zu schmecken. Demnächst ein Set mit 3-5 Jahren im Fass?

    The nose a nice fullness of green fruits. Apple with a caramel note. In the taste then rather banished pears. I find it very pleasant. Can certainly do something in cocktails. Slight ester notes.

    Hier ist die Fasslagerung etwas durch kandierte Früchte mit Honig bemerkbar. Allerdings besteht der Hauptanteil aus vergorenen Früchten mit einer guten Ladung Essig. Der OWH Blanco war ebenfalls sehr sauer. Laut Zusatzinformationen dieses Sets ist der Fasseinfluss prominter und in Form von Karamellisierung vorhanden. Die Fruchtnoten als Apfel und Birne. Zuletzt bringt das Syringol-Molekül nasse Holznoten.
