How does this rum taste?
The 8 Marks Collection (1 year) LFCH rum from Hampden distillery in Jamaica is distilled from molasses using pot stills and aged for one year. With a robust ABV of 52%, this rum offers a distinctive blend of intense esters and tropical fruits like pineapple and green apple. Although praised for its fresh tropical notes, it also has challenging nuances of petrol and varnish that make it polarizing. While some users appreciate its complex bouquet and subtle wood influence, others find the medicinal and alcoholic undertones overpowering. This rum offers a unique tasting journey that may appeal to those seeking bold and unconventional flavors in a short-aged Jamaican rum.

Un nez doux avec de l’ananas frais. Le boisé est marqué mais pas dominant. La bouche a une attaque douce, les fruits viennent ensuite, discrets mais nettement présents. La finale est plutôt courte mais c’est une vraie finale comparée au OWH. Malgré tout, et comme pour le OWH le bois n’est pas intégré, comme on le sent bien dans le verre vide. Les arômes sont plus minces que pour la version non vieillie.
Leider alles andere als angenehm. Die Nase riecht schon nach Benzin und verbranntem plastik und am Gaumen wird's nicht besser. Die Fruchtigkeit muss man echt akribisch suchen ohne Erfolg . Für mich leider eine herbe Enttäuschung und noch deutlich schlimmer wie die unaged Variante.
Ebenfalls eine der besseren Ausführungen mit einem anfänglich komplexen Bouquet in Nase, Gaumen und Abgang. Neben den Fruchtaromen (Apfel, Zitrus, Ananas) ist auch Honig, Kräuter, Röstaromen und Holz bemerkbar, welche durch durch Whisky-Lactone, Cresole und Furfurale kommen.
Hampden 8 Marks Collection aged 1 year in ex-bourbon casks. This time the second lowest ester level of the LFCH. However, I don't like it as much as the OWH. It comes across as too medicinal. You can feel the alcohol very clearly.
