Last one today, this time the DOK of the Hampden 8 Marks Collection 1 year. An absolutely top ester bomb. Exactly my thing. In addition, a slightly fruity note and solvent can be recognized in the nose. Then also slightly fruity on the palate. Delicious.
Auto-translatedVolle Ladung Ananas und Banane, floral mit Kräutern und Marzipan. Sehr intensiv und konzentriert. Macht schon einiges her, sowie auch schon die blanko Variante. Laut Zusatzinformationen gibt es einen hohen Anteil an Furfural-Molekülen, die Aromen wie Karamell, geröstete Haselnüsse und Erdnussbutter hervorbringen. Weiterhin Whisky-Lactone, die herbe, erdige, florale und würzige Aromen liefern.
Leider schon die Nummer Acht der 8 Marks Collection und wieder mal ein sehr spannender Rum. Hier auch wieder deutlich Ester und tropische Früchte wie Ananas deutlich zu erkennen und zu riechen. Insgesamt mal wieder eine tolle Serie. Auch wenn es in der Vergangenheit schon bessere gab
In sensory terms, I have now reached the end of the line. Nevertheless, the nose is extremely intense. Clearly the Esther. Red stone fruit, I would say. Perhaps something different in the second tasting :-D for me due to the high ester content.
