How does this rum taste?
The 8 Marks Collection (1 year) HGML is a distinctive Jamaican rum from Hampden Distillery, renowned for its high ester content and floral bouquet. Distilled from molasses using a traditional pot still and aged for just one year, it presents a complex aroma with notes of pineapple, raspberry, and caramel. Tasting reveals a strong ester profile complemented by honey, bitter tropical fruit, and floral undertones. Users appreciate its balance of fruitiness and spice, though the woodiness and bitter finish are occasionally remarked upon. This rum is a favorite for those exploring unique ester-rich profiles.

The most beautiful nose, complex, floral, with esters, honey, pineapple, raspberry and vegetal. A touch of dust. The palate is no slouch, with herbal sweets, esters, floral honey and a bitterness that makes you want to come back for more. The most beautiful finish, long, elegant and complex. An almost accomplished rum with only one year of cask ageing, except for a slight taste of wood dust.
Hampden 8 Marks Collection 1 year. We are slowly getting into the high ester range. This one (HGML) certainly has plenty of esters to offer. Apart from that, you can still sense tropical fruits, but mainly esters.
Dieser HGML hat mir ebenfalls sehr gut gefallen, weil er stark Karamell und Himbeere aufweisen kann. Röstaromen und auch etwas Schokolade im Gaumen/Abgang. Laut Zusatzinformationen ist ein hohes Maß an Furfurale (Karamell, röstige Nüsse) am Gaumen und Whisky-Lactone (floral, erdig) sowie Syringol (nasses Holz) an der Nase vorhanden.
Hier die Nummer Sechs der acht Marks Collection. Dieser Rum gefällt mir sehr gut schmeckt ein wenig komplexer als die vorherigen. Natürlich jede Menge Ester Anteil aber auch Früchte sind zu erkennen. Eine leichte Note von Karamell ist sogar zu erkennen.
