"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."

"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."

"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."

"Exciting nose of tart, sweet raspberries, roasted marshmallows, marzipan cream and cocoa. The palate is also sweet and tart but pleasant to drink. No disturbing smokiness and no excessive acidity. Floral, slightly sweet, slightly woody and bitter on the finish."
