Hampden 8 Marks Collection (1 year) HGML
Highly praised high-ester Hampden with balanced fruit, spice and wood, impressive complexity for just one year in cask, and a long, tasty finish that many find almost “finished” already.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who want a younger Hampden with strong caramelized tropical fruit, floral notes and roasted oak, enjoyable both neat and in bold tiki-style cocktails.

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.
Auto-translatedHampden 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.
Auto-translatedDieser 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.
