Despite diverse user ratings, this rum intrigues with its bold flavor nuances, ideal for exploring various Hampden marks, but might not suit those seeking more refined aging.

    Wie HLCF besitzt auch das Mark LROK eine hohe Vielfalt an Ester, auch wenn sich die Gesamtestermenge eher im unteren Mittelfeld bewegt. Standardmäßig Furfurale, darüberhinaus hat dieses Fass aber laut chemischer Analyse einen sehr hohen Anteil an Cresolen (Rauch, röstig) abgegeben, denn Rauchnoten sind durchaus bemerkbar. Außerdem sind viele andere volatile Moleküle vorhanden, die eine komplexe Vielfalt erzeugen. Rauch ist aber nicht unbedingt mein Lieblingsaroma, weshalb es bei einer 8.0 bleibt.

    Die Nase macht erstmal Spaß mit Noten von gegrillter Ananas und leicht vergorenen Estern. Am Gaumen dann etwas süßlich karamellisiert aber auch viel rauchiger als erwartet. Leider ist aber auch hier eine penetrante plastik Benzin Note da, die mich extrem stört.

    Zum Tagesabschluss dann den Hampden LROK aus der 8 Marks Collection 1 year. Hier hat man in Nase und Gaumen auch überwiegend wieder Ester, obwohl dies die dritt schwächste Stufe ist. Kommen noch tropische Früchte und Holz dazu, aber auf jenen Fall zu empfehlen.

    Un nez fermenté comme pour la version non vieillie avec des esters, des bois jeunes et de l’ananas frais. La première bouche est acqueuse, dommage d’avoir baissé l’ABV, surtout pour les marks les moins riches en esters. Les fruits suivent mais sont discrets. Ici aussi la bouche est en retrait par rapport au non-vieilli. La finale paraît moins boisée et le bois est un peu mieux intégré que pour les OWH et LFCH.
