    How does this rum taste?

    The Hampden 8 Marks Collection LROK is a limited edition Jamaican rum distilled from molasses and aged for one year. Showcasing a 52% ABV, this rum features prominent ester aromas alongside notes of pineapple, roasted wood, and sweetness. Its palate is characterized by tropical fruit, caramel, and hints of smoke, though some users note an overpowering acidic alcohol presence. Unique in its complexity, the LROK mark offers a glimpse into the distinct ester-rich profiles typical of Hampden distillery. 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.

    Die Nase nun schon süßlicjer und nicht mehr die grünen früchte in der Dominanz. Es wird hier durchaus karamelliger. Im Geschmack viel angenehmer als der lfch. Um einiges elegantere Töne. Auch ein etwas rauchigerer Zeitgenosse.

    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.

    Nose is great, light and complex with tropical fruits. The mouth is musty with caramel and some older notes. The finish is musty with some petrol and tropical fruits. Solid but a little soapy on the finish
