Hampden 8 Marks Collection (1 year) LFCH
A solid young Hampden: fruity, estery and characterful, with green apple, pineapple, honeyed molasses and light oak. Expressive and fun, though clearly young and a bit rough around the edges.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who enjoy analyzing different Hampden marks and don’t mind a youthful, edgy profile at slightly elevated strength.

Ebenfalls eine der besseren Ausführungen mit einem anfänglich komplexen Bouquet in Nase, Gaumen und Abgang. Neben den Fruchtaromen (Apfel, Zitrus, Ananas) ist auch Honig, Kräuter, Röstaromen und Holz bemerkbar, welche durch durch Whisky-Lactone, Cresole und Furfurale kommen.
Leider alles andere als angenehm. Die Nase riecht schon nach Benzin und verbranntem plastik und am Gaumen wird's nicht besser. Die Fruchtigkeit muss man echt akribisch suchen ohne Erfolg . Für mich leider eine herbe Enttäuschung und noch deutlich schlimmer wie die unaged Variante.
Jetzt der zweite Hampden der acht Marks Collection. Gefällt mir etwas besser als der erste. Man erkennt hier deutlich tropische Früchte wie zum Beispiel Ananas. Schmeckt sehr frisch. Ester auch wieder dominant. Kann man gut trinken
Hampden 8 Marks Collection aged 1 year in ex-bourbon casks. This time the second lowest ester level of the LFCH. However, I don't like it as much as the OWH. It comes across as too medicinal. You can feel the alcohol very clearly.
