The Hampden 2022 8 Marks Collection HGML Unaged 60% 200ml is a standout offering from the renowned Hampden Estate in Jamaica. Distilled at the Hampden distillery, this unaged rum is a part of an exclusive collection of 5000 bottles released in 2022. Bottled at a robust 60% ABV, this 200ml gem captures the essence of high ester rums, known for their aromatic complexity and intense flavors. The HGML marque, part of this collection, is distinguished by its longer fermentation time of five days more than the <>H marque, resulting in an exceptional concentration of esters. On the nose, expect a tropical fruit explosion with dominant pineapple, banana, and citrus notes, accompanied by hints of varnish, marzipan, and roasted aroma. The palate is a delightful journey through sweet and dry profiles, offering intense fruity flavors of overripe pineapple and banana, with a touch of peppery and fermented nuances. The finish is long and lingering, echoing woody spice, demerara sugar, tropical fruit, and a subtle nuttiness. This unaged rum showcases Hampden's signature high ester funkiness and is a treasure for rum enthusiasts eager to explore the diverse expressions from this iconic distillery.
