The Hampden 8 Marks Collection HLCF 2022 Unaged Rum at 60% ABV is an exceptional release from the renowned Hampden Estate in Jamaica. This limited edition rum, with only 5000 bottles produced, is part of a unique collection that allows enthusiasts to explore all eight marques in a single purchase. The 2022 HLCF release stands out with its high ester content and signature funky profile, providing a complex and memorable tasting experience. The nose reveals a vibrant mix of tropical fruits like pineapple and banana, complemented by marzipan, citrus, and a hint of solvents. On the palate, the rum is intense and dry, showcasing flavors of fermented fruit, pepper, and a touch of mint. The finish is long-lasting with notes of dark chocolate, cherry, and a slightly bitter, soapy aftertaste. While the rum is unaged, reviewers suggest that aging could further enhance its already complex profile, making it a noteworthy addition for any rum aficionado.
