Hampden 8 MARKS COLLECTION LFCH 2022
Sipped neat, this is unaged Hampden at its rawest: solvent, glue and green apple up front, then pineapple, citrus and a nutty, cherry-yogurt edge. At 60% it's dry and a touch bitter, and most tasters find it the quietest, flattest mark of the eight. Several who tried it in cola found it far friendlier than in the glass.
The community says- Green apple, citrus
- Fruity empty glass
- Flat, one-note

The look inside the bottle
How does Hampden 8 MARKS COLLECTION LFCH 2022 taste?
Aggregated from 79 community reviews.
Raw, dry unaged Hampden, the quiet mark A study piece more than a sipper. Tasters call it the least convincing of the 8 Marks — fruity but thin, dry and a bit fade — though a few enjoy the nutty, apple side and swear by it with Pepsi.

Des fruits vinaigrés avec toujours pas mal de gourmandise en fin de bouche avec qlq'chose de fumé voir torrefié
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Der nächste leckere Rum aus der 8 Marks Kollektion. Finde ich etwas besser als den ersten. Leichte Noten von Kakao oder Schokolade sind zu erkennen aber auf der anderen seite auch sehr fruchtig. Interessanter Rum
Review by cigares
Tasting of the 8 Hampden Marks and re-tasting one year later. The tasting is very similar to that of last year. The chalky nose of the OWH has been erased, replaced by solvent and glue, with fruit - including fig - coming later. The palate is thinner than the OWH, but the solvents have almost disappeared and the fruit has taken over. It's longer, with lots of fruit. The empty glass is very fruity, like a tropical orchard, and the solvents reappear.
Review by Timo Groeger
Weiter geht's. Dieser Rum hat satte 60%. Er schmeckt leicht fruchtig und meiner Meinung nach auch leicht alkoholisch. Ist jetzt Keim Spitzenklasse-Rum aber doch ganz okay. Mal sehen, was die anderen Rums aus der Collection sagen.
Review by TheJackDrop
Dégustation du coffret Hampden 8 marks entre copains ! Un bon lundi ! Notes rapides : Amertume, Poivre, pamplemousse, Vernis à ongles Assez sec quand même Étonnant je ne m’attendais pas forcément à ça. Finale un peu trop sèche et courte. Édit : bien savoureux tout de même avec de l’ananas très mûr que je n’avais pas eu la première fois.
Review by Alex1981
Tried at the Hampden Masterclass with Daniele Biondi during Whisky Live. Great experience to deconstruct Hampden, although the individual unaged spirits weren’t that great overall. 2. LFCH 5.5 Boring, close to Vodka for me. Didn’t like at all. Not sure if it is my palate or the pour stood too long, vastly different than the others.
Review by Portman
Nicht meine Lieblings-Mark, aber schön fruchtig, herb und ein bisschen adstringierend.
Review by Leo Krüper
Unidentifiable alcoholic distillate. Smells like the mix you refused from your best buddy at a party when you were 16 and then ended up drinking anyway, only to throw up 2 hours later.
Review by PRV
LFCH - классный звонкий спирт. Фруктов больше, тропические, концентрированный лимонный сок, намеки на ласковость. Хвосты тоже ощущаются. Вкус питкий, даже не колкий. Тропические фрукты, баланс кислого и сладкого, приятная терпкость.
Review by Tim
Kenne die Chemie deines Hampden-Rums! Das 8-Marks-Set ist sehr informativ und lehrreich. Das LROK-Mark hat zwar keinen hohen Estergehalt, ist aber sehr vielfältig, was mir gut gefällt. Leider ist modrige Note im Mund sehr präsent, was mir wiederum nicht gefällt.
Review by Master P
spannendes Tasting. Einige waren für mich überraschenderweise äusserts lecker und schmackhaft. Die allseits beliebte Destilliere in einem anderen Licht. Das Grundprodukt in dieser Form zu versuchen hat seinen Reiz. Die Reife durch die Lagerung ist dann doch eine andere Hausnummer. Ich hab am Schluss alle 8 Marks zusammen geschüttet und 3 Wochen stehen gelassen, ich muss sagen Top. Alle 8 zusammen ergeben echt ein gutes Profil.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one has a nice nutty touch to the fruity notes. Lightly dry and has a lovely nose in the empty glass.
Review by Johannes
The mark LFCH does not really make sense to me as a white rum. Tropically stored the rum wins, but unstored he is rather uninteresting-although no off notes are present.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Part of today's 8 marks tasting with Daniele from Velier. LFCH already feels a bit more complex, mustiness still there but more in the back.
Review by Frank
… der zweite der 8-Marks-Collection. Nase: wie der OWH ist Spülmittel dominierend. Ebenso hat er für mich eine angenehme Kischjoghurt-Note. Hinzu kommen wieder Limette und Organe. Hinzu kommt noch säuerlicher, grüner Apfel. Insgesamt auf der fruchtigen Seite. Ester sind trotz der 4 Tage Fermentation nicht wirklich zu vernehmen, am ehesten in der buttrigem Joghurt-Note. Gaumen: kommt recht cremig-süßlich-würzig. Der Kardamom-Geschmack ist etwas intensiver als beim OWH, wird aber von Süßholz begleitet. Etwas fette Nuss mischt sich hinzu. An Frucht finde ich Kirsche. Hinten Wetter er etwas seifig. Hampden erkenne ich kaum, Ester sind nicht herauszuschmecken, ist aber erstaunlich aromatisch.
Review by Henry Davies
Second of the marques. A bit more overripe that the first and not much improved. The nose is fruitier with raspberry and overripe fruit. Nutty and fermented fruit on the mouth. The finish is chocolate and petrol with overripe fruit.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
The apple from the OWH is suddenly joined by a whole fruit basket of pineapple, banana and, surprisingly, cherry and almond! It's also subtly reminiscent of fruit yoghurt! The solvent note recedes into the background, replaced by the taste of cocoa nibs and slight, rather negative petrol associations in the finish. Much more pleasant and rounder than the OWH, but still room for improvement.

Le moins intéressant de la série, vraiment pas compris, il manque un peu de tout. A passer.
