8 MARKS COLLECTION DOK

Full cannon ester in the cheeks! This is a product where you can and should enjoy every drop. Am glad to have gotten the Collection.

There's a certain danger here)))) don't bring it close to the fire!!!!! Toxicomaniacs will be thrilled...I guess I've become one now that I've gotten this far. The quintessential funk! Tropical storm! Fruity acid rain. Refinery. It's impossible to comprehend. But it's beautiful!!! Unspeakable flavor! A shock and a high. I don't feel like writing anything anymore. I'm exhausted.

Für mich der beste .Hammer Teil..

Hampton 8 Marks Collection, hier der DOK mit dem höchsten Estergehalt. In Nase und Gaumen natürlich überwiegend Ester, aber auch tropische Früchte sind erkennbar. In der Nase außerdem etwas Klebstoff, am Gaumen wirkt er überreif und vergoren.

Dies ist der beste der Serie. Kein Zweifel, es ist DOK mit all seinen schönen Estern, die am Gaumen explodieren.

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. 8. DOK 8.3 Bam! Ester in your face as expected. Full range of Hampden notes and already great without aging. Works best out of the 8 marks and now I know why also other DOKs only beed a few years to reach peak performance. Fantastic experience to dive into this vertical.

Definitely my favorite of the series! I would not have thought!

Tasting with LROK, HLCF, and C<>H. The legendary DOK did not disappoint; intense as almost any other rum at 60% comes, but delicious and complex. So fruity, with so much umami; a great balance of overripe fruit, spices, and notes reminiscent of smoked meat or movie popcorn.

Know the chemistry of your Hampden Rum! The 8 Marks set is very informative and educational. The DOK mark takes the ester content to the extreme. This mark consists mainly of butyrate molecules (citrus, pineapple, banana). On the nose, moreover, artificial nail polish, floral and fermented. In the mouth, overachievingly sweet, yet dry and funky. Acidity as well as associations with sour fruits.

Die für DOK für mich typische BBQ note begrüßt einen schon direkt an der Nase. Dazu ordentlich funk, ester, Klebstoff, Nagellack Entferner und tropische Früchte. Auf perverse Art ist das ganz aber ungewöhnlich süffig, hoch aromatisch und ausgewogen! 😄 Sicher mega als amplifier in diversen tiki cocktails, pur eher was um Leuten zu zeigen wie viel Ester man tatsächlich machen kann bei Hampden!😄 Insgesamt aber nicht der beste unaged DOK den ich kenne.

Dégustation du coffret Hampden 8 marks entre copains ! Un bon lundi ! Notes rapides : L’explosion d’Ester est la, le nez est excessif sur les solvants et le vernis, En bouche les fruits et le gras apporte une douceur, une dualité qui combat cette grosse claque d’esters. Finale quand même assez sèche. C’est un peu monolithique et trop droit pour avoir envie d’en reprendre mais une expérience intéressante! Édit : pas grand chose à redire il met une claque au palais, mais c’est quand même bon !

Part of today's 8 marks tasting with Daniele from Velier. Some sweetness present, besides tropical fruit I get some raspberry.

And now the eighth and last of the 8 Marks Collection. DOK! All in. Lots of Dunder, lots of Muck Pit, 25 days of fermentation... NOSE: ESTER!!! And they cut into the mucous membranes. Intense sweet and sour pineapple, lots of vinegar, marzipan sweetness, tart and sweet maple syrup. And glue, finally 😉. A DOK as it should be. An intense ester bomb.Palate: very intense esters here too. Plus totally intense sweet and sour pineapple with marzipan. There is actually some licorice added. Also, very astringent and about umami.In summary, I can say that the different Hampden marks can be experienced very well and very clearly with these unaged samples. But only if you taste them immediately after pouring. If they are left to air for too long, the respective character is totally lost and only tart and veg notes (mainly cardamom for me) remain. And I'm pleasantly surprised at what barrel aging can still bring out of (especially low-ester) Marks. While it almost doesn't matter with a DOK whether it's aged 10 or 20 years, it has a huge, positive impact on the low-ester HD.Overall, a fantastic set that's second to none. 👍👍👍

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.

Al naso e’ molto pungente con note di solventi mentre al palato e’ molto liscio. Una bomba di esteri come mi aspettavo
