Hampden Estate distillery offers a set of 8 rums. Each rum is identified by a "mark" indicating its ester concentration, measured in grams per hectoliter of alcohol. By varying the raw materials, as well as the duration and method of fermentation, the distillery produces a wide range of intense and aromatic rums. This second edition of 8 Marks allows rum enthusiasts to taste the same varieties after one year of tropical climate aging in ex-bourbon barrels.
