$Hampden Estate The Younger 5 year old LROK VS. Unaged LROK Well, well, well, if it isnt another Hampden Estate tasting! This time its The Younger vs. its unaged counterpart, which I have from the incredible 8 Marks Collection. I had to proof down the unaged LROK from 60% to 47% ABV so that I could actually directly compare these. If you have these both at home, you should do the same! And if you dont have a refractometer, dont fret! All you need to do is some measuring and some math... or Ill do it for you. Just add 0.25 oz (plus a few drops) of water to 1 oz of unaged LROK at 60% ABV and that should get you around 47% ABV. • Hampden Estate The Younger 5 year old LROK (47% ABV) - $65-75 - Wild fermented for 5 days from molasses with low quantities of cane juice vinegar, dunder, & muck (LROK mark) - Double retort distilled in 2016 - Tropically aged for 5 years in ex-bourbon barrels (34% angels share!) - Bottled in 2021 - Total congener concentration = 1567.1 g/hlpa - Total ester concentration = 314.8 g/hlpa *_Hampden Estate Videos_* *HLCF Classic vs. Unaged HLCF (essentially Rum Fire):* https://youtu.be/UqFKKudgDS4?si U57Rz4p3rZdFtp8 *Tasting the entire Hampden Estate core range:* https://youtu.be/xug5IAbOzBQ?si=S06Vn-hKYx9Hshk8 *Hampden Estate 8 Marks Collection:* https://youtu.be/S9X8rAJcWUA?si=l_ws94rfs5FJGIVx *The Colours of Rum 29 year old Hampden Estate Rum:* https://youtu.be/zqcEIFCUjMk?si=C1CXKviun7rW9rcA *Hampden Estate 2011 7 year old LFCH:* https://youtu.be/MnMkgsothnw?si=8NuRb4zjNNHLx_Ka *Hampden Estate 5 year old DOK:* https://youtu.be/Gle46W2oeYo?si=3VIsvhV8KSvqA57Y *Blind tasting Rum Fire alongside 3 other white overproof Jamaican rums:* https://youtu.be/cYwdleLnc7Q?si=73bIiTj3zI2NoHDB *Deep Dive into High Ester Jamaican Rums:* https://youtu.be/bSOeuS7VfzE?si=3z9nSKctk2VupjSk Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thisblogsneat Read the blog: https://www.thisblogsneat.com/ Get NEAT merch: https://www.thisblogsneat.com/shop-merch Get featured bottles: https://www.thisblogsneat.com/bottle-library Shop my Amazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fitness_robyn Follow on Instagram: @ThisBlogsNEAT$
