97: Inside the Hampden 8 Marks Collection with Peppie Grant, Daniele Biondi, and Howard McCalla
Manage episode 388678457 series 2785242
In this episode, we went deep on the eight marks of Jamaica's Hampden Estate and the making of the recently released 8 Marks Collection with Peppie Grant (Tour Manager at Hampden), Daniele Biondi (Export Manager at La Maison & Velier), and Howard McCalla (Production Manager at Hampden).
Speaking with people from both Hampden and La Maison & Velier allowed us to get the full story behind the 8 Marks Collection, from the rum itself to how the release came together in the first place. We discussed:
How the idea for the 8 Marks Collection came about
Challenges in creating a unique product like this
The best ways to taste through Hampden's marks
How to approach blending marks together
Why higher ester level does not automatically make a rum more complex
What exactly is cane juice vinegar?
Whether certain marks are only made on certain stills or not
Hampden's rumored 3,000 (or even 7,000!) ester level rums
Why Jamaica limits ester levels in rum
The perils of the "high ester" descriptor
The upcoming aged version of the 8 Marks Collection
Hampden's future
And much more!
