Hampden Estate The Younger 5 year old LROK VS. Unaged LROK

Well, well, well, if it isn't another Hampden Estate tasting! This time it's 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 don't have a refractometer, don't fret! All you need to do is some measuring and some math... or I'll 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!)
