    How does this rum taste?

    The Hampden LROK 2000 is a rare Jamaican rum, aged for 20 years and bottled by Cadenhead's at a cask strength of 50.9% ABV. Users appreciate the rum’s dynamic aromatic profile, including woody, banana, and caramel notes. On the palate, tropical fruits like pineapple dominate, accompanied by woody and roasted elements with a creamy texture. Despite its complexity and limited release of 204 bottles, some find the rum expensive and slightly lacking in potency. Overall, it’s a well-balanced choice integrating alcohol smoothly, appealing to those who favor heavy-aged rums with evolving flavors that require time to develop in the glass. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of nuanced rum expressions.

    06.11.2021 Another visit to "Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival and once again with special access and many very drunk people both days. Notes. Needs rest. Fruity profile with some polish and wood. The palate is kind of light and oily yet fruity. The finish medium long and dry with fruits. ABV very well integrated.

    Nice Hampden that definitely needs some time to open up. Well balanced and the alcohol is very wel integrated. Maybe lacks a bit of power. Expensive for the juice that’s in the bottle

    Beautiful nose! Immediately pineapple and mango but also some esters. Hardly any alcohol, very pleasant. On the palate I first taste nut (pecan), ester, pineapple, grapefruit. Very pleasant to drink but also a little lax. The finish is rather short, although the ester remains a little. I like it, but it could be a little stronger.

    Needs time in the glass (to the dismay of the pregnant wife on the sofa next to me). The initial nose and taste seems a tad off balance but give it time and a few sips, and it takes off. The first light fruity notes (pineapple, eatery notes) quickly give way to oak, some bitterness and complementing sweetness, and butter of all things. All on balance as with the alcohol. Really good!
