    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.

    "Has something of a Hampden/Fiji09 symbiosis. The bottle has now been open for a few months, which has done it a lot of good in my opinion. More fruit components come to the fore. Beautiful bottling with a super drinking strength."

    "Solider 2000er Hampden. Eckt nicht an, Alkohol gut integriert. Bringt alles mit was man von einem kontinentalen Hampden erwarten würde, ist aber auch kein Komplexitätsmonster bzw. sticht im Vergleich mit anderen Hampdens des Jahrgangs nicht sonderlich hervor."

    "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."

    "Delicious, quaffable drinking Hampden. The 50% is extremely easy to drink. The price kills it, however, when you look at what otherwise comparable continental Hampden of the 2000/2001 vintages cost."
