How does this rum taste?
RumX members highlight bright tropical fruit—pineapple and banana on the nose—leading to zesty citrus, lime and peppery spice. This unaged Hampden LROK finishes distinctly dry, a profile several say shines in a daiquiri. While some find it a bit rough or solventy neat, many enjoy the clean esters and mixability. A popular pick with 71 community reviews and a limited release of 5000 bottles.

Tasted the 8 Hampden Marks and re-tasted a year later with a better score. Very similar to last year's tasting. Slight spiciness on the nose, chalky like the OWH, wet paper. The palate is less aromatic than its predecessors, chalky with overripe apple and a fermented side that is quite present throughout the tasting. Does the chalkiness come from the distillation heads, as in cognac and armagnac? The finish is a little short but complex, with apple very present. The empty glass is warm but a little hollow. Disappointing for a LROK, whereas I found the HV RX104 absolutely magnificent.
All in all, an exciting tasting. Some of them were surprisingly delicious and tasty. The ever-popular distillery in a different light. Trying the basic product in this form has its appeal. The maturation through storage is a different matter. My platform: HLCF > HGML > C<>H Clear low-light: LROK
LROK ist nich meine Lieblings-Mark, ungereift finde ich ihn aber gar nicht übel, da er etwas herbaler und intensiver schmeckt.
Better than the LFCH, but still nasty.
