How does this rum taste?
Pineapple, zesty citrus, and signature Hampden esters set the tone for this bold unaged Jamaican, delivering lively, fruity aromas with a notably dry, spicy finish. RumX tasters appreciate the characterful blend of pineapple and lime, roasty touches, and creamy notes, though some miss added depth from barrel aging. If you enjoy tropical, estery rums with a crisp edge—especially in mixed drinks—this limited release invites exploration.

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.
