The Jamaica Single Cask Rum Double Cask Matured LROK, crafted at Hampden Distillery, showcases the artistry of rum-making with its 23-year aging in cask and a potent ABV of 59.3%. Bottled by The Rum Cask, this rum is noted for its tropical fruit and ester aroma, highlighted by notes of pineapple, marzipan, and wood.

"Very interesting experiment, which turned out pretty good. The long finish in the C<>H cask definitely added to the LROK profile. There is a additional fruitiness on the nose, providing additional complexity. On the palate, the 2000 LROK is dominating. However, throughout a Glas of this bottling, hints of the finish are coming through. This makes for a quite interesting tasting experience, giving a lot to unpack."

"Ein sehr gut gelungenes Experiment… die Nase ist gegenüber ungefinishgem LROK sehr fruchtig und süßlich .. am Gaumen wieder mehr klassisch LROK, wobei auch hier ein wenig Aromen des C<>H durchkommen. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden."

"Verkostet auf der Pueblo del Ron Nürnberg 2024. Für mich eine schöne Überraschung auf der Messe und wieder eine gelungene Abfüllung von TheRumCask. Da ich ihn mehrmal probiert habe und ein gut Zeit im Glas gelassen habe, gar nicht so schlecht für einen LROK. Das legendäre Fass vom 1990 C<>H kann man schon schmecken. Leider aber trotzdem nicht die Überbombe auf die ich gehofft hatte. Der Preis für einen 23jährigen finde ich hier angemessen."

"Der TRC im direkten Vergleich mit dem Rumclub Ed. 21. Auch wenn beide kontinentale 2000er LROK sind, und der TRC nur 2 Jahre länger im Fass lag, kein ganz fairer Vergleich, denn der TRC hat einen fast 10 Prozentpunkte höheren ABV. Da kommt an der Nase und am Gaumen einfach mehr Power rüber. Davon abgesehen, fällt mir auf, dass der TRC süsslicher an der Nase daher kommt, mit kandierten Früchten. Daneben Kuchengewürz und vergorene Früchte. Der RC kommt mehr über Sauerrahm und Weingummi. Am Gaumen überrascht der RC dann mit fast genauso röstig-würzigem Profil. Hatte der RC 82 Punkte, gehe ich beim TRC auf 83."
