How does this rum taste?
Punchy sherried Hampden power
If you enjoy cask strength Hampden like LROK or similar indie sherried Jamaicans, this takes that profile up a notch with extra power, funk and a meaty Oloroso edge.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to 60%+ ABV, or drinkers who dislike funky esters, glue notes or the slightly sulphury side of sherry finishes.

Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Wow, was ein Jamaicaner. In der Nase sofort erkennbar dank des Ester und der Fruchtigkeit. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls viel Ester und auch tropische Früchte. Ein echtes Brett.
For tasting as a sample directly from Kirsch. Hampden power right from the start! A young LROK with plenty of steam. Blind, I would perhaps have thought it had a little more to offer than LROK does. In addition to the usual Hampden aromas and a hint of sherry, I'm particularly surprised by the fat bacon note. I've only seen this intensity of smoke, almost like smoked meat, in a few bottlings from Hampden. Nevertheless, it remains a young Hampden with a sherry finish, of which there are unfortunately very many. But I like it better than many others!
Auto-translatedWon a sample set of the 4 new Sea Shepherd from Kirsch. THANK YOU 🙏. Here is the 5 year continental matured LROK rum from an Oloroso cask... Nose: intense blend of esters and sherry. Sweet and sour passion fruit, pineapple and banana with yellow lemon and sulphurized apricot. Goes out the back towards pencil shavings. Ester and sherry go well together, even if I'm not so keen on sweet-sherry finishes. 8,2 Palate: nice and intense, a successful blend of esters with glue and tropical fruits like passion fruit and pineapple. Lemon and gooseberry are also present. The sherry cask clearly brings strong sweet and sulphurous aromas. Has a slightly bacony effect. Not bad at all for what it is (young and Oloroso). 8.0
Auto-translatedSea Shepherd Hampden LROK Für ein LROK anfangs doch sehr präsente Ester-Frucht (gelbe Früchte). Beim Geschmack dezenter Sherry Einfluss und auch nicht zu süß. Im großen und ganzen eine runde sache. Würde ich wieder trinken
