The Single Cask (French Market) LROK is a standout Jamaican rum from Hampden, distilled from molasses and aged for 5 years. Its aromatic profile unfolds with hints of ester, nail polish, fruity nuances, chocolate, and vibrant red fruits. On the palate, sour cherry mingles with barrel and woody notes, rounded off by a subtle ester presence. Our community of RumX members praises its complex layers and well-integrated alcohol, though some find it a tad too sweet.

Sorry about that, but I don't like this bottling at all, it immediately reminded me of the Habitation Velier Hampden LROK ex-sherry cask RX21809. Which I also found subterranean. Somehow the two have quite a lot in common and I really don't like either of them. Mediocre but not my taste at all.
Very interesting. Meaty, a little eucalyptus or smoke. Strikes a balance between TECA and Hampden. I quite like it, but I wouldn't have recognized it blind. But it would be nothing for a whole bottle. Alcohol very well integrated
Kleine Reihenverkostung: RX22310 und RX21809 sind ungewöhnliche Hampdens mit stark vergorenem Obst und sauren Noten. Beide sehr ähnlich, doch der RX21809 sticht für mich mit besonders unangenehmen Eindrücken hervor. Der Rest des Samples wandert in den MaiTai
Hampden Tasting, Rum No. 3. I had expected typical Hampden in the glass and was completely (positively) surprised by the RX9242. Here comes the next positive surprise. Not much of the Hampden and funky Jamaica remains in this rum, or is subtly pushed into the background. Raisins, chocolate and dark fruits, especially sour cherries, dominate here. Very sweet with a lot of barrel influence. The alcohol is very well integrated. Very tasty, but a little too sweet for me to give it a higher rating.
