Cadenhead’s Hampden LROK 2000
"Needs time in the glass," as one member put it — give it air and the pineapple and banana push forward alongside oak, a little polish and a buttery, oily palate. This is a gentler LROK: fruity Hampden ester at a very drinkable 50.9%, but several tasters found it light and a bit short rather than a big, punchy Hampden.

Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Easy, fruity Hampden that runs a bit light A well-integrated, fruit-forward 2000 Hampden that many like but few call powerful — tasters note it's light and short, and not the most complex of its vintage.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.11.2021 Another visit to "Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival and once again with special access and many very drunk people both days. Notes. Needs rest. Fruity profile with some polish and wood. The palate is kind of light and oily yet fruity. The finish medium long and dry with fruits. ABV very well integrated.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Nice Hampden that definitely needs some time to open up. Well balanced and the alcohol is very wel integrated. Maybe lacks a bit of power. Expensive for the juice that’s in the bottle
Review by Gregor
Beautiful nose! Immediately pineapple and mango but also some esters. Hardly any alcohol, very pleasant. On the palate I first taste nut (pecan), ester, pineapple, grapefruit. Very pleasant to drink but also a little lax. The finish is rather short, although the ester remains a little. I like it, but it could be a little stronger.
Review by DanielStokke
Needs time in the glass (to the dismay of the pregnant wife on the sofa next to me). The initial nose and taste seems a tad off balance but give it time and a few sips, and it takes off. The first light fruity notes (pineapple, eatery notes) quickly give way to oak, some bitterness and complementing sweetness, and butter of all things. All on balance as with the alcohol. Really good!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Has something of a Hampden/Fiji09 symbiosis. The bottle has now been open for a few months, which has done it a lot of good in my opinion. More fruit components come to the fore. Beautiful bottling with a super drinking strength.
Review by Gyuli
다른 강렬한 럼들과 함께 마셔서인지 모르겠지만 다소 묽고 심심하다고 느껴졌어요. 햄든의 대표적인 페인트와 멜론 노트가 지배적입니다. 짠맛과 함께, 밥을 오래 씹을때와 같은 단맛도 있습니다. 전체적으로 곡물향으로부터 비롯되는 달콤한 향이 매력적입니다. 고숙성이지만 맛 자체는 데일리 럼으로도 괜찮아 보입니다.
Review by Leo Krüper
Delicious, quaffable drinking Hampden. The 50% is extremely easy to drink. The price kills it, however, when you look at what otherwise comparable continental Hampden of the 2000/2001 vintages cost.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solider 2000er Hampden. Eckt nicht an, Alkohol gut integriert. Bringt alles mit was man von einem kontinentalen Hampden erwarten würde, ist aber auch kein Komplexitätsmonster bzw. sticht im Vergleich mit anderen Hampdens des Jahrgangs nicht sonderlich hervor.
