Kinghaven Hampden Premium Single Cask Rum LROK 2007
Sipped neat, this is a full-throttle Hampden: overripe pineapple and banana up front, with a big blast of esters and a "nail salon" chemical note riding alongside the fruit. At 62% it hits like an ester steamroller that fills the whole mouth, then fades fairly quickly. Several tasters swear it drinks more like a C<>H than the LROK mark on the label.
The community says- Overripe pineapple
- Big ester funk

Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Fruity, high-ester Hampden with nail-salon funk Loved by Hampden fans for its intense tropical fruit and funk, though a few find the solvent/glue side over their level. Many note it drinks more like C<>H than LROK.

Everything you would expect from a Hampden. Great bottling! Reminds more of a C<>H than a LROK.

... Hampden, legendarni jamajska destilerka, ktera krome rumu produkuje take alkohol do parfemu. Ve vsech rumech z teto destilerky ucitite divoke estery, po kterych cely vas organizmus nasakne vuni zluteho tropickeho ovoce - manga, papaji, anansu, broskvi. Jeden z rumu, ktere "must try before die"
Review by Johannes
Leider einen Whisky Note, die ich nicht so mag. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich zuletzt nicht einen anderen Rum im Glas hatte. Dieses Sample ist ein perfekter Hampden. Ich habe nichts auszusetzen.

Really horny Hampden! Could almost be a dokl
Review by RumTaTa
Tasted together with the Rumclub HD 2000 ED.21 (LROK, RX11190) and Kill Devil Jamaica 2007 (C<>H, RX1921)Already the color is more similar to the 07'er.Nose: Stronger than the ED.21 but more one-sided. Powerful esters and overripe pineapple and a little marzipan. Again great similarity to 07'er C<>Mouth: an ester steamroller! The entire mouth space is immediately filled. Alcohol and barrel influence show through. But the flavor explosion also dissipates relatively quickly. Almost identical taste and mouthfeel on the C<>H.Finish: The barrel influence gets stronger. Kingsheaven and Kill Devil are virtually indistinguishable.I am now certain: the Mark LROK on the Kingsheaven is a mistake. Blind I would not be able to tell the Kill Devil and the Kingsheaven apart.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Very solid 2007 C<>H, with a LROK as noted on the bottle has nothing to do. See him but rather in the lower midfield of the known 2007 bottlings.
Review by Filip Šikula
Marka C<>H je moje jednoznačně nejiblíbenější hampden marka, a ač tady tvrdí bottler LROK tak bych ho rozhodně netipnul. Jedná se o krásný ovocný kousek, plný ananasu a banánů ve vůni i chuti. Moc hezké.
Review by Djehey
Intense en bouche, de longueur moyenne à courte. Un vrai côté bonbon. Il a un nez intéressant, avec un côté fromage aigre pas désagréable... Qui a dit vieille chaussette qui pue ? Bon rapport qualité prix
Review by Gil Firth
טעימה יופי של דבר. המארק הזה הוא ללא ספק מהטובים אם לא הכי טוב שיש להאמפדן להציע. בקבוק טוב מאוד, עשיר, טרופי, אסטרי, חזק. מרגישים שהוא בהיר ואת האמת אני אוהב את ההוצאה האלה שהם לא ביישון טרופי. חייב להגיד שהיו עליו מספר מבצעים שחתכו אותו ב30-40 אחוז במחיר. עדין לא קניתי. יש כל כך הרבה אלטרנטיבות ודברים מקבילים שהם יותר טובים. ועדין... רום טוב מאוד.
Review by Nika
Nice one. Very drinkable. There are esters, a bit of rubber, banana. Nothing to be distanced from :)
Review by martin slezák
Farba zlatistá Vôňa estery, ovocie, slivky, Chuť tropické ovocie, prezreté banány, ananás, estery, ovocná sladkosť dobre integrovaný alkohol Záver dlhý tropické ovocie a estery Silnejšie estery ako by som čakal na LROK ale baví ma
Review by Jindrich Strobl
In the beginning too much of the nose/taste that doesn't resemble anything edible. After few sips banana and tropical fruits come which is nicely rewarding. But still perhaps over my current expertise level.
