Romdeluxe Hampden Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 44 LROK 2020
Best sipped neat with 20-30 minutes of air to settle the heat. This young Hampden LROK spent time in oloroso, and that sherry shows: cherry, banana and vanilla up front, marzipan and dried fruit on a creamy, spicy palate. The ester funk is there but muted — several tasters felt the cask "overpowers" the Hampden DNA. Rounded and drinkable, if a touch flat.
The community says- Creamy fruity nose
- Rounded and balanced
- Sherry dominates funk

How does Romdeluxe Hampden Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 44 LROK 2020 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Sherried Hampden, rounded but muted funk Well-liked as an easy Hampden sipper, but opinions split: the oloroso cask smooths and dominates, leaving less of the wild ester funk people expect. Hot and peppery for some.

26-27.01.2024 Hanse Spirit Retasting and still like it a lot. ---------------------- #4564 20.01.2024 Relaxing a bit today ☺️ This is a pretty good release. The ABV could have been better integrated, but resting it for a good 30+ minutes will do it good. Nice fruity profile overall and the nose is intense with some ester and light marzipan. The palate is intense and spicy with nice fruit and light esters. The finish is long and warm with nice fruits. The empty glass has some light caramel and faint nutts.

Good sipper ... LROK gene still to feel.... nevertheless, the storage in the Oloroso barrel is too much for me personally .It does not destroy the rum completely but predominates yet very much .cherry,banana and vanilla arrive in the nose and on the palate ... quite ok but clearly too expensive
Review by DomM
Nice easy sipper. The Hampden DNA is noticeable, however the sherry clearly dominates. Fruity and creamy.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Hatte von den ganzen Eindrücken keine großen Erwartungen und gar nicht mal so schlecht. Gehe auf 80/100 und im Mai Tai untere 3/5
Review by Serge
Gut. Mir hat der Sherry gefallen, und der Rum war recht lecker. Aber irgendwie hat er mich nicht abgeholt. Und die circa 130 pro Flasche war er mir nicht wert.
Review by w00tAN
Ist schon lecker, Ananas, Ester halt Funk in der Nase. Im Mund dann cremig Honig aber auch Würze und natürlich Alkohl und Esternoten. Ist schönes Zeug keine Frage aber mit etwas zu Platt insbesondere zu dem Kurs.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Gut zu trinken. Sehr rund und ausgewogen. Hat aber kaum Hampden-Noten geschweige denn sonst wie ausgeprägte Geschmacksnoten. Der Rum lässt einen mit einem angenehmen Gefühl zurück ohne irgendwelche Ecken und Kanten oder irgendwelche Wiedererkennungsmerkmale zu haben. Viel mehr darf man nach 2 Jahren kontinentaler Lagerung auch nicht erwarten. Insofern ein gutes Produkt. Woher dann der aufgerufene Messepreis von 135€ kommt, ist mir allerdings schleierhaft. So schön ist die Eule auch nicht.
Review by zabo
Verkostet auf der Pueblo del Ron Nürnberg 2024. Das Gespräch mit den Jungs von Romdeluxe hat leider viel mehr Spaß gemacht, als der Rum selbst. Kann man trinken muss man aber nicht. Ist o.k., aber soviel Geld würde ich dafür nicht ausgeb.
Review by Master P
Riechen tut er wunderbar nach hampden funky flavour, aber geschmacklich mir zu alkoholisch und pfeffrig.
