Samaroli Hampden Édition Spéciale Bar 1802 LROK 2013
Softer than you'd expect from a 58% Hampden — this LROK dials the funk back and lets elegance lead. Banana over pineapple, discreet oak, light ester and a few floral notes that don't usually survive the Hampden markers. Several French tasters call it a restrained Jamaican with real length, the alcohol nicely tucked in. One dissenter finds it sharp and young, more continental Worthy Park than classic Hampden.

#4657 16.03.2024 just relaxing with John Wick 4 and a few rums 😊 Nose Light roasted wood, fruity, light ester, light grass. Palate Warm, light roasted wood, fruity, faint grass, light ester, faint chocolate. Finish Long, fruity, light roasted wood, faint floral notes. The empty glass has some light marzipan, chocolate and faint olive.
Review by TheJackDrop
Excellent tasting evening at Bar 1802 in Paris, great advice and great discussions! It's quite a slap in the face here, with a Jamaican that's wise but not lacking in character. The funk is there, the fruit is there, the wood is discreet but heady... first Samaroli and not disappointed!
Review by Johannes
Macht wirklich Spaß! Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden, typischer Hampden Funk.
Review by Vincent D
Un nez qui dégage les marqueurs habituels de la distillerie. Je lui trouve cette fois plus de banane que d'ananas. On doit être sur un mark intermédiaire. En bouche l'attaque est vive. Fruitée et acide. Boisée et piquante. Puis très rapidement le rhum s'arrondit et devient plus sage et chaud. Vraiment agréable. Une belle réussite.
Review by Djehey
Jamaïcain tout en finesse, ça change. Belle longueur en bouche. L'intégration de l'alcool est ici aussi top... Les marqueurs de la distillerie son présents mais avec moins d'intensité et plus d'élégance. On peut même percevoir quelques notes florales ici et là.

Masterclass Samaroli pour le Rhum Club Paris / Très bel embouteillage de Samaroli, Hampden avec une belle gourmandise. Très puissant
Review by Godspeed
Disappointing continental LROK that is rather sharp and young in taste. Reminds me more of a lot of young continental Worthy Parks than the classic Hampden profile. Quickly forgotten and a sample is enough.
