Hampden Flensburg Rum Company Sea Shepherd LROK 2018
Most tasters like this young Hampden LROK, though a few call it "a bit young and spikey" and hot at cask strength. Expect a big hit of ester and glue over overripe pineapple, banana and passion fruit, with a light Oloroso sherry layer bringing dried fruit and a smoky, bacon-like note. One member summed it up: a real Jamaican brick.
The community says- Big ester and glue
- Ripe tropical fruit
- Hot and sharp

How does Hampden Flensburg Rum Company Sea Shepherd LROK 2018 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Loud young Hampden ester bomb, hot and sherried Well-liked young Hampden with loud ester, tropical fruit and a touch of Oloroso. The catch: at 67.5% it runs hot and sharp, and it's one of many sherried young LROKs.

Review by Timo Groeger
Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Wow, was ein Jamaicaner. In der Nase sofort erkennbar dank des Ester und der Fruchtigkeit. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls viel Ester und auch tropische Früchte. Ein echtes Brett.
Review by Lukas Jäger
For tasting as a sample directly from Kirsch. Hampden power right from the start! A young LROK with plenty of steam. Blind, I would perhaps have thought it had a little more to offer than LROK does. In addition to the usual Hampden aromas and a hint of sherry, I'm particularly surprised by the fat bacon note. I've only seen this intensity of smoke, almost like smoked meat, in a few bottlings from Hampden. Nevertheless, it remains a young Hampden with a sherry finish, of which there are unfortunately very many. But I like it better than many others!

Won a sample set of the 4 new Sea Shepherd from Kirsch. THANK YOU 🙏. Here is the 5 year continental matured LROK rum from an Oloroso cask... Nose: intense blend of esters and sherry. Sweet and sour passion fruit, pineapple and banana with yellow lemon and sulphurized apricot. Goes out the back towards pencil shavings. Ester and sherry go well together, even if I'm not so keen on sweet-sherry finishes. 8,2 Palate: nice and intense, a successful blend of esters with glue and tropical fruits like passion fruit and pineapple. Lemon and gooseberry are also present. The sherry cask clearly brings strong sweet and sulphurous aromas. Has a slightly bacony effect. Not bad at all for what it is (young and Oloroso). 8.0
Review by Master P
Sea Shepherd Hampden LROK Für ein LROK anfangs doch sehr präsente Ester-Frucht (gelbe Früchte). Beim Geschmack dezenter Sherry Einfluss und auch nicht zu süß. Im großen und ganzen eine runde sache. Würde ich wieder trinken
