25.08.2025 Retasting and I still find it pretty good and the price at release was also pretty good. ------------------- 09.05.2016 Evening out with colleagues and good rums. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, wood, roasted, fruity, banana, earthy. Palate Round, fresh, wood, light roasted, fruity, citrus, naturally sweet. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, pineapple, citrus, faint herbs.
Review by Jakob
A brute fruit bomb. Intense in both the fruit and alcohol impact. Overall a little too unbalanced.
Review by Alex Kunath
A little lacking in power on the nose. A little too sour on the tongue? Otherwise quite ok
Review by Gil Firth
טעימה אצל חבר ברגיל, מארק מעולה. בקבוק דיי ישיר אבל איכותי מאוד. האמפדן קונטיננטלי ברמה גבוהה. כל הטרופיות. מלח. זיתים. בננה. כל כך מטעים למארק הזה Lrok יופי של רום לא מורכב מידיי אבל אינטנסיבי ומאוד מאוד טעים.
Review by Carl-Johan Thulin
Great sweetness, a lot of tropical fruit and a lot of alcohol flavor. Flavorful but unbalanced.
Review by bossi
Oops, the Cadenheads hits the nose a little more than the comparison candidates - the alcohol is a little more present. Glue aromas are also more in the foreground. The rest is also quite typical of LROK hampden. On the palate, it is not as herbal as the TRC, but the fruit - especially the pineapple - is more dominant, which I personally find more appealing. However, the alcohol is much more prominent than in the TRC Hampden 2000 12yo and is even a little disturbing compared to the TRC. Also to be found here: an impetuous, long, angular finish. 81 points
