Old Brothers Hampden Brut d'alambic 86,3 LROK 2018
Anyone who chases unaged Hampden at full throttle will want a look here. Bottled at a wild 86.3%, this LROK is white, raw and surprisingly drinkable for the strength — several tasters were caught off guard by that. Expect citrus, olive, green vegetal notes and a whiff of anise rather than the usual pineapple bomb; the fruit sneaks in after it sits in the glass.

A very nicely varied nose, the ABV is relatively restrained, the fruit, plant and spice components harmonize. On the palate it is naturally quite oily and heavy. 86% cannot be denied, but it is easy to drink. Fruit and plant aromas here too. The same goes for the finish. A successful bottling

Olala, quite a challenge to drink this neat. But I was still surprised that it works. Unfortunately, it's not necessarily what I need in my glass every day. The rest was made more drinkable with a little cola. I like it a little better there, but it's not entirely convincing either.
Review by Serge
Wow, when I poured it I thought: I would have imagined it to be completely different. At first there was hardly any pineapple (which I would have expected to be more in the foreground here), but rather citrus fruits, plants, olives and actually something along the lines of aniseed or liquorice. After a while in the glass, however, a few of the typical fruit attributes join in.
Review by Master P
... Hampden, die legendäre jamaikanische Destillerie, die sowohl Rum als auch Alkohol für Parfüm herstellt. In allen Rums aus dieser Brennerei werden Sie wilde Ester schmecken, nach denen Ihr ganzer Organismus den Duft von goldenen tropischen Früchten - Mango, Papaya, Ananas, Pfirsich - aufsaugt. Einer der Rums, die man probieren muss.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice and intense profile. Needs to rest for a good while to release all the flavours. Fruity with nice spices topped with a light floral touch. Thr floral note is more obvious in the empty glass.
Review by Mentalo
Die 86,3% Volumenprozent merkt man der Abfüllung nicht an. Der ist erstaunlich gut trinkbar, auch wenn der Alkohol natürlich präsent ist Auch mit der ein oder anderen sprittigen Noten. War trotzdem positiv überrascht. Fruchtig, pflanzlich, Olive und etwas Zitrusfrucht.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... 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"
