Pellegrini Hampden Origini LROK 2000
Hampden fans who like their funk on the fresh, fruity side will click with this LROK. It opens with pineapple, green apple and a whiff of nail polish, then turns creamy on the palate with tropical fruit and spice. What surprises a few tasters is a savory streak — several swear they taste smoked bacon. The catch: it runs noticeably sour, and that acidity divides people.

The look inside the bottle
How does Pellegrini Hampden Origini LROK 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Bright, sour-edged Hampden with a bacon twist A well-liked Hampden that trades heavy hogo for bright fruit and a bacon-y twist. The recurring gripe is the sourness — too much acid for some, character for others.

Quite restrained, but pleasant nose. Crazy combination of smoky bacon and green apple. Nice spice and creaminess on the palate. Great Hampden!

Basically a solid Hampden LROK. As Oliver has already analyzed, I also smell and sniff bacon. Which I've never had with Hampden, I don't know if it's my imagination. It's a little too sour for me, otherwise I would probably have given it a better rating.

Fried bacon, green apple, olive brine, Haribo pineapple and brioche with marzipan in liquid? Something about the DOK? It's crazy but you have to be up for it!
Review by Timo Groeger
Also a beautiful Hampden. The fresh ester is right on the nose. It then continues on the palate and has a lovely fruity taste. The alcohol is really well integrated, you can hardly taste it. Thanks SaibotZtar for the sample.
Review by Mentalo
Die Abfüllung hat ein angenehmes, leicht cremiges Mundgefühl. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Leider etwas zu viel Säure für mich. Fruchtige Noten gehen eher Richtung Apfel und Zitrusfrüchte. Ist grundsätzlich keine schlechte Abfüllung, aber LROK jetzt nicht mein präferiertes Mark.
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"
