Aroma visualization from community tastings
Cadenhead‘s Hampden JMLR LROK 2000
Opinions land on the positive side but with reservations: it's a young Hampden showing wild esters and a burst of tropical fruit — mango, pineapple, citrus — plus that savoury Maggi-and-lovage note LROK is known for. At 63.2% the alcohol pokes through, and a few tasters felt eight years just wasn't long enough to round it off. Fruit-forward and lively rather than polished.
The community says- Tropical fruit burst
- Savoury Maggi note
- Hot at 63%

How does Cadenhead‘s Hampden JMLR LROK 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Young cask-strength Hampden, fruity and a bit raw A surprising, fruity young Hampden most enjoy — but several think the heat isn't fully tamed and it'd have gained from a few more years in wood.

Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Von einem 2000er Hampden habe ich mir etwas mehr erwartet. Neben fruchtigen, leicht muffige Noten.
Review by Jakob
Überraschend positiv für das junge Alter. Wuchtige Fruchtaromen, etwas junges Holz, dezente Gewürze und Süsse - primär bleiben aber die eindrücklichen tropischen Früchte. Und mit Release im Jahr 2008 schon fast ein Stück Rumhistorie…
Review by Leo Krüper
Interessanter junger alter Hampden. Leider hintenraus etwas unausgewogen. 5% weniger Alk hätten hier gut getan, dann wäre die Cremigkeit deutlich besser durchgekommen.
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"
Review by Frank
Day 1 in the Christmas calendar. Blind. Sure Jamaica. But would not have guessed Hampden, rather New Yarmouth or Long Pond! The alcohol was not that noticeable, so already well integrated. Pleasant nose, only slight ester notes. Fruity and vanilla with a distinct lovage note at the back.On the palate, the nose is confirmed. Out the back still a light but fat smokiness.Overall a good and somewhat surprising rum.
