"Needs time in the glass," as one member put it — give it air and the pineapple and banana push forward alongside oak, a little polish and a buttery, oily palate. This is a gentler LROK: fruity Hampden ester at a very drinkable 50.9%, but several tasters found it light and a bit short rather than a big, punchy Hampden.
The community says- Tropical fruit and ester

How does Cadenhead's Hampden LROK 2000 taste?
Summarized by AI from 27 community reviews.
Easy, fruity Hampden that runs a bit light A well-integrated, fruit-forward 2000 Hampden that many like but few call powerful — tasters note it's light and short, and not the most complex of its vintage.

Review by Tschusikowsky
Has something of a Hampden/Fiji09 symbiosis. The bottle has now been open for a few months, which has done it a lot of good in my opinion. More fruit components come to the fore. Beautiful bottling with a super drinking strength.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid 2000s Hampden. Doesn't offend, alcohol well integrated. Has everything you would expect from a continental Hampden, but is not a complexity monster nor does it particularly stand out compared to other Hampdens of the vintage.

06.11.2021 Another visit to "Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival and once again with special access and many very drunk people both days. Notes. Needs rest. Fruity profile with some polish and wood. The palate is kind of light and oily yet fruity. The finish medium long and dry with fruits. ABV very well integrated.
Review by Mentalo
Nice LROK bottling from Cadenhead and so far the best 2000s bottling I've had in the glass. Not particularly complex, but the alcohol is very well integrated and the fruity notes come out well.
Review by Leo Krüper
Delicious, quaffable drinking Hampden. The 50% is extremely easy to drink. The price kills it, however, when you look at what otherwise comparable continental Hampden of the 2000/2001 vintages cost.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Nice Hampden that definitely needs some time to open up. Well balanced and the alcohol is very wel integrated. Maybe lacks a bit of power. Expensive for the juice that’s in the bottle
Review by Gyuli
다른 강렬한 럼들과 함께 마셔서인지 모르겠지만 다소 묽고 심심하다고 느껴졌어요. 햄든의 대표적인 페인트와 멜론 노트가 지배적입니다. 짠맛과 함께, 밥을 오래 씹을때와 같은 단맛도 있습니다. 전체적으로 곡물향으로부터 비롯되는 달콤한 향이 매력적입니다. 고숙성이지만 맛 자체는 데일리 럼으로도 괜찮아 보입니다.
Review by DanielStokke
Needs time in the glass (to the dismay of the pregnant wife on the sofa next to me). The initial nose and taste seems a tad off balance but give it time and a few sips, and it takes off. The first light fruity notes (pineapple, eatery notes) quickly give way to oak, some bitterness and complementing sweetness, and butter of all things. All on balance as with the alcohol. Really good!
Review by Gregor
Beautiful nose! Immediately pineapple and mango but also some esters. Hardly any alcohol, very pleasant. On the palate I first taste nut (pecan), ester, pineapple, grapefruit. Very pleasant to drink but also a little lax. The finish is rather short, although the ester remains a little. I like it, but it could be a little stronger.
Review by Michael Schou
01-03-2025 Had expected more. More of everything. Not a strong Hampden nose. Not much taste earth. Short aftertaste. Perhaps its the low mark, but have tastet better LROK’s before
Review by Michal Slávik
Beautiful fruity Hampden, a complete explosion of tropical fruit and oil in the mouth at the end.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2000. With 8.3 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not top of my list.
