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.

Wild white Hampden LROK at a huge 86.3% Reviewers agree the 86% hides better than it should, but this is a serious challenge neat — one drinker found it easier stretched with cola.

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, the legendary Jamaican distillery that produces both rum and alcohol for perfume. In all rums from this distillery, you will taste wild esters that make your whole body absorb the scent of golden tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you have to try.
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
You don't notice the 86.3% alcohol by volume in this bottling. It's surprisingly drinkable, even though the alcohol is obviously present, also with some spritzy notes. Still, I was positively surprised. Fruity, vegetal, olive, and a bit of citrus fruit.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, the legendary Jamaican distillery that besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery, you can smell wild esters, after which your whole body soaks up the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".

Vintage 2018. I rate it 8.5 out of 10, excellent rum that ranks high even among my more than 1,300 ratings.
