Pellegrini Hampden Origini LROK 2000
People who already chase Hampden's wild ester funk are the audience here. Expect pineapple, green apple and nail polish on the nose, then a creamy palate with citrus, tropical fruit and a real sour streak. Several tasters even pick up fried bacon alongside the fruit. The 55.6% is well buried, but the acidity divides people — bring an appetite for funk.
- Wild ester funk
- Well-hidden alcohol
- Creamy mouthfeel

How does Pellegrini Hampden Origini LROK 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Funky, fruity Hampden with a sour edge Most call it a good Hampden — fresh esters, creamy mouthfeel, well-hidden alcohol. The recurring catch is sourness: a few find it a touch too acidic for their taste.

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

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
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"
