Cadenhead‘s Hampden JMLR LROK 2000
Opinions land in a decent-but-not-thrilling spot here. It's an unmistakable Hampden — wild esters, mango, pineapple, that savory Maggi/lovage note and a faint smoke on the end. At 63.2% and only 8 years, several tasters felt the alcohol isn't fully tucked in; one wished for "5% less" to let the creaminess through. Lots of tropical fruit, a bit raw.
- Tropical fruit esters
- Distinct Hampden funk
- Citrus and pineapple

How does Cadenhead‘s Hampden JMLR LROK 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Young, fruity Hampden with rough edges Clearly Hampden and full of tropical-fruit esters, but most find the high ABV not quite integrated for 8 years. Enjoyable and interesting rather than a knockout.

10.02.2012 Nice little private tasting with a few friends in the back of this old bar. Notes Light in colour. Nose Fresh, wood, light roasted, banana, light caramel, light vegetal, light ester. Palate Fresh, wood, light roasted, pineapple, caramel, faint floral, light chocolate, light ester. Finish Medium to long, wood, fruits, light caramel.
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 Johannes
Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Von einem 2000er Hampden habe ich mir etwas mehr erwartet. Neben fruchtigen, leicht muffige Noten.
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.
