Anyone who already loves Hampden's ester funk will find a lot to like here. It's a 16-year, cask-strength LROK that leans hard into pineapple and banana, with a floral, perfumed nose and warm tropical fruit on the palate. A few tasters noticed how little oak shows for its age, and a couple found it lighter and more watered-down than expected at 54.6%.

How does Excellence Rhum Hampden LROK 2000 taste?
Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.
Floral, fruity Hampden with light body Loved as a fresh, floral, fruit-forward Hampden. Most rate it high, though several feel it's a touch light on the palate and lacking a little complexity for the age.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Slightly older tasting. Nice and fresh Hampden with a very nice and floral nose and a warm palate with fruit. Made a note that the empty glass had a light smoky note to it.
Review by Timo Groeger
Next up, a very good Hampden. I’m repeating myself, but clearly, tropical fruits, especially pineapple and banana, are recognizable, as well as of course esters. However, I find it slightly watered down and a bit weak on the chest.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Quite a floral, fruity nose. Not a trace of wood, which is astonishing for a rum of this age. On the other hand, the palate is much darker, not unpleasant but lacking a little balance. A surprising profile for Hampden.
Review by Johannes
Very high standard, even if it lacks some complexity for me.

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".
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2000. I rate it 8.4 out of 10, very good rum.
Review by Richard Krupa
A finer sweet floral scent, the taste also pleasantly mild and fruity.
