Sipped neat, this Hampden LROK drinks softer than its 56% suggests — tasters keep noting how the alcohol nearly disappears in the glass. Expect esters and glue up front, overripe banana and pineapple, then charred wood, smoke and a bit of leather. One member called the palate "cremig weich" (creamy soft), rounding out a medium-dry, slightly bitter woody finish. Drink it fresh; several say the fruit fades to wood if it sits.

How does Blackadder Hampden Raw Cask Rum LROK 2000 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Fruity, smoky Hampden that drinks softer than 56% Widely rated the top of the LROK line: fruity, full-bodied esters balanced by smoky oak. A few find the wood dominates a touch and the finish turns bitter, but most call it a lovely Hampden.

Review by Adrian Wahl
That's where the action is. One of the best LROK I've ever had. Correct nevertheless after eight months my rating from 87 to 86.
Review by Thunderbird
Tasting evening at Dr. Django (Jamaica): The Black Adder shows quite a bit of power, although it doesn't have such a high ABV. Very classic Hampden essence on the nose, perfect drinking strength on the palate, creamy and smooth, then presenting a full range of aromas. The finish is of medium length. A great bottling.
Review by Leo Krüper
See good Hampden. Classic almonds, butyric acid. Great Hampden and the bits of ash in the bottle have flair too.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nose Fruity mango,annas, papaya some banana.... slight glue note and minimal wood. Alcohol almost not noticeable even when the nose is deep in the glass 😅. On the palate -->immediately spreads fruity and ne Kannte wood (slightly bitter) .... fills despite the lower ABV the Mundrum beautiful . Finish is then rather bitter and woody but not disturbing . Beautiful LROK in great quality.

01.11.2019 Den Dansk Rom & Whiskyfestival This was my first visit to this two day event, where everything is included in the ticket. Also the first event where I have seen so many extremely drunk people. This event usually just has what's considered mainstream products, but luckily my friend had the right contacts so for a premium we had our own little collection to go through. Today I get free a free ticket if I want to attend 😊 This is a great rum. Medium intense with very nice fruit and esters. Palate is well balanced and medium dry with nice fruits. Made a note that I liked the smoky note and that I got the glass with most tiny wood pieces.
Review by Timo Groeger
Next up is the Tour de France, hopefully a somewhat more exciting stage today. Here's a really good Hampden, Ester recognizable again and the overripe tropical fruits banana and pineapple as well as glue.
Review by Beancheese
Tasted at the incredible Rum Bar Room in Tokyo (September 2024). I asked for a Hampden for my second tasting and this was the selection/recommendation from the kind and knowledgeable bartender and owner. A very nice Hampden and a great LROK. All the classic notes - esters, fruit, balanced nicely with wood and smokey, leathery notes.
Review by Dr.Django
The first sip doesn't really convince yet, but once the palate gets used to this LROK, it really is fun! Typical low ester Jamaican, which also brings a certain salty-sweet smokiness. Thanks for the sample @Saibot
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Esters, overripe fruits like banana and pineapples with smoky note. Light leather notes and woody notes. Light vanilla notes. Taste: Very fruity, esters, light glue notes. Smoky notes. Round. Then you get woody notes especially after the rum has been sitting in the glass for a while and fruity notes fade away. Finish:Esters, light pineapple notes. More spice notes and woody notes on the finish. Quite dry and little bit of bitter finish. LROK-mark has not really worked for me, but this rum was quite something else. Full bodied and very fruity with LROK level of intensity, it felt like this one really reached its full potential. I would recommend drinking this right away, because as this rum sits in the glass it kind loses its fruity notes and becomes more woody.
Review by Chrischi78
Very good LROK. Nice soft warm mouthfeel despite the prominent ester notes. Even though LROKs will never be my preferred Hampden mark, this one is really a great pleasant representative!
Review by Oliver
Really horny Hampden for relaxing Not too much ester and perfectly balanced Great cinema!
Review by Johannes
Alcohol could be a bit better integrated. Still a very good rum!
Review by Mentalo
2000s LROK from Blackadder. Marzipan, tropical fruits, esters and wood. Pleasantly creamy with a slight sweetness. However, not quite as nicely balanced. Woody notes dominate somewhat and also slightly smoky. Still a good LROK.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
A real bomb. Very complex ester and lovely . A lot going on without being overwhelming. I am quite happy with the rawcask bits. But it is not as good as I remember it. Really top of the lrok line though
