- Description
- Hampden's 2010 LROK single cask rum delivers the high-ester character the mark denotes, with ester levels between 300–400g/hlAA creating a fragrant, fruit-forward profile. The nose presents candied green apple and watermelon with hints of cherry, green banana, sweet spice, and acacia honey, while the palate builds on banana bread, black cherry, and red plum, tempered by cinnamon, cardamom, and a touch of vanilla smoke. This exclusive bottling at 61.9% intensity shows the depth that Jamaican pot still rum can achieve. Best appreciated neat or with a single drop of water to open its layered aromatics.
