The Hampden Estate 2010 LROK is a rum from one of Jamaica's most iconic distilleries, known for its wild fermentations and pot-still distillations. This particular rum is a LROK (Light Rum Owen Kelly), which is a light rum for Hampden, although it is still relatively high in terms of the rest of the world's production. It was aged for 11 years in bourbon barrels in a tropical climate, resulting in an angel's share equivalent to 44 years aging in Europe. No coloring or other additives were added, and only spring water from the nearby mountain was used to reduce its alcohol content.
The Hampden Estate distillery, located in Trelawny, has been producing high-quality and traditional Jamaican rum since the mid-18th century. The distillery has played a significant role in shaping the unique character of Trelawny rum, which is known for its highly aromatic and wild fermented rums with high ester content. The LROK rum is no exception, with a congeners content of 1.240,2 gr/hlpa of which 334,7 gr/hlpa are esters.
The rum has a rich and complex aroma and flavor profile, with notes of ripe tropical fruits, anise, earth, exotic fruits like mangos and bananas, mint, camphor, cinnamon, vanilla, licorice, dry oak, orange peel, rumtopf, fruitcake, and holiday baked goods. The molasses used in the production of the rum is first fermented using indigenous yeasts and without the use of any additives, and is then distilled in traditional copper pot-stills. The aging process lasts for 11 years in the distillery in Jamaica.
This rum is a lovely example of Trelawny rum, and a great representation of the unique and legendary style of the region. It is a must-try for rum lovers and collectors.
