2016 LROK - The Younger

Jamaique

The Hampden distillery is specialised in rums with the highest concentrations.

The distillery is equipped with four double-twisted pot stills: the first (John Dore), with a capacity of 7,560 litres, was installed in 1960; the second (Vendôme), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 1994; the third (Forsyth), with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2010 and the last (TNT), also with a capacity of 18,900 litres, in 2016.
The slow distillations, which last around seven hours, produce a rich and powerful new make that comes out of the still at 82%.

                 

LROK (Light Rum Owen Kelly) is the most balanced mark in terms of non-alcoholic particles (congeners). We are talking about 300 to 400 gr/hlaap of ester.

In this case the level is 314.8 gr/hlaap.

             

Hampden 2016 LROK The Younger has benefited from 5 years of fully tropical ageing in Jamaica.
It combines the aromatic intensity of tropical ageing with the freshness of a young rum.

Nose: Delicate flavours of mango and banana, complemented by notes of varnish and pepper.
Palate: Sweet, fruity flavours of fresh pineapple juice and orange peel.
Finish: Long on sugar cane juice and cloves.
