The JMLR LROK is a standout rum from the renowned Hampden distillery in Jamaica, recognized for its high ester rums. Distilled in 2000 using a traditional Pot Still and aged for 8 years, this expression was bottled by the independent Scottish bottler, Cadenhead's, in 2008. With an impressive ABV of 63.2%, this rum offers a unique blend of intense flavors and potent aromas. The nose is greeted with hints of pineapple, citrus, maggi, vinegar, and pungent ester, creating a fascinating aromatic profile. On the palate, it presents an array of spicy, smoky notes combined with anise, maggi, complex ester, and citrus flavors. The finish is marked by a spicy, ester, and glue-like essence. Despite its youth, drinkers appreciate its fruity and vanilla nature with a hint of lovage and a slight, fatty smokiness in the aftertaste. This 8-year-old rum also carries the mark of a classic LROK rum, providing a somewhat surprising yet delightful experience. Overall, it is a must-try for rum enthusiasts seeking a vibrant and multifaceted rum experience.
