Hampden Estate LROK 2010 (119.8 Prf)

Description
Hampden Estate LROK 2010, bottled at 119.8 proof, delivers an intense high ester profile packed with overripe tropical fruit, grilled pineapple, citrus oils, and vivid aromatic spice. The long tropical aging sharpens its structure, adding layers of oak, molasses, and light smoke that unfold with power and precision. Its concentrated character makes it a remarkable example of Hampden’s distinctive style.

Producer
LROK, short for Light Rum Owen Kelly, is one of Hampden Estate’s historical ester marks, produced through extended fermentation and traditional pot still distillation in Trelawny, Jamaica. The 2010 vintage matured entirely in the tropics, where heat and humidity accelerate depth and complexity. Bottled at near cask strength, this release showcases the estate’s commitment to traditional methods and the bold identity of Jamaican high ester rum.

Cocktail Suggestion
Its explosive tropical fruit and spice character brings exceptional dimension to a high proof Daiquiri, creating a deeply expressive but balanced interpretation of the classic. It also adds commanding structure to a Kingston Negroni, where its intensity integrates with bitters and vermouth for a powerful, aromatic cocktail.
