Description

Hampden Estate, located in the Trelawny region of North West Jamaica, has been active since 1753.

The distillery produces a unique rum, characterized by the use of spring water, prolonged fermentation with wild yeasts, pot still distillations, tropical aging and no added sugar or additives. Hampden today works using the same production processes in use since the 18th century , giving life to a rum with an unmistakable aromatic profile, characterized by a very high level of foreigners. Today Hampden opens a new frontier for all rum lovers. These official bottlings in fact mark a historic moment for the world of spirits, comparable to the arrival on the Islay Single Malt market in the 80s.

The Distillery Edition is the result of the work of the Hampden Master Distillers who created this blend using only the most representative marks of their distillery and thus obtaining an authentic and unique expression, with the unmistakable Funky style of Trelawny’s rums!

An edition designed to be sold only at the Hampden Estate distillery or in Europe in conjunction with special events!

 

TASTING NOTE

  • Appearance : deep burnished gold.
  • Nose : refined, distinguished. With remarkable elegance, the first nose is exotic (passion fruit, kiwi, pineapple), medicinal (ointment, mustard poultice), floral (geranium, reseda), honeyed (acacia, lime blossom), roasted (tobacco, coffee) and lemony. Allowed to breathe, cane sugar flows uninterrupted across the entire aromatic palette. Gradually, coconut milk and vanilla bring lots of sweetness and creaminess.
  • Palate : lively, sharp. The very stately and bright attack reveals sweet pastry notes (Normandy tart, sugary brioche). On the mid-palate, lime blossom honey, apricot jam, rose and heliotrope further raise the level of the tasting. The sunny end of the palate is characterized by notes of sugar cane, straw and aromatic plants (chervil, wicker, parsley).
  • Overall : long, concentrated. Adding flavours of vanilla flan and crème brûlée, the start of the finish is a real sweet treat. Next, dried bananas and cocoa beans coat the taste buds in their velvety and powdery tannins. Extremely rich, the very end of the palate is medicinal (camphor, iodine tincture) and deliciously sweet and savoury. On the retro-nasal olfaction, clove, nutmeg and iris butter accentuate the finish’s heady character. The empty glass reveals notes of pipe tobacco, artichoke heart and noble spices (saffron, turmeric).
