Silky, smooth and tropical, this eight-year-old rum from Jamaica’s Hampden Estate distillery is produced with the same techniques that were used when it was founded in the 18th century. Matured for eight years in Jamaica’s tropical climate, it embodies the aromatic complexity and vibrant fruitiness that Hampden Estate is known for, making it a great all-rounder. A medley of ripe banana, allspice, orange zest and baked apple aromas fill the nose, complemented by notes of ginger, vanilla, dark chocolate, praline and roasted coffee beans throughout the palate.

About
Hampden Estate
One of the oldest sugarcane plantations in Jamaica, Hampden Estate has been producing rum since 1753, specialising in heavy pot still rums with a vibrant, funky character. The distillery lies in Trelawny Parish, near the town of Falmouth, and has changed very little since the 18th century when it was built. Using four copper pot stills, the oldest is a John Dore still installed in 1960, Hampden Estate has maintained its full-bodied style, helped by the addition of sugarcane vinegar during fermentation, creating its unmistakably aromatic character.
