Hampden Estate: Heritage and pure Jamaican expression

Hampden is one of Jamaica's classic distilleries, renowned for its strong, ester-rich rums produced using long fermentations and traditional pot stills. With this Great House 2025 release, they revisit their iconic style, offering an intense blend designed to capture all the energy, funk, and aromatic richness of their brand.

The 2025 edition: raw, vibrant, and domesticated

This 2025 vintage doesn't play the subtlety card: it asserts its identity from the moment it's opened. A blend of different brands offers a complex, powerful, yet restrained aromatic profile: smoke, exotic fruits, typical industrial notes, and well-balanced oak. A fine demonstration of what Hampden can do when it aims high.

Tasting profile

👃 Nose : Tropical fruits (green banana, pineapple), varnish, burnt caramel, a touch of licorice and candied lemon.
👅 Palate : Dense, rich, with Jamaican funk influences – notes of cooked sugar, toasted wood, spices, and a lively acidity that hovers over everything.
🎯 Finish : Persistent, slightly medicinal, salty and peppery, with a fruity return that softens this very pronounced profile.
