This 8-year-old Hampden 2017, bearing the H marker, is distinguished by its remarkably precise aromatic complexity. Less extreme than the DOK or HGML profiles, it reveals all the subtlety of a balanced Jamaican rum, where the power of the esters harmonizes with a woody and fruity elegance. Aged entirely in a tropical climate, it captures the essence of the Trelawny terroir with remarkable precision.
This Magnum Series #3 version, bottled at 60%, embodies the mastery of the Hampden style: long fermentations, pot still distillation and faithful reproduction of natural aromas from molasses.

Rooted in history since the late 18th century, Hampden Estate remains an absolute benchmark for Jamaican craft rum. Its expertise rests on an unchanging tradition, where each batch becomes a living testament to the heritage of sugar and fire.
