This 9-year-old Hampden 2016 LROK (Light Rum Owen Kelly-Lawson) reveals the most elegant and refined facet of the Jamaican style. More restrained than the DOK or HGML profiles, it distinguishes itself with a balanced aromatic structure, where the richness of the esters blends with the sweetness of the cask. Aged in a tropical climate for nine years, it offers a mature and perfectly integrated expression of Hampden rum.
Bottled at 60% ABV in the Magnum Series #3 , this 2016 vintage embodies the mastery of time and the precision of the craft. Each sip illustrates the distillery's ability to tame power without ever betraying its identity.

Founded at the end of the 18th century, Hampden Estate has established itself as one of Jamaica's oldest and most prestigious rum producers. Its expertise lies in long, natural fermentation, pot still distillation, and fully tropical aging, guaranteeing an aromatic intensity that is unique in the world.
