The story

The Hampden 13 Year Old 2010 LROK Magnum Series #2 is a rare and complex expression that showcases the iconic craftsmanship of the Hampden Estate distillery. This rum, distilled in 2010 and aged for 13 years in carefully selected casks, captures the intensity of high-ester Jamaican rums.

The origin

Located in the Trelawny region of Jamaica, the Hampden distillery is renowned for its ester-rich rums, produced through long fermentations and traditional pot still distillation. The LROK (Light Rum Owen Kelly) designation signifies a rum with a pronounced aromatic profile, but with a more moderate ester content compared to the distillery's more intense rums, resulting in a subtle balance between power and finesse.

Tasting

• Nose: An explosion of ripe tropical fruit aromas such as banana and pineapple, mingled with notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood. A touch of solvent and citrus zest adds freshness and vibrancy.
• Palate: A powerful and rounded attack, revealing intense flavors of candied fruit, dark chocolate, and licorice. The texture is rich and enveloping, with spicy nuances of black pepper and cinnamon that bring beautiful complexity.
• Finish: Exceptionally long and persistent, marked by woody notes, balanced acidity and a fruity sweetness that lingers elegantly.
