HAMPDEN PAGOS JAMAICAN RUM 52° 70 CL
Description
Taking its name from the Spanish word used to describe vineyard plots in the Jerez region, Hampden Estate Pagos is the first rum in the distillery's history to be aged entirely in sherry casks. This new version of Hampden Estate Pagos was born from a partnership with the renowned Bodegas Fundador in Jerez, based on the idea of aging a full Hampden rum in prestigious 500-liter sherry casks. After three years, the casks that had previously held oloroso rum were emptied to accommodate the intensity of Hampden and moved to the distillery. The flavor, aroma, and color palettes of Pagos are deeply imbued with the unique woody notes of the sherry. To enhance this undeniable influence, in perfect synergy with the high ester levels of Hampden Estate, Pagos was bottled at 52% ABV.
Tasting notes
Nose : Deep and rich. The initial aromas reveal notes of ylang-ylang, clove, toasted walnut, blood orange, apricot kernel, and cherry brandy. With aeration, notes of almonds, emery cloth, raisins, dates, and fine coffee liqueur guide the tasting towards Andalusia.
Appearance : Copper with green highlights
Palate : Lively and powerful. On the attack, cane sugar and chestnut honey dominate the palate. Aromas of tropical flowers deeply permeate the atmosphere. In the mid-palate, vanilla pods and cocoa beans coat the taste buds with their subtle tannins. The finish is camphoraceous and heady (geranium).
Finish : Long and crisp. Imbued with cane sugar flavors, the finish is refreshed by aromas of coconut milk and honeysuckle, along with hints of varnish and mustard seeds. The aftertaste reveals notes of blond tobacco, linden blossom, peppery rose, and coriander. Scents of nuts, raisins, and dried straw linger in the empty glass, transporting us back to southern Spain.
