Hampden 12 Years 2010 HLCF Rare Cask 79 is a rare single cask release, with just 260 bottles available world wide.

The Rare Cask Series is a set of five bottlings hailing from five casks distilled in 2010 and selected from some of the estate’s oldest stocks. They represent three different marks – HLCF (400-600 g/hla), HGML (1,000 – 1,100 g/hla) and the DOK (1,500 – 1,600 g/hla) which is Hampden’s highest ester expression that is right on the cusp of what is legally permitted. They have been matured for 12 years in Jamaica’s tropical climate to create some intensely raw, authentic and complex rums.

The second installment (Cask #79) in the journey dedicated to rare Hampden casks bottled in 2010, this version is in the HLCF category (ester content of 500-700 gr per hectolitre of pure alcohol), like the single casks 78 and 80.

The particularly intense and beautifully mature palette of flavours and aromas reveals incredibly pure fruity,honeyed, floral and chocolate tones that push its deeply mineral and empyreumatic character into the background.

Profile: Lively and pure.
Nose: Full and heady. Sage, verbena, mango, flambéed banana, dried apricot and salted butter caramel.
Palate: Dynamic and silky. Peach, nectarine, cane sugar, honey, mimosa, cocoa and ginger.
Finish: Long and velvety. Pineapple, passion fruit, currant, roasted notes, ylang-ylang and curry.

Presentation box included.
