Hampden Estate is an iconic distillery in the Trelawny area in northern Jamaica, where rum is still produced using ancient techniques, ingredients that are unique to the Caribbean, wild fermentation – the best expression of the land – and distillation in characteristic double retort pot stills. For this reason, Hampden Estate is increasingly the heart of Jamaican rum tradition and identity.
Hampden 12 Years 2010 HLCF Rare Cask #78
Hampden Estate, New Products, Pure Single Rum, Rum, Velier RumThe 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.
Tasting notes:
The first part in a sensory journey dedicated to Hampden’s oldest stocks aged in a tropical climate, this version is in the same HLCF category (ester content of 500-700 g per hectolitre of pure alcohol) as the single casks 79 and 80. Its palette of flavours and aromas is an uninterrupted succession of herbaceous, empyreumatic, fruity, hot and heady sequences that bring it huge texture and underscore its extremely oxidative character.
