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 #79
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 second part in the journey dedicated to rare Hampden casks bottled in 2010, this version is in the HLCF category (ester content of 500- 700 g per hectolitre of pure alcohol), like the single casks 78 and 80 also found in this creation catalogue. 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.
