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 #80
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:
This third instalment in the journey dedicated to Hampden single casks distilled in 2010 is in the HLCF catalogue, with an ester content of 500-700 g per hectolitre of pure alcohol, and is the reply to the casks 78 and 79 also found in this catalogue. With extraordinary power and yet remarkable balance, throughout the tasting its flavour and aroma palette reveals empyreumatic, camphoric and hot notes that have not only sculpted its deeply generous personality, but also reflect its extremely traditional Jamaican style.
