Hampden Estate Great House Distillery Edition 2021 – After 250 years of only exporting its renowned rum in bulk to independent bottlers and merchants alike, Hampden Estate has finally produced and bottled their very own rum and it is a must-have for anyone who wants to enjoy an elegant flavor bomb of a rum that can be sipped neat or enjoyed in some amazing cocktails as as the classic Mai Tai.

Produced with unique and partly secret methods that have remained unchanged since the 18th century. The result is a rum with a distinct aromatic profile due to an extremely high level of esters.

Founded in 1779, the Great House (Habitation in French) of the Jamaican Hampden distillery served as a storage warehouse for barrels until the early 1900s. From the blend of Hampden OWH (between 80 and 120 grams of esters) distilled in 2013 (80%) and Hampden DOK (between 1500 and 1600 grams of esters) distilled in 2017 (20%), this version immerses us in an instant in the universe at the same time heady and captivating, not to say bewitching, the rums produced by this distillery, considered by the greatest experts to be the most authentic in Jamaica. Intensely medicinal, mineral and marvelous oxidative, its aromatic and gustatory palette is at the same time resplendent with fruity and floral freshness.

Hampden Estate Great House Distillery Edition 2021 as with all rums by Hampden Estate is an authentic rum with no sugar or flavouring added. Complex in structure yet silky smooth and tropical. Extremely limited release.

Tasting notes: From the first nose, the aroma  of this 2021 version of Hampden Great House generously reveals wonderfully exquisite fruity, chocolate and mentholated aromas. Refreshing and aromatic, the aromas linger with candied notes. The flavour is medicinal, camphoric and intensely spicy, highlighting above all the particularly full and heady floral tones.

Hampden Estate Great House Distillery Edition 2021 available in extremely limited quantities due to a limited release worldwide.

Distilled and aged at the legendary Hampden Estate, located in Trelawny, Jamaica, that has been producing rum since around 1753. To this day the distillery has retained the traditional production methods that made the aromatic, high ester Jamaican rums famous worldwide. After more than 265 years of uninterrupted activity, Hampden, the iconic Jamaican distillery, finally launches its own bottling of aged rums on the international scene!

Trelawny rums were developed in the late 18th century in this particular region of Jamaica. The Hampden Estate distillery has perpetuated the method over the centuries, and passed it on to the last two surviving distilleries which continue using it. The process of producing high ester rum is highly complicated, and it’s astonishing to think it was developed in a time before modern science, relying only on empirical research and without chromatography etc. Rum experts Richard Seale and Gianni Capovilla, who visited Hampden at different times, were both fascinated by the production process at the distillery. Since the late 18th century, Trelawny rums have always obtained the highest prices on the world market.
