, ,

TCRL Hampden 2012 Single Cask Rum is a limited edition Single Cask #HD12LS12 with only 424 bottles worldwide, with the TCRL single casks series representing the oldest rums ever bottled by La Maison du Whisky.

Inspired by rum casks’ historical trips between the New World and the Old Continent, the Transcontinental Rum Line highlights the fact that from the beginning of its existence, rum has always been shipped to Europe for nautical, economical and technical reasons.

This funky Jamaican rum was produced in a pot still from long-fermented molasses. It has been distilled in 2012 in the heart of Jamaica, in the marvellous Trelawny Parish.  Aged under a tropical climate for more than 3 years in an ex-Bourbon barrel, it was then sent to Europe for another 4 years. There, it was transferred into a 300L 1st fill Cognac casks. Bottled at cask strength (56.9%) in 2019.

Beautiful gift presentation box included.
