An unaged white rum from Hampden Estate in Trelawny, Jamaica, combining four of the distillery's eight marks. The distillates come from double-retort pot stills and the rum is bottled at 42%. This small batch brings Hampden's aromatic character in a more accessible style than traditional Jamaican overproof rums. The outturn is 9,000 bottles. It suits neat drinking and cocktails such as a Daiquiri. Hampden uses molasses, natural yeasts and spring water, with dunder, cane vinegar and muck in fermentation; distillation is entirely in pot stills and no sugar is added.
Tasting Notes
Fruit-led, recalling raspberry spirit and cherry, then raw sugar and honey with a geranium scent, later cloves and a medicinal note reminiscent of tiger balm.
Sparkling grapefruit and lime, fine liquorice notes moving into phenolic and oxidative impressions of macerated fruit, with a grippy texture recalling the fibres of ripe sugar cane.
Dense, with clove flowers, geraniums and sugar cane blossoms, candied ginger, star anise and lavender honey, plus a light lemon note and lingering impressions of lychee, almonds and rose petals.
