For the Great House Edition 2023, different rum styles from the same distillery are married together. The blend consists of 60% LROK from the 2021 distillation year and 40% HLCF from 2016, matured for around two and seven years respectively. Their differing ester levels bring different expressions of Hampden's fruity character together.
The molasses rum is pot-still distilled and matured in former Bourbon barrels in Jamaica's tropical climate. This fifth edition has a changing annual recipe and is bottled at 57% without colouring or chill filtration. The 0.7-litre bottle is delivered in gift packaging. Hampden Estate in Trelawny dates back to 1753 and produces eight rum styles known as marks.
Tasting Notes
Sugar cane flowers, raw sugar and vanilla, followed by oxidative notes reminiscent of fuel, with Bourbon vanilla, pineapple and banana.
Full-bodied and powerful, with camphor and vetiver preceding clove notes that gradually spread; the mid-palate becomes smooth, with vanilla, lemon and acacia honey.
A long aftertaste reminiscent of warm raw sugar, with coconut and almond giving a milky impression, plus a fine anise note, ginger, mirabelle, wild thyme and sage.
